A trigger job is more involved on an XD than a Glock or an M&P.
I don't understand the dislike of the grip safety. Why do you dislike the grip safety? I don't even notice it.
Every so often when I'm shooting I will not quite have it depressed enough and it will prevent trigger pull. I know people will say I need to work on my grip then, but in a high stress situation, I'd rather just have a gun that goes bang every time. It's really my only complaint about it. It will never be a carry gun for me. I have a Springfield 1911 and I don't notice the back strap on that. It's just the XD that bothers me.

Powder River Precision also sells an Extended Grip Safety Kit that helps with this problem. I have it on all of my Springers.

Thanks, I'll have to give it a try.
Have an XD-45 and an XD-9, and prefer them over many others.
I've never had an issue with the grip safety, and don't know how anyone ever could, if they are actually using a firm grip on the gun.
I bought a XD-4" in 9mm in 2013, liked the pistol a lot but after 2 years and shooting a friends XD-4" with the Powder River Extreme Trigger Kit on it I wanted one too. IF you can read and follow instructions, use You Tube and take your time you can do it. It's not pop two pins take out old AR trigger, put in new trigger and pop the pins back in. As I remember I had to file and trim the new trigger, getting some of the new springs in place were a @&%$@@ ( dental tools are your friend ) and I would look at the video first, then look at the part then try an install. TAKE YOUR TIME! As an Xmas gift I'm looking at a Spring kit for my XDs .45 and a few of those springs are nasty too.
As it is I really like the pistol with the PW trigger kit and while you have the pistol on the bench why not replace the striker retaining pin as well.

...and there it is.
CanDoEz, that is my issue also. I have a few XDs and love my 45tactical. 13+1 in 45 is nice and the thing is accurate.
