    Took apart my slide and lower receiver for the first time on an XD-S mod2(.40) for a deep clean after the gun inadvertently slept in a puddle of water that formed inside of a tent during a camping trip. Found a few videos showing how to disassemble the slide and had no problem putting it back together. The lower receiver though... was not prepared for everything to fall apart when I pulled out the FCU, mainly the grip safety spring & pin and how to put the FCU back together. Thank you for this video, only decent one on YT that I could find clearly detailing re-assembly of FCU components for the XD-S series.

    Kit also works on the Mod2. Two minor notes... striker back plate- holds the striker and the extractor spring plate, be careful when removing. Pain in the butt when reinstalling seems to have a lot of tension from both springs. Second, grip safety spring(factory spring) kept slipping out of its grove on the sear when putting it all in the frame. Trigger pull is much lighter, comparable to the mod1 setup. Very happy with the kit. Thanks Galloway👍🇺🇸

    • @GallowayPrecision

      You don't change the safety springs to actually change the weight of the pull. NEVER change a safety spring, that's a good way render a safety inoperable.

      @ZZstaff 5 років тому +1

      @@GallowayPrecision Thank you very much for taking the time and effort to reply, I appreciate it greatly. One note, the Disconnector by Power River Precision made the trigger feel worse compared to the one that came with the pistol.
      Thank you again!
      [EDIT: What I meant by the trigger felt worse is there is a "stop" feeling upon initial trigger pull and as the trigger is pulled rearward it feels very slightly "gritty". However, the trigger is lighter with the PRP disconnector and the trigger break is crisp.]

    @dougfletcher3272 5 років тому +2

    The XDS isn't exactly my favorite pistol to switch out parts on. Through experimentation (meaning, failure and swearing and some crying) I found that the HK needle-nose pliers for their trigger return spring installation helped with the XD. Looping the sear spring to the grip safety pin and then hooking on the sear is pretty difficult. So I hooked the spring to the sear, then grasped the spring in the needle-nose pliers and lifted it into the housing unit with the grip safety pin about halfway through. Loops on easy and you maintain tight control.

    Well done, very helpful. I just sold my first version XDs 45 and purchased a Mod-2 45 (XDs)...can you provide any changes to the procedure for a Mod-2 gun? I know just from observation that the extractor and slide end plates are different (no roll pin for the extractor -- the Mod-2 looks more like a Glock setup). I just need to know if the spring installation for the frame components is the same. Many thanks...IMHO you provide the best instructional videos on UA-cam.

      Then it was either installed incorrectly or you need to use a higher quality ammunition. If you're using low grade bulk ammunition to test a defensive pistol that you just put a reduced power spring kit in, you're going to yield low grade results. We use PMC Bronze, Speer Lawman, HPR, DRT, and Liberty Civil Defense for in house testing.

    I have XDS 45 with 3.3 barrel and after installing your spring kit and going to the range my pistol would not fire. After 2 light strike no fire I put the stock striker spring back in and had no more problems firing and the trigger still felt it was upgraded as I had not changed anything but to reinstall the stock striker spring. With that said I STILL RECOMMEND THIS SPRING KIT, just do NOT install the striker spring in the kit for 45ACP.

    • @GallowayPrecision
      @GallowayPrecision  Рік тому

      Misfires with hard primer bulk ammo is going to happen in stock form and more so with reduced power striker springs. We have information on our faq page on hard primer bulk ammo to avoid due to the hard primer used in some brands of low grade bulk ammo, regardless function checks on a defensive weapon would be done with off the shelf defensive ammo as it would use in application, which this time of ammo is much higher grade including soft primers, fresh cases, cleaner powder etc. Higher quality bulk practice ammo will also benefit from those features.

      It is a pain in the ass. Well , not really a pain. Just confusing as far as how everything goes back.. I cannot stand to have a firearm that I don't know how to COMPLETELY dissasemble to clean.. I bought my xds lightly used. Almost brand new.. HOWEVER, the guy that I bought it from graduated from the school of , " drench your firearms in oil" , so I knew after I put 600 rnds thru it , plus his 50 or 60, that there was gonna be so much crud stuck to the residual oil in the fire control group that it kept me up at night. So finally I decided that I was gonna do it.. got the roll pin out, cleaned everything and hit a wall with the grip safety foot in relation to the sear , and the how the spring contacted the back of the safety lever. This dude saved my ass.

    Doesn't look fun. And that's coming from a guy who has no fear taking the side plate off a DA Smith, or completely disassembling a 1911

      Yeah, it can be a really pain with the way the FCU is set up in these things with the grip safety having to be held in through the entire reinstallation. Every one of these that comes through the shop, I'm the only one who does them now because they fight everyone else lol.
