Well after trying a couple of XDs9's I picked one with a nice trigger about a month ago and couldn't be happier. I discovered not all triggers in the same new handguns are alike. My M&P's had to have Apex parts for me to shoot them well. I bought an XDm9 3.8 first and have 900 plus rounds thru it with zero failures. This is is what led me to the XDs9. I now have 1,625 failure free rounds thru this one and I've shot it sideways, upside down, one hand dominant hand, one hand off hand and limp wristed. My wife shoots it as well. Never a problem, easy to conceal and 100% dependable and very accurate out to 45 feet for me. Triggers in both just keep getting smoother. I have not tried a Shield with the newer triggers but I will. I really wanted to stay with the M&P line exclusively but couldn't after shooting the XDm. If S&W has truly changed their triggers on the line up please let me know as a .40 shield is my likely next purchase if this is the case. Thanks
