It greatly reduced the travel, more than half. It brings the trigger pull down towards 4.5-5 lbs, or real close.

Now that I've done it, it was quite simple. I hadn't done quite a detailed strip until now, because the XD has only had about 100 rounds through it.

it will be much easier next time.

XD triggers can be really sweet. I had mine done by Springer Precision, before they had started releasing the do it yourself stuff. It was really nice. Had a 4 lb trigger with very little take up or over travel. The DIY stuff is pretty good too, from what I've heard.

Did you install a new trigger bar, as well?

I did the Springer Precision job to my XD-9 Tactical, trigger-bar and everything, and I couldn't be happier with it. Mine's about 4lb, as well.

No. The trigger bar is next. I'm waiting for it to go on the "group buy", so I can save a few bucks. I paid about $30/shipped for the sear, sear spring, and trigger spring. That was quite a bit cheaper than normal cost.

Oh, Sorry. It was on my XD40. It was a stage 2 kit. It was the sear, sear spring, and the tripper spring. It greatly reduced the take up, and also slighly reduced the trigger pull. It feels much much better.

Ok, Now you can help me do mine, lol :cheers::D:up::cheers:

I need to find a good local gunsmith that is reasonable on the install prices. I want to add a set of night sites just not sure which one.

Sure. It's really not that difficult. I was a little skeptical of my abilities, but that was unwarranted. I watched a youtibe video as I did it, and that helped a bunch. I'm pretty sure I can do it without the video next time. As a matter of fact, today is gonna be that next time. I will be stripping down my XD in just a few hours. I'm going to be doing some serious polishing. Anything that can be polished (except the slide), is going to be polished.

What is the link of the youtube video. I guess it is about time to do a full strip of my XD, (2500 and a year and a half old):eek::D

This is the best video I've found to show you how to take apart the lower.

This is the best video I've found for the sear reassembly
