Default Purchase CORE M&P Compact 2.0 vs Keep Semi-Custom Compact 2.0

I'm debating on whether to mill my M&P 2.0 compact 4" for a RDO which has an Apex trigger, Apex semi drop-in barrel, Floyd's magwell, and Trijicon sights, or just purchase a CORE and either move things over, or sell it as a very nice gun. Any thoughts? Milling for my new Holosun 507C would run about $220 including nitride at Maple Leaf. I don't know about whether the CORE is good enough out of the box vs. what I have now.

Thanks!

Once you got APEX parts installed I'd go with milling it.
You will never get such good trigger with C.O.R.E. handgun.
$220 spent in Maple Leaf is a good investment.

Never found a problem with my M&P40 P.C. C.O.R.E. 1.0's trigger... When I bought mine it was only about $225 more than just having a slide milled.

The 2.0 series are all supposed to have a pretty good trigger to begin with.

Cheers!

P.S. I just saw a Taurus G3C TORO for $299. That would mean getting a brand new 9mm optics ready compact for $80 more: and you get to keep your M&P intact.
