M&P40 - I'm Not A Trigger Diva, But......

[g_conway]

Just got mine (40) yesterday and shot today. Trigger was not bad, but I still like the trigger of a friends 9mm with the apex kit. Ordered DCAEK, RAM, and TruGlow sights.

You bought the best of that bunch. hehehe

I'd trust my life to any one of the three when it comes to ruggedness and reliability.

shoot 1000 rounds and then compare it to your friends gun.

Maybe I am nuts or just don't have the feel, my new MP40 has a trigger that is smooth as butter out of the box. It can't be more than a 5lb pull. I love it as it is.

Apex kit is what around $120
break in trigger through shooting what around 2000 rounds $800plus

huh

I thought I was the only one who felt this way. Granted, not quite as nice as the CZ Shadow I was shooting today. Butter.

My MP45 feels the same, very smooth.

I purchased my M&P 40 in July and I thought my trigger was smooth. Then last night, I tried my friend's M&P 40 with APEX RAM and USB without the hard sear. I'm not gonna lie, it made a pretty drastic difference. The reset was definitely clear and USB made the break real crisp. For those that think they have a smooth trigger, I personally think you should try shooting one with some or all of APEX parts. It does make a difference...

Dry fire the heck out of it!

My .45 smoothed out in dry firing at the TV about 1000X! I' know you'll find a targrt to suit you. Make sure all live ammo is in anothher room. (G)

I think coming from a Glock, the M&P trigger will feel mushier for sure. The internal mechanisms are a little different. (Glock striker is partially cocked vs. M&P fully cocked design). This is especially noticeable if you shoot each of the pistols one after the other (e.g. Glock 19 vs. M&P9).

All of the other advice pretty much covers the deal though... some grit goes away with use, otherwise look at the Pro models or Apex kits...
