Sorry for the loss of your friend. Hold on to that 10-22 and remember him fondly whenever you shoot it.

I love a nice set of wood grips, especially on a revolver.

If you guys ever run across a magazine for a S&W 22a in that box grab it for me please. I will reimburse you the cost and pay you to ship it to me.

We went out for bibibop at a really good Korean restaurant. Came home and changed into my PJs and I am currently watching Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve on the boob tube with the family. Will probably hit the sack around 10:00 because I have to leave for work at 5:00am tomorrow.

Thanks for the heads up on the spacer. I will be calling S&W's CS dept. right after the first of the year. The one in my gun appears to still be in good shape, but not having a new unused one to compare it to I can't be sure.

Many years ago I made a New Year's resolution that I would never make New Year's resolutions... so far I've been able to keep that resolution.

Sorry to hear about all your troubles. But just remember this, no matter how bad you think you've got it there is some poor soul who's got it worse than you. Like one of the guys in my church that just found out last week that he's got stage 4 cancer, Another couple lost their daughter and...

What's been your experience with the Apex trigger? Do you feel there was a big difference between it and the stock trigger? Did you de-burr and polish mating surfaces in the fire control group when you installed the Apex trigger? Is your reset point tactile or audible?

Update #2: New sear block assembly came in. I replaced the plunger spring with the lighter one from M*Carbo and polished the sear with Flitz before reassembling and installing it in the gun. The verdict: Mixed. I don't have a pull gauge so I can't give specific numbers but the trigger...

Update: I ran into a little snafu when doing the trigger job. Turns out my particular M&P1.0 is pre 2011. Prior to Sept.2010 M&P used a very small, 1/16" diameter sear spring and plunger, as apposed to the larger 1/8" spring and plunger used in later units. So, I could not install the...

How do you like the polymer trigger? Have you ever had any issues with it binding up if your finger is not square on the trigger face?
