    My Experience Installing an Apex Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit in my M&P M2.0 Co

    I am not sure how installing an Apex Trigger kit would give you light primer strikes?? The trigger kit does NOTHING to the striker. Light primer strikes are caused by weak striker springs. Either worn out or some after market striker spring installed for a competition gun. That you would...

    Which night sights do folks recommend for Shield?

    Trijicon HD. I like the green best. Have them on 4 - 2.0's including my 2.0 Shield. This sight pusher has done all of my sights, including my Glock's as well...

    M&P 2.0 significant slide movement upon trigger break

    The lock up issue was a pretty well known issue for some 1.0's. The barrel on the 2.0 was changed to fix this issue specifically.

    Shield Plus slide release

    On my Shield 2.0 is almost impossible to release when the weapon is empty (no mag). At the range when I insert a new full mag it is much easier. That said I am a sling shoter most of the time, so it does not matter to me. Personally I would NOT file anything down. Yes break in will help this...

    Shield vs shield plus

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVkFbnuDhsE I want the 13 rounds. My 20 year old daughter loves my 2.0 Shield, and will make a great first gun for her tiny little hands.

    My Experience Installing an Apex Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit in my M&P M2.0 Co

    Do you a link showing this??? Was this on a 1.0...because that trigger bar was a total mess with that curly end you could bend. On a 2.0 I am not sure how it would fail in a drop test?? If it did fail it would fail on the stock parts as well. The parts are way better quality than the stock...

    Why bother with a Full Size M&P 45 M2.0

    Personally I think the 45, especially a full size one, has less kick than a faster 9mm. I had a Glock 21 years ago that was so soft shooting compared to my Glock 17's. The 17's were not bad but that 21 was like butter to shoot. I would like to try out a full size M&P 2.0 in 45.

    Whats Your S&W EDC

    9mm Shield 2.0 with Trijicon HD (Yellow), the rest is stock. 7 round in the weapon, 8 round in the pocket via a NeoMag. Hornady 135grain Critical Duty. CrossBread MiniTuk IWB. Pure CCW comfort! On a rare occasion, M&P 2.0 9mm, 4.25 inch, Trijicon HD (Yellow), the rest is stock, same ammo...

    Slide Racker Plate Poll

    This is the way to do it. I teach anyone that asks about slide racking this method. In fact its 90% push IMHO. The biggest problem with slide racking, especially this method, is newbies tend to ride the slide and not let go, possibly causing issues. Practice makes perfect.

    Slide Racker Plate Poll

    I am of the opinion if you can't rack it, even using the push-pull method, then you should not own it. Yeah that is a bummer, but you can buy the 380 EZ model, which is super simple to rack or get a wheel gun. I change the sights on my M&P pistols, Trijicon HD's with the yellow/green front...

    Lesson from the street

    So I read recently....and my numbers might be off, but this was FBI data from 2017. You have a .91% chance of ever using a firearm to defend yourself. Something like 98% of perps run away if you just draw your CCW, not shoot it, just draw it. If you actually shoot your gun in defense 98% of...

    Glocks vs. M&P

    I was a complete GlockTard from 1991 until 2018. I have easily 60K rounds through various Glocks I have owned, 17, 19, 26, 21. In 2018 I tried a M&P 2.0 full size and that did it for me. I had tried and liked the 1.0 back in 2012 or something but the trigger was just not there and at the time...

    bad timing

    I believe at some point there will be a 10 round federal mag limit on AR15's/scary looking list of semi-auto rifles. Those rifles will also probably get banned. I do hope any law is well into the future and that it has a grandfather clause for both the weapons and the standard capacity...
