    Shield 45 positive experience! *Update* Apex sear now 4/29 update added

    I installed only the Apex aluminum trigger in my .45 and my Lyman gauge shows 4.2#. I hate the factory hinged plastic triggers and have Apex triggers in all my M&P's.

    Winchester White box and your semiautomatic

    FWIW, I had some eject issues with my M&P 9L CORE and my Glock 19 using 115 gr. ammo. My solution was installing weaker recoil springs. I'm using a ISMI 13# spring in my 9L and a Wolff 15# spring and guide rod in my G19. Both run flawlessly now using any ammo, 115 gr. range ammo to 147 gr. +P...

    Shield 45 vs 9/40 size difference

    .45 is a little longer, otherwise the same dimensions.

    Brand New M&P 9mm Shield will not go into battery

    Ask S&W to send a Fedex label to send it in for inspection. Include a copy of your photos, etc.

    Trigger change

    I don't like the M&P 2-piece hinged trigger and have Apex triggers in my Shield 9 & .45 and Pro CORE. A light, crisp trigger helps accuracy a great deal.

    M&P 9 2.0 failure to extract causing double feed - solutions?

    First malfunction at 1,985 rounds fired, leads me to believe you should clean more often. I'm thinking the problem is carbon in the extractor channel. Remove the extractor and spring, soak them, and brush the channel.

    I really like my JPoint on my Pro Series CORE, truly a tack driver.

    two thumbs up for Apex Tactical

    I have Apex triggers, sears, extractors, etc., in all my M&P's, Shields, and Glocks. Apex people are very dedicated and customer oriented. Why do people keep using Frog Lube? I have tried just about everything and now exclusively use Slip 2000.

    Shield .45 problem

    I sent mine in a while back and turnaround was 3 weeks. 10 weeks is insane! SW must have a lot of problem guns out there. :eek:

    I sold my 9c w/Apex FFS trigger kit last month for $475.

    The holster is by Boraii. Yes the holster stays in your pocket when you draw. BORAII - Home I also have one for my Sig P938.

    M&P9 PRO SERIES C.O.R.E

    I haven't changed any springs, only the trigger (and did some polishing.) I will install the sear and striker block only. I'm advised these upgrades will give me about 4- 4.5# pull, which is what I want.

    M&P9 PRO SERIES C.O.R.E

    Got the CORE, jpoint and trigger. Sighted-in at the range for an hour and shot 100 rounds of 115 FMJ. I'm hitting bullseyes but not especially tight groups. I'm thinking the trigger needs a lighter pull, so I ordered the Apex fully machined sear and ultimate striker block. This is a fun...
