Ok, so I looked on YouTube and the intranets and nothing is detailed enough to help. I'm sure it's something dumb...

  So I did a detail disassembly on my XDs... When I got it back together, the trigger was messed up...I had to squeeze the piss out of it in order to get the trigger to break in order to field strip it again. I am guessing that the issue is in the sear assembly or grip safety because this is the area I could not get clarification on to reassemble. I have found only one video on it, concerning the installation of a Powder River spring kit, but it is not clear enough to tell.

  Anyone who can solve this for me would be my hero for the week.   Thanks guys.

How many parts did you remove?  Did you also do the trigger spring replacement?  Excuse me I mean the firing pin spring replacement.
