Got my Shield back ... Apex trigger , TFO night sights, KG gun kote =)

[TRUST8383]

So I sent my M&P shield slide out to James at XD-HS2000.com.
Great customer service! And they really did a nice job on my pistol.
The finish looks Excellent! (Inside and out) The slide was done in KG gun kote Titanium.

I purchased the TFO night sights from them (my favorite pistol sights) and they installed them for free.

I also got the APEX DCAEK and they installed the slide components of that kit for me. (drop safety and spring) I still need to install the hardened sear, sear spring, and trigger return spring. Once I finish that, i'll post up a range report with my shooting impressions.

Just thought i'd share a few pictures. If anyone wants to improve their shield. (Already a great pistol!) I highly recommend checking these guys out.

stay tuned for a range report with the new trigger.

Very nice. James is a great guy to work with. He's done some sights for me in the past. I take it you were inspired by what he did to his own Shield.

Very,Very Sharp ! Slide looks awesome Love the TFO sights. I plan on those in the future.

Yes sir! He did a great job on his. After I saw his shield, I sent mine right in, lol.

Although I do have a few pistols that are similar to this setup already. I have a thing for gunmetal/titanium for some reason.

 

[RobzGuns]

Looks great.
I was thinking about having James do mine like his stainless job, but the Titanium has me pondering.

 

[M&P Freak]

Very well done. Gotta get me one of them things...

 

[frdtgh91]

how much did that cost you to get done? If you don't mind me asking...

Looks awesome!!!

 

[Roger S&W]

OMG dude...woooooooooooooh, I'm speechless.

 

[Arthury]

OK, are you ready to sell it?

 

[air8]

Nice. I read about his somewhere else. Can't remember what site I was on though.

He's got a special going on for the shield right now. The refinish was only $30! I paid for the sights and trigger kit and he installed the parts for free.

What does he charge for the sights? I like the TFO sights, How long did it take? That really looks good.
Thanks. sup..

 

[EvilNuff]

I am really curious how you like those sights...I have been looking at them myself and pondering.

WOW, that's cheap enough! but would getting this done void our warranty from Smith? I sure do like the looks

 

[baccusboy]

I saw the title of this thread and wondered who would bother... then I saw the outcome, and I want to do it!

Not sure i'd need the Apex trigger, but man... that slide and night sites look awesome...

I exchanged emails with James yesterday. The sights are $99.50 which includes installation and return shipping. He said that the turnaround time is 24 hours.

Looking GOOD!

 

[TeaQue]
