Sounds good. This was an M&P 9mm full size 4.25 for those curious. Appreciate all the responses. Mine has been very accurate and my safariland holster came in. Has already replaced my glock and springfields immediately.
The one thing is, once you hold an XD, its hard to compare guns that feel better in your hand. If you're holding an M&P over a glock, yes of course, but even the gen4 does feel ok. Springfield will always feel the best in my hand, but regardless of the trigger kit, the Springfields are going to always be spongy and unpredictable as you pull the trigger to the very back. I'm a huge fan and have been showing the M&P with my now new apex trigger kit on it. A lot of officers carrying glocks "with their own custom trigger work" are saying wow and they now want one.
I'm just more disappointed i've bought so many handguns and never decided to touch an m&p or smith and wesson because a few internet reviews made them seem unreliable because they FTF/FTE like 1 time out of 500 bullets. Go figure.
I have a Springfield XD9 with the PRP drop-in trigger kit ($150) that is the best trigger I've ever used. The only thing about it that I don't like is the high "bore axis". Once I started shooting M&P and Glocks with the lower "bore axis", I felt the XD was top-heavy.
I reduced my Glock 17 Gen3's trigger pull with the Lone Wolf 3.5lb Connector and 6.0lb Trigger Spring kit ($25) which effectively reduced the pull to about 5+ pounds and a quicker reset, so it is much better.
What is strange though, is my new M&P 9c's trigger pull is the heaviest but is completely controllable because after the initial travel, it hits the "brick wall" and is very predictable. I don't plan to modify it at all. It actually feels much better shooting ammo than dry-firing. Go figure.
All three pistols are good but in completely different ways, sort of like comparing an apple to an orange to a pear.
