New M&P Shield 9mm -- trigger pull over 10 pounds!
- Thread starter hotrail
- Start date
Same here with a FS and Shield in .40 10.5 is a heavy triggger
hotrail, I didn't do the Glock trigger spring so I can't speak for that. However, I would just try changing the sear first and it's not too expensive that way. I'm not a big do it yourself person, but I did change mine and it isn't something that is too difficult plus Apex has a Youtube instructional video available. I didn't put the Ultimate Striker Block in because it does require removing the rear sight but I had ordered Tru Glo TFX Pro sights which I was planning on having a gunsmith install anyway so I just had him put in the striker block too. BTW, this model of Tru Glo's are great, they have Tritium on them for night sights and they also use fiber optic rods for increased vision in the daylight. So now I feel I have the perfect CCW.

I went and looked. Wolf Springs #32241 Standard trigger spring, all Glock pistols. I don't know. I read it on the M&P Forum and just ordered it when I got the sear. I'm sure I got both from Brownells, because I definitely didn't get them from different places. I have no idea if it helps, as I've never tried it with the new sear and stock spring to compare, but it didn't cost much so I just did it.
Great outcome -- really pleased with this Shield
So to follow up on my original post and share the outcome, I took the advice above and today I installed the Apex sear. Installation is fairly easy and there are plenty of videos out there on youtube, probably the best one is by Apex.
I measured the trigger pull at around 7 - 7.25 pounds today, BEFORE the mod. Now it is hard to measure trigger pull consistently on this gun, because the trigger has a lot of curvature which causes your gauge to ride up and stop engaging the trigger safety. Then you get an overstated reading. But the pull seems to have worked in a bit from the original heavy (8+ pounds) pull.
AFTER the mod, trigger pull is hovering around or just over 5 pounds. Took it to the range and it was tremendously more shootable. My indoor range does not allow rapid fire, but I was cheating as much as I could and the size of my groups was a great deal better than previous. Certainly good enough to score hits. This is pretty much what I wanted this gun to be in the first place.
Thanks all for the advice.
