I just got one too and agree about the trigger. Which one did you go with? Any other apex parts needed in this gun, or just the trigger?

Do you carry with that light of a spring or is it a range gun only?

For her .45, I used a cut off wheel, then shaped it with files and fine grit sandpaper.
Either method will work well as long as you measure twice and cut once. Steady hand and DON'T RUSH! I'd post pics of hers, but its wrapped and waiting to go under the tree. If you have any questions or need guidance, PM me.

Glad to see other cutting the beaver tails off, I did my MP .45 FS like it is in the compacts.

Replaced the factory trigger and sear with the apex trigger and forward set sear kit. The difference is amazing!

M&P 9 pro. Just got it a month ago. Only 1500 rounds through it. I got it for IDPA SSP.
M&P 9 shield. A bit older. 2500 rounds and zero issues.

Just picked up my Performance Center 5" 9mm yesterday.
So far added a Hogue grip (I have big hands) and a LF Arms
all steel extended mag release. Leupold Deltapoint on the way
too.
Waiting on some 9mm ammo to show up and then I'll get to
the range. Going to live with the stock trigger setup for now.

If you have large hands, why not use the large grip panel that comes with the pistol? (just curious, I'm not a big fan of slip on grips with finger grooves, they never seem to match my fingers.  )

I did try the large grip insert, but really liked the feel of the
Hogue in my hand. I have a pistol grip on my AR too, so I guess
I'm used to the feel maybe?
The Hogue also seems a little "fatter" through the mid section
(just like me!) which adds to the better feel for my big hands.
That is a trick holster set up. I'm probably going with a Comp
Tac International to start with.

Got my Shield 40 today. Haven't even giving it it's first bath and had to do a trigger job on it. Stock break on the trigger was about 7.5lbs so I tweaked it. Breaks right at 5lbs now with all stock, tweaked parts. Debating on getting the AEK for it but I'd like the poly one rather than the aluminum one. No word on if they're working on one yet. Love it on my EDC FS 40.
Took a holiday family picture too
