Just got my XD45 4" back from SA Custom.

Work:
Trigger pull reduced to 3.5#
Adjustable Overtravel Stop Installed
Total Length of Pull Reduction
Reset Reduction

Results:
- Total "uptake" before the trigger provided resistance is now almost zero. Maybe 1/8th inch of slack. Feels almost like a 1911.
- Trigger pull is a CRISP 3.5 pounds, more like my Buck Mark than my XD9SC now!
- Over-travel is almost zero! The sear releases and the trigger STOPS...
- The reset is about 1/3 that of my XD9SC!

SERIOUS improvements!

So how does it effect shooting?
It tore ragged holes before at 7M, but inconsistantly. Now it put 29 rounds into a silver dollar group at 7M with one yank...
At 10M??? My first attempt at 10M with a Official 25 yd slow-fire pistol target yielded a 99... Nine 10s, and one 9. The group measured about 2.5" across. And it was my first time at 10M post-mods.

The trigger breaks like a 1911, with a much better "suprise" break.

Functionally?? I only had 50 rounds of UMC FMJ with me, but it ran 100%. I'll put 250-500 more through it this week before it goes back into defensive carry rotation...

Shooting it fast, I had only one "suprise" release, but that's just getting use to HALF the trigger pull of before. Speed shooting at 7M resulted in a 5-6" group for 10 rounds in about 5 seconds, with the one SUPRISE nipping the edge of the paper... Bad trigger-work... LOL

The work at SA was about $175.

I also got a set of Trijicon sights installed ($90) and they are crisp, and fantastic at the range. The front post is a little narrower than the factory XD sights, and the rear sight has a sharp, square, front, good for racking the slide on your belt in an emergeny for a one-handed clearance drill. The factory XD sights hve a sloped front edge.

I'm VERY happy so far with Sprifield's work, and the gun was back in LESS THEN 30 DAYS!
