Reading the posts by all you guys about this gun, I have decided to stick with it over other makes even after shooting it for the first time.

The trigger pull is atrocious, and I am considering the Galloway to fix that.

I just sent the laser back to S&W because it would not adjust elevation far enough to see it over the iron sights, and the adjustment screw came out as I tried to do the adjustment. Will see if the replacement fixes the problem.

Question: I firmly believe in a mechanical safety, won't buy a semiautomatic without one. Does anyone have experience with a replacement safety and a replacement magazine release that would give more contact surface so they are easier to manipulate--and can you recommend what works best?

Thanks for your help.
