Default Replaced your M&P Shield .45 or 9mm Performance Center factory sear?

For those of you who have replaced their M&P Shield .45 or 9mm Performance Center factory sear with an Apex sear...and are willing to part with/sell the factory sear, would you private message me as i'm looking to get one to test run on my shield 9 (for CCW). I've confirmed the .45 PC sear from the 1.0 models does fit the 9mm as a drop in replacement.


Right now i'm not considering the Apex sear or polishing any of the trigger parts.

Thanks

The shield uses a different sear than the full sized 9mm/.40.

I think it's actually the same as the .45 and they didn't do performance center .45's. That's a bit of educated speculation on my part though because I only know that if you get an apex sear for the shield 9/40 they're the same as the full size .45 version. I would assume it's the same with S&W sears as well.

Don't know what's different about them exactly other than slightly different geometry.

Just curious though... why not apex?

Right now my trigger comes in at 6 lbs 5 oz (avg), and Apex advertises that their sear would most likely drop the trigger pull to 5 lbs or under and i dont want anything less than 5 lbs since my Shield 9 will be for CCW. I've read that the Pro/Performance center sear is more "enhanced" that the baseline M&P sear, but not necessarily as "aggressive" as the Apex sear, so im thinking it would keep the trigger pull at 5 lbs even or slightly higher. But i need to get my hands on one to try out, or if someone who has personal experience with swapping in a Pro/Performance Center sear can chime in with their trigger pull weight.

Gotcha, yeah the shield triggers can gen pretty light if just using the apex sear with the stock springs. To get your trigger pull back up above the 5lb mark you'd have to do the whole duty carry package with all the springs.

Well hopefully someone can give you a definitive answer on the performance center sear. It would have to be whatever they're using in the PC ported shields.
