M&P 40C new trigger

[UrbanResQ]

So I wrote a letter to S&W if they updated their triggers and this is what I got:

REFERENCE NUMBER: LTK51404006498X Please use this ticket number in any correspondence with us.
SUBJECT: New triggers

Dear Customer,

They have a different trigger in the M&P Shield only. They have not updated the triggers on all of the other M&P's.

If further assistance is required please reply accordingly.


Sincerely,

Don



So for what it's worth, I guess it's depending on the individuals comfort level and their own tastes in triggers. Hope this helps ease some curious minds.

I wonder how many of the people all wound up about the M&P trigger actually know how to shoot from reset?

The reset has always been just fine, just not as distinctive as a Glock when dryfiring...

Gave in to the hype.. Or lack there of I guess.

So a year has gone by and I ended up putting in an Apex trigger in march of 2014. Mind you when I bought this pistol I was a brand new shooter. After 9 months of range time and some classes I was doing just fine with the new trigger ... but due to a feeling of a lighter reset.. and my curiosity, I switched back to my stock trigger. Funny thing is my marksmanship and muscle memory has been set in and I shoot the same as I did with the Apex trigger. I did notice that the reset was WORSE with the Apex trigger than the factory trigger (no spring upgrades or sear upgrades.)

So after the original trigger was replaced, I ended up using FrogLube on the trigger bar where the bar meets the striker block as well as on the striker block and the grittiness went completely away. Smooth as butter.

I guess after a year of classes and training it doesn't matter what you put in your gun. Good learning experience. My gun is back to stock.

Confused

I'm confused. Were you convinced by someone else to put the Apex kit in, or were you unhappy with the grittiness of the trigger feel?
Was the grittiness gone when you put in the DCAEK?
It sounds as though you are happy with the trigger now, so it all worked out, right?
