M&P 40 Police turn in

[Mfreem08]

I just picked one of these up for $187 otd with 3 mags and dim night sights. Local PD is slowly trading out and as officers don't want to purchase theirs, this local store gets them. W/o any initial cleaning I fired 50 rounds with no problems. Measured trigger pull was 6lb even. Not bad just different than the Walther and Glocks I'm used to.

I stripped the slide completely cleaning the gunk out and polished the safety plunger. I haven't dug into the lower yet but will.

What are the recommendations for triggers on these? Most of my other guns fall in the 3.5-4.5lb range and a nice crisp snap. It does not say 2.0 on it so I would assume the first gen.

 

[Saudade]

Yep, a 1.0. You can also tell by the grip texture, the round S&W logo on the grip and the beavertail in addition to the lack of the 2.0 on the slide.

 

[Mfreem08]

Has the Small backstrap on it, tool in bottom. I'm going to order the Medium and Large. I'm thinking Large will be what I need but that'll give the complete set

 

[LVSteve]

Let me guess, you got it at one of those LE/military only discount stores. As a regular guy those places chap my butt.

 

[Mfreem08]

Nope it's a gun store anyone can buy at. They do sell Blue label but have plenty of other stuff for anyone to buy.

 

[STORMINORMAN]

At $187 each, buying another three sounds like a pretty good move to me?

A spare in 40 S&W: one converted to 357 SIG & one to 9mm...

Cheers!

Where is this store at????

 

[charlie sherrill]

I've got two I paid about that for. My daughter uses one for home protection and I occasionally shoot the other. I recently saw where a company was selling some Detroit marked M&P 40's in the three -three twenty range. I haven't had any problems with the ones I got. Also 6 lb. triggers on both.

 

[Ruger Nut]

I own (4) LE Trade in 1.0 M&P 40 caliber guns.

 

[Mfreem08]

Any drop in triggers that improve or pieces that improve. The hinge Trigger is new to me

I was going to acquire one of these a while back when they were available. It sounded like a good deal. BUT, when you snooze you lose...I lost! If I remember correctly, I did not have a need for another gun (I don't know what I was on at the time!) I recently scratched the .40 caliber itch with a Glock 23-3. I hope you got a good, dependable gun with the S&W .40 cal.
Are the S&Ws pretty accurate? I would imagine they are. Somebody will be selling theirs off so I may jump next time one's available. Free hand at 25 yards, I could only hit the torso target twice out of 18 shots. 15 yards and that paper doesn't stand a chance with me!

Aim Surplus sells the backstraps for a couple bucks each

I sent you a email

 

[rover1992]

Looking for this store?

 

[waffles]

Don't really have much love for them, but if I'd seen one at 187 it'd have come home with me. Great score.

I bought one from Aim Surplus a couple years ago, it was a non issue unit and I know why. It had the most God awful trigger, it had so much grit in it, was almost like turning a 1/4" ratchet. And I love my Smiths.

I put an Apex forward sear trigger in it. They weren't lying, almost as good as a 1911 worked trigger. with the light trigger until I got used to it you would sometimes double tap it. 1.5lb trigger pull. Follow up shots with it usually are within a 2" group. After the muzzle flips and drops the next shot was in just the right place. One of my favorite range pistols.

 

[David Hineline]

I put a Timney trigger in my M&P 9mm Core, it is far superior than the Apex stuff.

If you are willing, would you please share the place you acquired your M&P 40?
Thanks.
