Soon my friend....soon. I'll have the production prototypes in hand within a week, then it's on to full production.

Flork,

Based on your original posting... "5) The Striker Block can be removed without removing the rear sight....and anybody who's installed an Apex M&P USB knows how awesome that would be"... what are the odds of Apex making a rounded striker block for the SD, and someone with moderate skills like me being able to install it? (I installed the USB on two M&P's). Thanks.

S&W Rover, the striker block in the SD is already rounded. A little polishing it is all that is needed.

I've actually found that the SD block needs no modification to smooth out, just the spring we're making for it.

It looks like Smith got it right with the geometry on the Striker Block for the SD.

Thanks -- I look forward to the spring -- the SD is a nice pistol, good value for money, too.

Any more progress on the SD40 spring kit?

I am a new owner of an SD40 (as of yesterday) and I don't think the trigger is bad but it is still a heavier pull than I want. Has Scott posted anymore data on his drop-in kits?

I haven't posted anything else yet.

I set the SD aside to complete the J-Frame project. Now that it's done and being released soon, I'll be able to get back to the SD. The project is close to completion, so I should be able to get the SD kit out within the next month or so.

Scott, thanks for the response. Yesterday, I compared the trigger on an XD 9mm with my SD40. Without reservation, the trigger on the XD was smoother, lighter and just "felt better" than the SD.

I look forward to the release of your SD40 improvement.

I should have the SD trigger kits ready to roll shortly after the NRA show next weekend. I'll keep everybody posted on my results.
