A: Several reviewers have stated the same A J. "I did feel that the trigger pull on the XD-S was a bit heavier than it needed to be, but the trigger breaks smoothly and resets quickly with a tactile and audible click". You could look into another firearm at Buds an see what they will give you for a "Trade In Value" towards that purchase.

A: The main reason the trigger is long and heavy is because this is a "striker fired" action and that means there is a lot going on when you pull the trigger. Often have long take up, long over travel, heavy break weight and that "gritty feel". You can find this in most brands of striker guns Glock, Sig, S&W, Ruger. I've read that the new Rugers have made strides in trigger quality but I haven't shot one. I also know that Sigs seem to have one of the best reviewed triggers right out of the box. My APEX improved Sigs have outstanding triggers now. Look into trigger upgrades that might be available for your gun, (see APEX) … if you can't improve it trade it.

A: Eric, This package has 2 magazines, 1-7 round, 1-8 round, case, 2 back straps, cable lock, bore brush. No holster or magazine pouch. The price difference could be due to no holster or pouch or just inventory pricing.

A: Eric - "Essential" means it comes with just the essentials ... and as stated this one comes with: 1 Flush Fitting Magazine and 1 with New Mid-Mag X-Tension, 2 Interchangeable Backstraps, Lockable Case, Cable Lock, Bore Brush. The XDs "Gear" package comes with the above items, plus: Deluxe Lockable Case, Right Hand Paddle Holster and Double Mag Pouch. Bud's prices are based primarily on 'replacement cost' of buying another of the same item from the manufacturer. Here is their explanation of how their prices are set, copied directly from Buds web site: "Our website updates every 20 minutes, 24/7, with our current inventory and replacement cost.
