After my range trip yesterday, I have decided to have a trigger job done. It is just so much harder for me to be consistently accurate with this gun compared to my full size 1911, so I called my trusted local gunsmith. He said he will make it run "smooth as silk" for $25.00. How could I go wrong. I'm taking it to him tomorrow but won't be able to post a range report for a couple weeks as he says he is backed up 10 days. When that one is done, I will take him the 1911 to work on the "rattling" trigger of the 1911. I will post a report on the results as I can.

It's actually a fairly simple DIY project and if you do a search here you wll find the instructions. I find it hard to belive that for $25 that he is going to do more than just swap out the spring. I'd ask him exactly what he is planning to do.

I did my own by following the well-published Burwell instruction. Mine turned out great and I like the trigger feel as much as my Springfield 1911. I do prefer some aspects of my Sig P220 trigger more, but that is a different story. DO NOT attempt a trigger job by doing it yourself or even an unqualified gunsmith, unless you are willing to render your lifetime warranty moot.

If you have an extra $100 or so laying around, you could send it into S&W to have them perform a real custom trigger job. This will give you an awesome trigger and maintain your warranty.
 
Do a google search for "burwell gunsmithing", Dan's the guy that started the whole M&P trigger job train a rollin.

I used his instructions and did my full sized 45's trigger myself. The real difference came from rounding the edge on the firing pin safety bock plunger in the slide. When pulling the trigger there is a hump on the trigger bar that engages that plunger, pushing it up to disengage the firing pin safety. when the hump contacts the plunger both have burrs and sharp corners that don't slide across each other worth a darn. Smoth those surfaces out and the triggers on these guns smooth out and lighten up very well, made all the difference in the world.
 
I did my own as well, didn't even have to take it apart or see a gunsmith....just used the money I would have spent on a trigger job and bought more ammo and shot it a lot, dry fired it a lot as well. Gun now has over 7000 rounds and keeps on getting better!
Try it You'll like it!........(just my opinion on things).

Bullitholz has it right guys, works the same on the sigma series. super fine stone and about 20 minutes.
 
another vote for the burwell instructions and DIY. My full size and compact .40's came out great and I am totally mechanically uninclined.
