Being of sound mind (*?*), I stocked up on ammo before that nitwit got reelected so I can go put holes in paper and not have to hunt for ammo. I took my daily carry piece and an older handgun that hasn't seen the light of day since my first CHL class.

I have never tried the Powder River Precision Trigger, but have heard good things about them (for your XD).

It is very easy to remove the mag safety from a browning.

Nothing relaxes me more than an afternoon at the range. I shot Saturday, shot my classic S&W model 66 Combat Magnum (shot both .38 spec and .357 magnum), my S&W M&P 9mm Pro, and my baby, my S&W 1911sc E series bobtail (.45 acp). It was glorious. :)

Still no .22LR or other hot sellers but their shelves are now a bit more than half full.

I went to Walmart yesterday and got a few fishing supplies. Not a single .22 round on the shelves. Just a lot of shotgun loads with birdshot.

I actually had Springfield do a trigger job on the XD, the XDm came with I think the same setup. Looks and feels the same, not the best trigger out there but nice reset with only a little bit of overtravel, probably 4.5-5 pounds break.

Those wacky Europeens, I could never figure out why someone would put such a thing on a weapon. I'll look on YouBoob.

I did a trigger job on one of my wife’s XDs with parts from www.springerpercision.com
I am very happy with how it came out. It is slightly smoother than the trigger on my XDm.
