Description
If you've fired a stock XD trigger and felt that long mushy pre-travel, this kit was built to fix exactly that problem. The PRP Drop-In Kit contains everything needed to completely overhaul your trigger system: the striker safety lever, multiple trigger springs, striker springs, sear spring, and competition-weight springs marked with blue ink for quick identification. When properly installed, you're looking at a crisp, clean trigger pull around 3.5-4.5 pounds with a fast reset and dramatically shortened total trigger travel.
Built for Original XD Full-Size Frames
This kit is specifically designed for first-generation full-size XD models chambered in 9mm and .40 S&W. It works with the full-size frame but is not compatible with XD MOD.2 models, XDM variants, subcompact models, or XD .45 caliber thumb safety variants. Double-check your XD generation before ordering to ensure compatibility.
Spring Options Give You Real Tuning Control
What makes this kit stand out is the spring selection. You get competition weight springs (marked in blue) that deliver the absolute lightest pull, plus standard reduced-power springs and OEM options. This isn't a one-pull-fits-all situation—you can mix and match combinations to hit your preferred weight and feel. Some people run full competition for match shooting, others prefer the middle ground for carry use.
Trigger Design and Installation Notes
The trigger itself is lightweight polymer construction with an integral over-travel stop built right into the back. This design removes unnecessary stress on the trigger bar compared to other methods. Installation requires disassembling your fire control group, which takes some mechanical competency. PRP recommends having a qualified gunsmith handle the installation unless you're experienced with frame teardowns. The actual parts swap is straightforward—there's no fitting or modification required once you're inside—but getting back there and reassembling correctly matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this trigger kit work on my XD MOD.2 or XDM pistol?
No. This specific kit (PRP-057-9-40) is designed only for first-generation full-size XD models in 9mm and .40 S&W. It will not fit XD MOD.2, XDM, subcompact XD models, or .45 caliber thumb safety versions. Powder River Precision makes separate kits for those platforms, so make sure you have the right model before ordering.
How much lighter will the trigger pull be compared to factory?
Stock XD triggers typically run 6-7 pounds or more with significant pre-travel. With this kit using the standard springs, you'll get around 3.5-4.5 pounds depending on your spring selection. The competition springs (blue-marked) can push it even lighter. The biggest improvement though isn't just weight—it's the removal of pre-travel and the crisp, consistent break.
Can I install this myself or do I need a gunsmith?
The kit itself doesn't require fitting or modification of parts, which is the beauty of drop-in design. However, installation requires disassembling your fire control group inside the frame, something many people don't attempt. If you're not comfortable with that level of detail work, a gunsmith can knock it out quickly. PRP recommends professional installation if you lack experience.
What's the difference between the regular springs and the blue-marked competition springs?
The blue-marked competition springs are lighter weight throughout, delivering a crisper, faster reset and lower overall pull weight for target shooting. The standard springs offer a good balance between reduced pull weight and maintaining some feedback. The kit includes both options so you can choose your preferred setup or experiment with combinations.
