I havent owned an M&P, but always knew I add one to my collection at one point. I'm a big fan of the guys over at ATEI and when this ATEI M&P came up i grabbed it up. Admittedly, the ergonomics arent great, but I shoot it much more accurately then all my Glocks (that I'm in the process of clearing out). I'm a 320 X series fan boy, but the M&P is here to stay as well. ATEI did a remarkable trigger job on this thing and I think it blows away any APEX that I've ever felt. The top and front slide serrations make my one hand and press check manipulations a breeze. Too bad mags for these things are so expensive though. I know the trigger on the 2.0's are lots better than the 1.0, but after this trigger job I dont think a 2.0 is on my radar. I'm a happy camper here. Here are some pics.

He does great work. I had him do a trigger for one of mine and it is very good.
 
I'm curious how you judge it's better than apex or others. I watched a video of the atei trigger pull and wasn't impressive. Could you share a video review of why? May help me and others understand.

The machine work on the other hand looks factory. I like that they matched the fish scale serrations.

admittedly...I'd say I much like the flat face of the Apex. I have an Apex that doesnt compare to the custom work that ATEI did internally to this thing. The reset is super short....almost comparable to a 1911 reset feeling. It just snaps into reset. It's almost too short, but I would go that far. It's perfect for me. the triggers pull has lots less take up then my other Apex up as well. I think you cant compare hand honing trigger work to anything drop in production trigger, unless of course we are talking Geissele rifle triggers.
 
@txice I see what you're getting at. The take up on the Apex trigger isn't for me either. Lots of people on here praise it but I'm not a fan. It can definitely improve stock trigger pull but these days, the newer gens have much improved triggers so it's also not that impressive. I'm on a 1.0 as well so the trigger definitely needs much attention. I got rid of the hinge for the solid Hyve trigger and plan to do the performance sear and polish the internals. If you get a chance to take it down, would love to see the internal workings. Thanks!
