My son-in-law has an XDs .45 ACP and he cleaned it today. He is a new shooter, and I was giving him some tips about cleaning and lubricating.
After he thoroughly cleaned the gun, I showed him where and how to lubricate it. When we got to the frame and its lubrication points, I noticed that the trigger was back, and seemed to be stuck there. I could move the trigger forward again by pulling on it, but there was a sharp click, and it was difficult to move. It is also relatively difficult to pull the trigger. When the trigger is pulled, it remains back, and does not reset until the slide is racked.
We reassembled the now-lubricated gun, and tried it out with some snap caps. The trigger does not reset without racking the slide, and it just doesn't feel right to me. I have an XD-45, and my trigger is different. So is my daughter's XD-9 subcompact.
I am not familiar with this gun, but I wondered if this was a normal function -- if it is operating the way the pistol was designed. He plans on taking the gun to the range, but I am afraid that the trip won't be much fun if his gun is broken.
Am I over-reacting, here? Is this normal behavior for an XDs?
Any input would be appreciated. Thanks!
