I want to get a trigger job done on my XDm 9mm. It looks like Powder River Precision Inc. and Springer Precision both sell kits. My question is, is one better than the other? Also I see the "drop-in" kits and I can either do it myself or send it to Springer and either way the same kit is used. Is it that difficult to do-it-myself or should I send it in?
Opinions? Experience?

I just got off the phone with Scott Springer. My new XDm is on it's way to him for a FULL makeover. He is very knowlegable and a nice guy. He shoots lights out and from what I could tell does most of the work himself. He's getting my $$$.

I just sent my XD45 to [email protected] Springer Precision for the 4# combat/carry tigger job, Dawson fixed sites and a super cool refinishing. He also emailed me a shipping label so it only cost me $5.81 to FEDX it overnite fully insure. Call me crazy but I think somethings are bettor off left to the pros especially when it involves something that goes BANG! Check out the Springer web site and neat finishes offered for your XD.

Well said Billsimswill, what finish did you go with?

I see they offer 20% off shipping....but how did you get it down to 5.81 for overnight? Do you live near him?

This is an oft discussed topic. I had the same question and did both to see which I liked better.

I have installed a Springer kit (sear and bar) and a PRP match kit in my own pistols. I have shot a Canyon Creek gun. I have had PRP install a kit on two of my pistols (one of them on top of a Springer self-installed kit).

To me, the best in kit is PRP. PRP is better at tuning it than I am, probably because he's more patient. The PRP trigger is cleaner, crisper, and shorter. The best trigger I have is the PRP installed PRP safety lever and overtravel stop. I also have that in my XDm. It is a very crisp trigger for a striker fired gun.
