Got a new m and p core today in 9 mm

[kmanick]

day 2 at 25 feet. 10 rounds somewhat rapid fire, a definite improvement over yesterday.
I'm really digging this thing.......... a lot
Looks like my barrel is pretty accurate.

I too have the M&P 9L pc have had it a couple years now and it's by far my favorite! I have never touched the sights..never needed to. Love the trigger, very smooth. As far as the barrel..well it's a give and take kinda thing. Yes after a couple mags I have to give the front sight a wet thumb wipe and back in business. I really haven't had a problem with cleaning my barrel. I soak it in hoppes while I go thru the rest of the gun...then I use a brass wire brush and it gets the job done.

Old and Grumpy,

Where did you buy your red dot? I read comments about Amazon RD's not being of good quality.

I bought mine at Amazon with no issues. With prime I got it in 2 days.

Couldn't you have sent it back for a new barrel under warranty?

It shot minute of felon with the factory barrel and was within specs I suppose. The Apex barrel (and trigger) made it into a true target gun. All five shots touching at 25 yards from a rest is no challenge. Mine shoots tighter groups at 25 yards than groups pictured in this thread, which were shot at 25 feet. The Apex barrel is well worth the money.

Which trigger kit did you get. Did it come complete including a new sear. Thanks

I bought it used, with the Apex resverse angle trigger kit already installed. I got a good deal on it because of the poor accuracy. There's several threads here that covers the 9 M&P poor accuracy issue. Apex did a lot of diagnostics and re-engineering to come up with their target barrel.

I have the same problem. I had to drift the rear sight quite a ways to get decent accuracy. The installation of the vortex viper should help immensely. I bought mine on amazon because they were offering an instant cash rebate if you signed up for their credit card. If I remember the total cost was just a little above $100.

Did you get the semi drop in or the gunsmith barrel. Did you do the mods yourself or take it to a gunsmith.
