Pretty good upgrade. Missing Spring tho.
I used the Drop In Kit on a XDm 4.5 .40S&W. Original trigger had decent take-up, but not as long as most show for the XD, with a little over 6lb, crisp, break and no over travel to speak of. The reset was actually pretty good and short as well. From the Kit I used the replacement Trigger, replacement Striker Safety Lever, the Sear Spring, and Reduced Power (blue) Trigger Spring. I did not use the Reduced Power Striker or Striker Safety Springs (this was the spring that was missing). I did not polish anything either. After install, the take up was reduced by ~80%-90%, break was even crispier at a consistent 4.5lb, and the over travel stop, on my gun, was already perfect with no over travel, so no sanding of the trigger was required. Reset is more audible and crisper, but not really tactile in feel. If I had used the Striker Springs, the pull would probably have been reduced to below 4lbs, but I like 4.5lb range and wanted to maintain the ability to shoot harder primed rounds.
What an improvement
This kit did the trick! Anybody who owns a XD knows the trigger is the worst thig about the gun and this kit fixes that. With the easy to follow tutorial on YouTube (make sure it is from PRP) it took little effort to complete myself. The only drawback I had was the blue striker spring is a too light and I was getting misfires often. Put the OE spring back in and it works great!
Great fitting Upgrade
This trigger kit was a great fitting upgrade & easy to complete. Fit on my 3.8" Compact XDm, cutting pull force & reset by half.
