I have a Springfield XD-9 that I just can't stand the trigger anymore! It is long, jerky, sticky and muddy. I refuse to pay the $85 for a trigger job and will do something myself. I have noticed that there is a slight angle difference between the striker and the sear so that the release isn't even, I would guess at about 2 degrees. I confirmed this with bluing. I carefully stoned the top of the striker that engages the sear until the angle was gone and the trigger was MUCH better. I would prefer not to ruin the striker or sear and would be WAY too embarrasses to buy new ones from Springfield, they will know I'm an a-hole and I'm trying to disguise that fact.
- Anybody know XD-9's?
- What else should I do, I've done many small gunsmith jobs but I have no experience with strikers.
My groups are 2" high by 6" wide, what does that tell you?
