I agree. Had a Bodyguard that I did change the trigger on. The trigger pull length on it was ridiculous. The Shield is excellent!I have a 45 and a 9mm that I bought in 2010 I do not see the need to change the Triggers on these guns at all. I have put 1000 rounds through each gun and I know when the trigger is going to break and when it's going to reset and they are both smooth triggers and for the sights I see no need to change them either because when the SHTF you are not going to be thinking about the trigger and trying to line up the sights you're going to point and pull the trigger and if somebody tells you that you are going to take the time and line up the sides and know when the trigger is going to break and when it is going to reset they're full of s***.
What do you all think about this
M&P triggers

- Start date
Since you have no idea how long I have been shooting
or how often, your are "assuming" you shoot more them I do
I'm sure you have not shot more rounds per year then I do.
But, lets say you have. Your 1st post of this thread said
That literally says you have put 1 thousand rounds through each gun.
Grammar Bruce, the correct statement, if true........ would be
I have put 1000's or thousands of rounds through each gun.
Then we would all know you are in fact a shooter.
FYI, because I know you are curious, I've been shooting since
1987, and have owned well over 50 different hand guns and
15 rifles/carbines in that time. I go to the range at least once a week
and shoot a minimum of 100 rounds each visit to the range.
Do the math.
I'd always thought this M&P trigger business was a lot of hooey, until I picked up a Shield 45 a few weeks ago. The trigger on the 45 was smooth and crisp right out of the box. After using the new 45, my old Shield 9 might need some work. The difference between the two are night & day, and I've got hundreds of rounds thru the 9, more than enough time to run it in.
Exactly my point if you never felt a good trigger ,you don't realize it when you have a bad trigger.

In an attempt to get back on topic, I'm thinking that anyone who values a smooth trigger as a top priority would not be satisfied with any striker fired handgun with a factory trigger. All the striker fired semi-autos I've tried have at best just ordinary trigger pulls and don't seem as smooth as the S/A mode of my $250 hammer fired Bursa Thunder which I consider a cheaply made firearm.

Why not, you're looking great, every serious shooter know the stock
M&P trigger is junk. I'm eager to hear more from you.
Always willing to learn new things.
I've purchased 3 M&P's since August, all 3 had gritty out of spec triggers
M&P9 FS, S&W says 6½ lbs, mine was 9.0 lbs, and some grit
M&P9L Pro Series 5" S&W clams 4.0 to 5½ lbs, mine was 7½ lbs and gritty.
M&P9L Pro Series C.O.R.E 5", S&W claims same, 4.0 to 5½ lbs, this one was 7.0 lbs even. No grit
So while all 3 would fire, triggers sucked based on what S&W claims, and
Pro Series guns are supposed to have Performance Center triggers.
Apex wouldn't be selling so many of these kits if S&W had better QC on their triggers.
Maybe you got lucky, and yours are in spec.

Gosh guys, its not how many rounds a person has shot over how many years, rather its how well the person shoots.
How many of you have done any or all of Rastoff's challenges? Post some pics or vids then we can have a productive discussion.

You're right Bob, the OP started off this thread bad mouthing
aftermarket triggers. As if they were scams and we were
suckers for buying them. That was hostile from the start.
He said he did not see the need to replace the stock trigger.
He's entitled to that opinion, just like I and many others who
believe the stock trigger sucks are entitle to ours.
And he ends his post with this:
"What do you all think about this" ?
So I answered.

I still say that my pro version trigger is superior to most other striker fired pistols I've shot. No I haven't shot them all but I've shot several. It is certainly not a competition trigger, but it is pretty good for a cheap plastic gun, and better than the standard full-size trigger. yes it had some grit when new but that is mostly gone. The break is crisp and clean, and the pull is about 4 1/2 pounds The reset isn't very good ( much improved on the shield) and has little tactile feel, but I'm used to it now, and I know when and where it rests, so it's not an issue to me. overall I'm happy with mine but if you can't live with yours it is easily and fairly cheaply improved.
I carry a FS M&P 40 company gun for duty use. The trigger is mediocre but doesn't prevent me from acing the qualification course. If it was my personal gun, it would have an Apex trigger in it.
