Updating the Springfield Armory XD with Springer Precision Parts

[@btzemat210]

I love Springfield guns because they shoot everything you put in them. Your XD setup is awesome 👍🏼

[@yrsued]

Thanks, all these Springer Precision products are great to make a great pistol even better!!

This was a great video showcasing some good upgrades for the SA XD. Thanks for posting this. Now I know where to get good, reliable precision parts for my XD45.

Springer Precision is a great source for XD Parts!!

[@mikelarue7750]

I just changed the sights on my XD9. I bought a cheap pusher off of Amazon after trying a hammer and punch. I couldn't get the front to budge with the hammer and punch.

[@yrsued]

LOL, I'm not laughing at you, but laughing with you!! That is a knows issue with XD's and M&P's!! Them sights are TIGHT!! I used a MGW Pro Sight Pusher, it is NOT cheap, but I use it a lot!! You can't use a cheap pusher for these!! Remember, XD Sights push to the Left, when you're looking at the slide from behind!!

[@mikelarue7750]

​@yrsued I was able to use a cheap sight pusher to get them changed out. Yes, I went from right to left to remove and left to right to install. When I was pounding on the front sight I went from both directions and it didn't budge. What is your trigger pull on your XD with your replacement parts? I started looking into new parts just recently. Wondering what kind of trigger pull I can get with upgrades.

[@yrsued]

@@mikelarue7750 At least you got them to work I don't want to post my Trigger Pull, but it is too low for EDC@@. I might send it back to bring it up to 5 Lbs, so, it's MUCH less than 5 Lbs You can send your pistol to Springer and they can Custom Install your Kit to your specs!!

Great follow up! Thank you. Being a big fan of Springfield always appreciate this kind of videos.stay safe and well.

[@yrsued]

Thanks!!! Ya, I like customizing pistols, this is the best setup and the best parts I've found for this pistol

[@rik4369]

I love this pistol and tried to find one around here but had to settle for the XM 3.8 OSP .45 acp Compact after I pulled my Sig 320 off .45 off layaway. I really wanted the Modular concept but finding a .45 acp Modular is harder than finding a Patriot in Washington , DC. This pushed me towards Springfield Arms and after putting a few ranges through it yesterday, I am pleased. Really enjoy your pistol and that style of EXD. I really wanted the 4inch but that 3.8 is more in line with my Glock 30S that I am carrying now. Love those colors and the fact that you did some of your work. I thought the sites would need replacing but after yesterday, I see no need to change them. Great Video

[@yrsued]

I'm about to install the Wilson Combat Vickers Tactical Sights with a Gold Bead Front Sight on mine!! Soon, I will have the final product done ASAP!!

[@mariomedina3868]

Wow, you're a great shooter, I will update my springfield XD9 with some of the things you did to yours, thanks for sharing.

[@yrsued]

Thanks, I would suggest you send the pistol to Springer, they will do a Killer job to it!! They will also do it really quickly for you!!

[@chesspiece81]

I've got a Springfield XD 45 ACP I've had for 11-12 years that I've only swapped the sights out and trigger. I'm thinking about getting a threaded match grade barrel, some work done on the slide, and either stippling or grip tape.

[@yrsued]

Good choices, find a reputable Gunsmith to do the work!!

[@Duran762]

I recommend you switch out the striker retainer pin immediately. Their factory pins are so weak that you shouldnt dry fire them unless stripping. Now I dry fire all the time and the pin is tough as nails.

[@yrsued]

[@yrsued]

Good question, please reach out to Springer Precision.

[@bloodruststaples]

I dunno why the XD gets so much crap. My .45 is smooth as butter, accurate enough, and eats everything. My only gripes are the gross trigger and the fact that it feels really off balance as it runs low on ammo due to the frame.

[@yrsued]

There are solutions for the Trigger, like the Springer Kit I have on mine!

[@ClickClack_Bam]

The Springfield XD-40 is by far the best handgun I've ever fired. The trigger is incredible! Way better than Glocks trigger! The gun is highly accurate. I work in the law enforcement field & we qualify twice yearly. Generally some of us bring our own firearms to shoot afterwards. I still haven't found a better handgun than the Springfield XD-40.

[@antoniobaskerville6823]

The XD is a really good pistol and very moderately priced. There is so much aftermarket stuff for it too.

[@encinobalboa]

HS2000 / XD9 is an older design. At some point, the cost of XD9 upgrades will push the total cost up to a better brand and model. I have a XD9 Service and I compared it to the S&W MP9 2.0 which is a newer design. MP9 trigger pull was a delight and made me more accurate. If XD9 cost plus Springer mods cost add up to a MP9, I'm getting the MP9.

[@yrsued]

Sure and this is America, you can get whatever YOU like and whatever makes YOU happy!! I upgraded this pistol because I've liked it since the HS2000 and Scott Springer has been working on the platform since 2008, I loved his work. I prefer THIS pistol, and again, this is MY pistol and I decided what modifications I wanted to do on MY pistol, MY CHOICE. I WOULD NEVER dare to tell you what to do with YOUR Pistol, you decide WHICH pistol an what to do with it.

In '06, I sent my XD40 Service to Springer Precision for a Grip Chop. They did a good job and I used it for many years as my main CC weapon. Allowing me to use the sub-compact magazines. BUT, I'll never use them again- because they added a notch the size of my thumbnail to the forestrap of the grip. I didn't ask for it, and I damn sure didn't want it! It looked really stupid with those shiny magazines, and it forced me to add a grip sleeve which further bulked-up the grip . Springer Precision - Never again.
