Default Burwell trigger job

I finished the step by step trigger job on my m&p pro,didnt do much to the sear over travel because the pro sear looks almost exactly what he does to a reguluar sear,I was nervous as hell about sanding and polishing on the sear,but i did every other step exactly as he does it on his web page.I thought hell if i mess something up ill just order a new part,but i didnt and man i am very very happy with my trigger,it wasnt bad to begin with,but it is smooth as silk now still a little take up which i dont mind that but the reset is more noticable and when it breaks its like glass,nicer than anything eve ever done to a glock.he says he gets triggers doun to 2.5 mine measuring with a fish scale is a very nice 3ish,I think its cool he puts the info out there for folks to do themself,I will say this trigger feels better than the pyramid trigger in my glock 19 and that was 140$ for anyone afraid to try this dont be i do have experience but it is pretty cut and dry.I dont know about a reguluar m&p but if you have a pro you will be very happy

When someone here asks about trigger kits, I always recommend that they first at least look at and try the Burwell DIY.

I've "Burwelled" both my Shield and 9c. The sear contour and the radiusing of the striker block are key. Like the OP, mine are smooth as glass - no grittiness whatsoever. I never measured before and after trigger pull weights. All I know is they feel good to me.

Ime like you i think the striker block is 50% of this from what most are talking about (gritty),I should have added i didnt use a sanding block i used 800 grit and put the plunger in a coardless drill,and also used the drill on the sear very carefully.

Yes, the apex stuff is nice, but like double what it is worth... This guide is perfect for the kitchen gunsmith to get a very nice trigger...

About 6 months ago I purchased a M&P 9 Compact. Sent it to Dan for his trigger job. I could not have been more pleased with the results.
Turnaround was about one week.

I'm thinking about sending him my Shield next. I looked at the video on the website about "do it yourself". Although I have done my share of
gun work, I would not feel comfortable doing this job myself-- especially at the rates he charges which are very reasonable. Also, I would have
to invest in a few tools -- just not worth the hassle.
