M&p 2.0, apex kit worth it?

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

That stinks! guess you'll have to break it in with a bunch of dry fire practice!

I've got snap caps. Already been on that since the night I installed the trigger!

I've went with the Apex trigger, comp spring kit and sear. Glad I did. I'm reading and experiencing 'grit' and the culprit seems to be the striker block. I know Apex sells a replacement SB. And read of guys polishing out the stock SB to reduce or eliminate this 'grit'. Why not just remove the striker block and its spring altogether? Similar to those of us who own Series 80 1911s and remove the S-80 parts (& install the shim). I don't carry 'locked and loaded'. I've a MP9 CORE.

Striker block is the only thing that will keep the gun from igniting in case of striker latch failure. Even if you don't carry with a round in the chamber, you still wouldn't want an accidental discharge at the range or something.

Thanx Smakmauz, I've read a lot of threads here and don't remember reading anything about anyone removing the striker block. What you write is right and makes sense. (Y)
