How do I ship a firearm?

We now have discounted shipping rates of up to 26% off with FedEx. Please contact us directly to learn more about this option. You can ship your unloaded pistol via FedEx or UPS next day air service. You must declare that you are shipping a firearm. The law prohibits any carrier from placing markings on the package indicating that it contains a firearm. Another option is to take your pistol to a local licensed dealer and have them ship your firearm to us for repair using The United States Postal Service following all USPS regulations.

Why should I use the PRP Striker Safety Lever Kit instead of an aftermarket sear kit?

A critical component of a striker fired pistol is an internal striker safety, which blocks the firing pin from hitting the primer should the striker get past the sear unintentionally. On a traditional single action pistol, like a 1911, Browning Hi Power, etc., this is accomplished by the half cock notch on the hammer. For this reason, these types of pistols have been produced both with and without internal firing pin safeties. On striker fired pistols this safety is a must and not an option.

The aftermarket sears reduce pretravel by adding material between the sear and the striker safety lever. This retards the timing of the safety lever and does not allow for as much reduction in pretravel without reliability and safety issues.

The striker safety lever has three jobs: it transfers the trigger movement to the sear, it operates the striker safety in the slide, and it serves as the disconnect/reset point for the trigger system. These facts make the striker safety lever the critical part when doing a trigger job on the XD or XDM. Our patent pending Striker Safety Lever takes all of this into account. When installed properly, our trigger kits will give the shortest possible trigger pull from a trigger kit while still keeping all the safeties functioning correctly.
