It does sound like a real disappointment. In light of that, it sounds as if it is possible that the trigger is not at fault. Putting the trigger pin in backwards is not hard to do, and everything with function (but the pin will not be locked in by the slide release lever into the pin groove). if...

Even when you buy an M&P, you do not usually get everything you want in a pistol. I bought an M&P, still did a trigger job on it, replaced the sights, polished internals, and I still prefer my SD9. The ergonomics is a big factor for me. Having back straps that I could change helped the M&P...

I own both the SD9VE & SD40VE. Both are great. I do carry the 9mm because of the higher # of rounds. If you are thinking you can use one gun for both self defense & for stopping bears then, I'd say you need to have 2 guns. Yes, a .40 cal. is stronger than the 9mm but I do not think either...

I bought the SD40VE so I could do a trigger job on it. In fact, I hardly ever buy gun without expecting to do some work on it. I have never found a perfect gun ('course, I don't buy expensive). I almost always buy a gun because I think I can improve on it with a little work. So you guys who...

The quality control on S&W SD series is not as good as on their M&P series. I did complete polishing on all internals affecting trigger pull on my SD40VE and came out with a 5.25 lb. trigger, smooth & crisp. I liked it so much, I bought an SD9VE and did the same. Though there was much...

Dajogejr, That is a good idea. I did not feel I could see the surface needing filing well unless I removed the trigger. Maybe I would have done just as good a job... I did not try your method (wished I had). A lot quicker to do it your way. I did get a lot of practice in in taking apart the...

jmccracken88, I have the exact same problem as you are having with the new installed trigger. I have removed just a little and I am hesitant to remove more before I have talked with someone Apex. My trigger feels spongy. Fires almost always with my left hand and much less often with my...

Like stated previously, you can not go wrong with eihter. I have the M&P 45 and both the SD9VE & SD40VE. I really like shooting the SD pistols & doing the work on them much more. I can get a smooth trigger on the SD with just some polishing work (no changing of springs needed.) I have used...
