hey_hows the new trigger working out?
I ordered one for me and one for my boy the other day. I can't wait to play with them.Daniel and Michelle @ Powder Precision have been amazing dealing with me and my trigger reset problem. I sent the XDm back to them a few days ago and already have it back. I already can tell the difference by dry firing, but I will make sure on sunday at the shoot with a few 'opinions' =)
200-300 rounds of 9mm and a few opinions will prove this trigger good or bad..

I did notice something that may have been left off the video. On the video there is mention of removing both the striker safety lever spring and sear spring but it does not mention reinstalling the striker safety lever spring. Now the gun functions and passes all the safety tests with this spring left off and I didn't notice that it needed to be reinstalled until I reread through the threads of this forum and saw that there was an extra spring laying around!
I have noticed something that happens frequently and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing this issue. I would say this happens about 8 out of 10 times. After racking the slide back to practice trigger pulls, the trigger safety seems to stick and then makes an audible pop or clicking noise as I start to slowly depress the trigger safety before my finger engages the trigger. Sometimes the trigger safety moves freely as i press it in most times it sticks.
Has anyone else had this issue? I did install the new trigger safety with this kit and fit the trigger safety per the instructions on the dvd. Is it possible that the trigger safety needs a little more sanding to fit better? Any advice on what could be causing it to stick?
Thanks in advance for any help.
I was anal about sanding the over travel stop, as I didn't want to take off too much. That was the longest part of the install on mine. Here is another thread with pics you guys with XDm's might want to use. (This is on an XD model)

The safety paddle is pretty simple in operation, it has to be binding somewhere, you can push it around to try to find where it is binding, maybe a little bit of silicone grease, or radiusing a sharp edge would help.
Yep, used that link and this one while doing the gun. This one was a bit better for me as it is an m. If you look at the overtravel stop in the link, they took off much more than I had to. I literally just took the corner off and it works -- well at least for dry firing. It resets and all, so it should be fine, but won't know until after 2-300 rounds have gone down range with out any bobbles.
I would have preferred if the kit had kept the original trigger start position and reduced the overtravel from there. But it removes over travel by limiting the forward travel resulting in the trigger starting in the 1/2 pulled position. Probably not a problem for most, but I have mitts like big-foot and would have liked the start point farther forward. Oh well.

Be prepared to take off a bit more material than you think. Mine worked fine for dry-firing and reset too, but would not fire on a live round. I ended up taking punches, files and sandpaper to the range and did the final fitting right there. Ended up getting it darn near perfect by doing the fitting on site.
