OK the 4th M&P Shield a 1.0 40 S&W Performance Center was picked up today
I got two 6-round flush fit magazines with it & ordered a 7-round extended one for $25

My idea for getting it was to swap my M2.0s frame to the 40 S&W PC & put the 1.0 frame on the 9mm
I didn't see any difference in the ejectors BUT went ahead & swapped the sear assemblies & also swapped the sears & used the 2.0 sear with the 2.0 10 degrees striker
Also traded the triggers & locking blocks too + slide stop levers
Broke out my hard foam block & drove the two roll pins out of each frame with the proper roll pin punch, cleaned & swapped all part & re-assembled
I have several 1.0 9mm magazines with the extension & one 2.0 magazine with the rough sleeve, I will swap these sleeves to match each pistol

Parts trading went perfectly & now the 1.0 is a 2.0 & the M2.0 is a 1.0 except for how the slides are marked
Only difference in the Performance Center I could see other than the ported barrel & night sights was the rounded bottom striker safety plunger on the PC
The striker sears are different between the 1.0 & 2.0, the 2.0 has a beveled angle that matches the 10 degrees break on the striker = shown below

Here is the sear from my M2.0, now transplanted into the PC40+
Also have been thinking about a factory Shield Plus Flat Faced Trigger
Just love the two on my Shield Plusses

Received my 7-round M&P Shield 40 S&W Magazine this evening & just put the M2.0 rough texture sleeve on it from my one 9mm magazine
Just loaded it up & have it with the rest in the dungeon/basement man cave
M&P SHIELDS ROCK!

Freestone-Armory HAD two Shield Plus Triggers from NEW stripped Optics Ready M&P Shields @ $83.59ea
I bought them both being you do not see these for sale often or at all & wanted one for both the OG Shields I have now
They should be here within a week, more to come on that & how the change changes the feel of the triggers on both a standard & PC Shield
I would rather have these factory polymer triggers than an aluminum Apex trigger YMMV
Not sure if the trigger stop the M1.0 uses at the bottom of the trigger guard will interact with the flat faced Plus trigger YET
I know it will work fine with the M2.0 frame, in fact they seem to be slightly longer by a few millimeters
