One week ago I sent my XD(M) 5.25" .45 in for an action job that will reduce trigger pull down to 3.5#.
Now I have this worry that it will negatively impact reliability, specifically that I'll pull the trigger and get a "click" rather than a "bang" due to a light primer strikes. Is that at all likely to be a problem or am I worrying for nothing?
I don't don't know what to expect as I've never had a trigger job done on any gun. And I've also never had a problem with light strikes.
someone more knowledgeable than me should confirm, but I did not think a trigger job (reducing pull weight, or reducing pre-travel or overtravel) had anything to do with the spring force of the actual striker when it hits the primer.
First let me qualify that I've got none, zero, zilch direct experience with modified XD/m triggers beyond firing a few owned by others.
But, if one can base an opinion based on other strikers...like Fred & sschrick said, as long as they don't muck with the striker spring, it should be fine.
Springfield did the carry package on my XD sc 9 just after I got it. Slick and totally reliable. Very smooth with a nice reset. Springfield knows what they are doing, hopefully you sent it to them.

Seems I have nothing to worry about. I tried the new competition trigger using every brand of ammo I have: Fiocchi, Blazer Brass, Armscor, and reloads from Freedom Munitions. The gun performed flawlessly and I fired 450+ rounds, so it's fair to say I seriously tested it.
