Well it happened not 2 months after my first gun purchase of the M&P 9. I also bought the 40 Shield. I am hooked. Pictures to come later.

Bought a FS 9 from a friend and finally got it out of jail on Friday. Apex trigger, it's stock otherwise. Shoots really nice, can't wait to put a bunch more round through it! I think it looks good w/ my 15-22

Silicone-impregnated gun cleaning cloth, a high-quality camera, and maybe a little help from Photoshop (or maybe not).

I sent the photo to ATEI and got the following response:

"The finish in the photo looks to be the Black Nitride and it was probably shined with a light coating of gun oil just before the photo was taken to make it really stand out."

Hmm interesting, thanks for the info. I remember the thread on here about that specific gun. It was a thread about letter fill, the guy used some gold inlay kit, but then the thread went off the rails when people saw the pictures of it. You should be able to find it if you search.

Here's mine. Spent Friday at my buddy's gun shop putting in the Apex trigger and doing a little homebrew tweaking.



The stippling was done by the guy I got it from but I just did the backstrap last night since he only did the large one. Ended up having to heat up and smooth out the side of it once I realized how bad it tore up my side once it was in my IWB haha.



I blacked out the back sights after realizing I had a hard time focusing on the front and back, and made the front hot pink with the wife's nail polish (ya ya its pink, it stands out better than any other color lol).



Now this is what I meant by the tweaking. My gunsmith and I did some trial and error with the dreaded trigger bar loop that seems to scare everyone. We found something that seems to really pull the Apex kit together.

The idea with the trigger bar loop is that with the apex kit, you may have to bend it up a bit too hit the aftermarket sear. If you move it too much you can either break it or throw the timing of to where the sear will release the striker, but not the striker safety, and the pin will never hit the primer.

What the result is, is the normal length of pull, however the pull is lighter. What we did, as you can see, it's file a sharper angle in the loop and bent the loop up higher. What this did was allow us to engage the sear as soon as your finger is on the trigger and drops the sear faster, but since it is sharper of an angle, at the expense of a slightly heavier pull. Due to the shape and position of the bar, this alleviates any timing issues.

Lastly, I took fine stones to all the contact areas and ended with some polishing compound on a polishing wheel of a dremel to get the surfaces looking like mirrors.

The result is nothing short of one of the nicest triggers I've felt on a poly pistol.

I suppose I could have made this part it's own thread, but figured since I was here I'd post it all.

Nice pistol. What light do you have on there? And is it easily removed?


I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees

It's a NEBO PROTEC. It easily screws on and off. No tools needed

I think that mightve been my M&P9c that i posted (see Page 4 of this thread) which has a Bonanza Gold fill and has a very similar dark semi-gloss look. I did use a silicon cloth on it when i took the photo my gun so im guessing that's what he used on his. It's a temporary look, but there was no photoshop.

[jhawk19]

My first attempt at stippling. I picked up my soldering iron last night and after two hours, these were my results!




I'm happy with the results. The grip is MUCH better and, as you can see, I added stippling on the safety, trigger guard and thumb rest for my support hand.

This gave me the confidence to do my CORE!!

Gunmetal Color Fill. Looks darker in person.

What did you use to color fill? I like that a lot.
