Recommendations for trigger kit - help

[usaadjuster]

I have the M&P .45c and M&P 9mm shield - I am not happy with the trigger pull and someone suggested trigger kits for them. I shot S&W 1911 - 9 mm today and really liked that trigger. I think it was 3.5 lb trigger pull. That is what I am looking for on my two guns. If you have knowledge in this area, your comments would be appreciated.

Maybe it's just me, but I am not convinced that a 3.5lb trigger on a carry gun is a great idea, even if it does have a manual safety.

I'm with LVSteve, 3.5 is a little low INHO for a CCW.

Apex has M&P kits that bring the trigger pull to about 5.5 for CCW.

3.5 for competition.

Maybe you have our infamous Mass. 10lb trigger!!

In any case check:

Welcome to Apex Tactical Specialties, Inc.

The DCAEK is great for the M&P, I alsom recommend the RAM kit.

Best of luck enjoy your M&Ps I am a huge fan of that platform!!

Yep, Apex is the place. I put their Hard Sear in my M&P 45 and it is an amazing difference. I'm extremely happy I did it.

Ok, I am getting the drift and thanks guys - I agree with all of you now about the 3.5 -- Not for carry. Thanks, I will look at Apex but if anyone else sees this and still has idea, please reply -- thanks again.

The Apex Sear is an excellent replacement for the M&P.I have one in all three of mine (9c,40c and 45 compact) as well as my 40 Shield.It makes a noticeable improvement in both trigger pull as well as reset.

While the Shield is advertised as 6.5 lb trigger, many ship with much harder triggers than that (excluding MA). S&W will do a free warranty trigger job that will bring the trigger down to around 6 lbs, as well as remove any burrs and smooth out the USB. After having that done to my Shield, the Apex kit hardly made any additional difference at all.

I think the included springs in the Apex kit for the Shield actually increase the trigger pull. After replacing the parts, if you reuse stock springs, trigger is around 4 or 4.5 lbs (IRC), and the springs included in the kit raise it back up to normal preferred carry range of around 5.5lbs (advertised).

Why not sell the M&Ps and buy the Smith 1911 you liked better?

3 pounds 10 ounces on a Shield 40, which is perfect for me. Watch the end of the video where I explain it may not good for everyone, before you blast that pull weight. You may think it is too light, and it may be for you, but it is not for me.
