I think the cat's @$$ for me would be a 5.25 with a threaded barrel, RMR and a can.  I have been thinking about getting a couple of cans for several years, and next year may be the year.  I keep hoping HPA will pass, but I think that ship has sailed at this point.

Well I held a 4.5" yesterday the balance was really good how ever the trigger was rough and a long reset I haven't shot the XD my son in law has for a while but I think his trigger was better than this one. So I was wondering has anybody had trigger work done on these and if so how much improvement was there also do they get better with use.
Thanks

You can't fix stupid but you can numb it for a while with a 2X4

You can put this kit in! I won't do it on our XD because my Wife uses it and 2.5lbs is darned light!

I have a well used 45 ACP XD and the trigger feels great.  Barrel looks pretty worn on top so I'd guess a couple thousand rounds. I need to do some research and see if you can accelerate the trigger break in.

I've installed six Powder River Precision Ultimate Match Triggers. They are a fantastic trigger. I did convert my carry guns back to stock though because the trigger is so light. That's not what I want on a concealed carry gun.   

One thing to be aware of when installing these triggers. As you are sanding plastic off the trigger stop to adjust overtravel, remove a little extra material once the trigger cleanly breaks. All six of the pistols I did functioned fine in warm weather but once they got cold (below zero) none of them would fire. You could test this by leaving the unloaded cocked pistol in your freezer overnight. Pull it out and pull the trigger. If it doesn't fire, remove a little more material from the overtravel stop and try again. Once I removed enough material, they would all fire appropriately when left overnight in my truck in subzero weather.

Thanks for the info I currently shoot My dads colt new service that has the sweetest 3lb single action  trigger no creep or over travel it makes my wife's Smith & Wesson feel like 10lbs however I'm going to retire it. Also planning to start shooing practical pistol at the local gun club so this will be a do it all pistol as finances won't allow more than one. Also thinking about the witness stock II but would like to get my hands on one first. They had a Glock there also and the trigger was much nicer than the XD but I just don't like Glocks.

I can't speak for the 10mm, but I've owned an XDM and shot a couple more other people owned.  The triggers on those guns felt better when firing the gun then with dry firing.  Mine felt like it got a little lighter after running a few magazines through it too.

I can't wait. This will be my first 10mm handgun. I am from Illinois and try to support companies in my state, so I do favor Springfield, I mean you have to have balls to make firearms in Illinois and for me it is like flipping Chicago Gun Grabber Politicians the bird. Flip Chicago Politicians the bird and you have a friend in this Southern Illinois native. I have the 4" Mod.2 9mm, and the new .380 911, which my wife doesn't know it, but that is actually her pistol. I am slowly getting her to warm up to the idea of shooting, and even have been talking to her about her carrying a pistol, she is slowly coming around. The 911 is a fun little gun, I am 6'4" tall and have big hands. It shoots like a much bigger gun and again it is a lot of fun. Springfield has always been a reliable gun purchase for me.

My Springfield XDs in .45 has been great.

I would assume their 9's are equally as reliable, considering one of those in the near future

Our 9mm XD has never had a hiccup. Mild to extreme and light to 165gr. Stays really clean as well after tons of shooting.

Kenk

Nice, I'm really looking forward to getting one
Thanks

My experience with our issue XD45 pistols was that the triggers got better with use.  Several guys liked them so well they purchased XDs pistols as off duty guns, frequently showing up at qualification with a new in the box gun.  I remember one new XDs jammed one time all the others ran 100%.  I have a 9mm XDs and it has been flawless.

The XD is a version of a pistol designed as a 9mm so if any caliber is going to work properly it will be the 9mm.
