2 M&P questions

S. Kelly · #1 07-11-2013, 10:12 PM

Have the new M&P45s come with the newer, upgraded trigger with a reset you can feel? The 9mm/40/.357 line has been updated, figured the .45 line is next.
Also, does anyone have a line on M&P9c 10 round mags? I am looking for 2 here in Massachusetts.

Can't help on the trigger question. The mags are as hard to find as hen's teeth. Check a number of sites that sell them every day and hope you are lucky. I saw 4 used ones posted at a good price it was 5:00 in the morning and I replied in less than 30 minutes and 3-4 people responded before I did.

I have a .45 built in May, 2013 and the trigger is different than the one that came in the 2008 model. Palpable reset (not audible, but who hears such small clicks while shooting .45's?) but you can feel it with your trigger finger.

The break on this newer .45 is not as crisp as an Apex jobbed M&P nor as hard/crisp as my very new Shield 9, but it is very useable, especially if one shoots it the way it was intended, I.e. a full clean pull from front to back.

No idea when S&W changed the regular M&P triggers, but the newest ones seem like they are trying to steal a little bit of Apex's thunder.

Edit: I have found the .45 mags to be far more available than the 9/.40 mags. Also they come in two "versions", the older, "black" mags and the newer, shiny (SS?) silver mags. Likewise, you can have your choice btw black plastic or fde colored plastic. They are definitely out there and they are cheaper and more available that the 9/.40 mags
