Performance Center M&P Triggers?

[justicetyme]

Have any of you PC M&P owners checked what your trigger pulls are on a Lyman Digital?

The PC video on the M&P PC Ported guns claims "A 4 1/2 pound trigger".
I'm curious if anyone has actually checked theirs on a gauge and it was 4 1/2 pounds.

Thanks
J.

I put a PC sear, "H" trigger bar and new slide stop in my 9C. Waaaayyy smoother pull, break and reset, but doesn't feel any lighter. Don't have a gauge to measure. Maybe Santa supports 2A!

I have two M&P 9 Pro pistols, one 4 1/4" barrel and one 5" barrel. The 5" has been shot 10X as much as the 4 1/4".
Both triggers settled down to a measured pull between 4# and 4 1/2# as measured with an RCBS premium analog trigger scale.

Note: They didn't start out that way, being heavier and scratchy. Much of the scratchy was the striker block. Aside from a touch of polishing and use, they are both bone stock.

I wish I had a trigger pull gauge...

But comparing my PPS which is rated at 6.1, it feels very very close.

I'd say that the PPS after broken in is around 5.5 and the M&P 9L PC is around 5lbs.

Though, take this with a grain of salt

When I got my PC M&P, the trigger pull was 5.5lb....I called the PC and they sent a return label, re-tuned the trigger, and sent it back in about a week (total). Trigger pull measures between 4 and 4.25lb. It is smoother than the Apex trigger on my regular M&P and sear reset is the same. I am very happy with the gun....

I picked up my M&P9 PC 4.25" three weeks ago. Out of the box it measured 6 lbs 1.8 ounces.

400 rounds later it's 5 lbs 10 ounces. Hope it drops more.

Apex FSS and trigger, lots of polishing of the various pivot points. (and no, I don't CC this) just showing what's possible.

Good to see. I'm planning on trying out the FF trigger FSS next year since it's just my game gun.

Thanks for all the responses.

I'm a retired Tool & Die Maker / Machinist - CAD/CAM Operator - CNC Programmer / Operator and longtime personal gunsmith. I've built my wife's and my IDPA revolvers and pistols, my SASS CAS / WB revolvers, pistols, rifles, and shotguns as well as my long range varmint rifles.

So I have the skills and resources to get a much lower trigger pull on my M&P 40 PC Ported - if I elected to do so.

However, I don't think a M&P PC purchaser should have to do anything to their firearm. The M&P PC Ported video clearly claims "about a 4 1/2 pound trigger."

Additionally, and of a far more important concern - for me - I don't think it's prudent to have a personal defensive weapon that has been self-modified as far as to the functioning, especially anything to do with the trigger system.

I bought my 4 1/4" M&P 40 PC Ported to replace a Colt Stainless Lightweight Commander XS as my off the farm EDC.

In the astronomically small likelihood that I would ever use a gun in a defensive situation I don't want to have to tell the deceased's survivor's lawyers that I had modified the trigger.

In this particular instance - for me - it's not an matter of what I can do but what I choose NOT to do.

Thanks all
J.
