XD Redemption

Post by lwilf on Thu Jul 29, 2010 10:04 pm

Gents,

Took the XD that I'd sworn off outta the safe again late this afternoon.

Ran another 50 through it. Took some of the pointers I got here and at XD Talk and applied them.

Didn't get Kimber tight groups, but they were much better and the left right stuff is beginning to fade out a little.

Thanks for the input earlier. Maybe I can make this XD work without losing my ability to shoot my 1911s.

Main challenge is the after creep in the trigger. Gotta work on it, but got acceptable groups at 20 & 25 yards.

thanks

We are here to provide opinions or experiences just to help the fellow shooter out. Glade its working out.
BTW, make u a copy of the wheel and throw in your shooting bag,because you'll use it again. somebody always has problems and you can show them the wheel.

I keep a different version of both left & right versions of the wheel on my laptop, and it's always in the car anyway.

50rds is a START........ You need to run 250+ rounds through your XD while doing QUALITY trigger time on each round.

You didn't "master" your 1911s in 50rds...........................

Absolutely no mastery whatsoever of the 1911 in 50 rounds.

Took years and some help from veteran shooters.

May have mastered them after 5000 rounds.

Guess I naively hoped that the 1911 shooting would quickly carry

over to the XD. Got a starting point now.

Hope it continues to improve.

Gotta get more reloading components now.

Done runt out! Thats a deep dark place. Low plinkin ammo...
