M&P BG380 Purchase: Initial Thoughts - Love It

Awesome post. I thought you built that sight pusher yourself. I'm going to build one that's pretty similar.

Yes I should have mentioned that. Three times with a 50W soldering iron held right on the bolt long enough to get the surrounding area warm to the touch, without approaching a searing temp. Did nothing. Tried a handheld propane torch for a split second, and then 2 seconds and it didn't help. So...

The pistol is a M&P40c manufactured June 2013. The Apex DCAEK and Ameriglo SW-802 were installed by me. (LINK) I got both for $167.00 shipped from Buds. Let me tell you; I've built engines, transmissions, stereos, furniture, wood framing, and successfully completed various other hands...

I know of an old S&W small caliber semi that has never, yes never been cleaned in almost 30 years but has only had around 2000 rounds fired in that time. Although there is some surface rust in some spots it still works flawlessly. Maybe because it's such a low power round that everything is...

Sounds good, I plan on doing the upgrade sometime early next year when my bank account recovers from these holidays. :) How do y'all like those aluminum triggers? I like metal triggers over poly as I am more accustomed to them. The main thoughts I have against the APEX poly is that the...

With thumb safety?

Yeah I'm comfortable with doing the drop in work but not so much for modifying the existing parts, and it's worth the extra cost for the option to switch back. Edit though, the part that will not fit is the Reset assist mechanism not the USB

Anyone with a thumb safety upgrade their trigger? I emailed Apex and they told me that everything will drop in except for the Striker Block due to the sear housing in the thumb safety version. So I'm not sure if the DCAEK kit will work and might be stuck just changing the trigger itself or...

Firstly, Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Now, picture thread time! Post your setup, and a quick review of the products you use to keep your ears hearing and your eyes seeing! I use whatever the range gives me complimentary, and if they don't I go with a pair of sunglasses and the orange ear...

I actually picked up some of the oil last week from my local "Made in China" distributor, and it's good stuff in my opinion. I am getting the cleaner as well, both for $20 and enough to last me at least a year.

Yeah pressing down on the safety was actually fixing the problem.

Nope made sure hands were not causing it

Yeah I don't know why, but I did 100%-(5/1000), when all I had to do was divide everything by 10...it's end of the semester time and my brain can't process such complex calculations anymore. :o The thumb safety would partially engage upon pulling the trigger. You could see the safety lever...

Yeah I loved them both but I need the feeling of complete reliability through 1000 rounds with maybe having an issue with 5 at the most, which is a 99.995% chance that the firearm will work on the first pull. The defective 40c had at least 10 out of every 40 trigger pulls not engage, and I was...

Original pistol ended up having a problem with the thumb safety. It was partially engaging by maybe only 1mm but causing the first few trigger pulls to fail to engage the striker. Loved it when it worked but ultimately got a replacement that was manufactured a lot more recently.

What cleaners/lubes have you tried, which ones are you most/least satisfied with and why? Upon firing I tried CLP to clean the barrel, slide, and surrounding areas and then Lubricated with the Outer's oil that came with a kit. No complaints here, but I'm very interested to see if anyone has...

Thanks for the replies and I agree it's nothing to take personal. Just was expecting something manufactured more recently and obviously something that hasn't ever been the test subject for the clerks at the store.

Already purchased the gun, but I really wasn't too happy with the store I got it from and here's why: They asked if I wanted one with or without thumb safety, I asked to see both and they only came back with one and when I asked why they said they can only show one at a time...yea. Then someone...
