Sidearms & Scatterguns Best Upgrade to XD(m) 9mm 5.25

[TitaniumBlue]

Picking up my new pistol Friday and just curious as to what you guys think would be the best upgrade to the pistol. Will eventually be used for 3 gun competition.

or

Both will run around $150 installed, both are great additions!

I was leaning towards a trigger for it. Thanks.

TRIGGER! I want to get a PRP Ultimate Trigger Kit in mine but I am a little hesitant to try to do it myself. Anybody have any input on that? I am pretty good at tinkering but I don't want to F@#$ up such a nice gun.

There are good videos available on youtube to guide you through the PRP ultimate kit installation. Mine took me ~45 minutes, and is a huge improvement.

do it.

Trigger

Springer Precision or PRP

if you're going to be competing, magazine extensions are probably a good idea as well

Love my XDm, I went with Springer for my trigger, nice improvement but shipping back and forth adds cost.

Shipping is a killer.

A PRP is an easy drop it kit. and I think "feels" better the springer BUT springer precision is bullet proof.

i got to shoot mustafa's pistol a couple weeks ago. That trigger is awesome. I would highly recommend it.

It's not the "best" upgrade but don't forget to get yourself an anodized aluminum cocked indicator guide to replace the plastic one. Take's all of about 2 minutes to install.

Another PRP fan here. If you want to switch the sights out as well, I think shipping is covered in their charge for sight replacement or it was when i was pricing it out a year or so back. Own an XDm .40 & just tried the new 5.25 & it's a great gun!

I have another XDm and will probably use this kit to save the shipping.

2.5# Canyon Creek trigger is what I run, it's the next thing to a good 1911 trigger. Nearly EVERYONE who shoots it lets one go before they're expecting it, it doesn't feel like a plastic gun trigger anymore. Springer Precision and Powder River do a good trigger job to, but the DIY triggers don't compare to having them work it for you.

FYI, Canyon Creek uses the factory striker spring, not a reduced power spring like some others. It hits the primer just as hard as factory.
