Do you NEED to do this to the M&P? Nope. Does it help to polish or add an Apex Striker block to it? Yes.

Off topic, but what did you do to improve your G19 trigger?

Update on my broken slide stop. Smith send me a new slide stop but after close inspection I believe it is the old style slide stop without the raised bump on the right hand tab.

Received mine from Grant on Mon. Took it to the range yesterday and put 300 flawless rounds through it. Very impressed with the trigger work. It has a cleaner feel than my other M&P's with drop in Apex kits.

M&P9 FS test fire date 9-20-13

Mods done by Grant:

Ameriglo Pro I-Dot sights
Apex DCAEK kit
Polished internals

1. How distinct is the reset? How is over travel?
2. How is accuracy? Did you shoot any 25 yard groups?
3. How is the auto forwarding?

Hi Grant,

I received the 9c yesterday, thanks for the great service.

The fit between the front of the hood and the slide was .004" as measured with a feeler gauge.

It seems to me that the updated components obsolete much of what's outlined in the only M&P trigger job guide I could find.

Is there a guide available that covers polishing and cleanup of the updated components, similar the that for the Glock?

I already cleaned up the ramped portion of the trigger bar that moves the striker block. That greatly smoothed up the initial take up portion of the pull and makes for a pretty good trigger.

What else do you recommend?

I have been thinking of doing a polish tutorial (like I did with the Glock), but haven't had the time.

The SB is really the number one thing that needs rounded and polished. We also polish the trigger bar interface with the Sear, the Sear itself (front and back) and the side of the trigger bar that rubs against the slide release and the frame.
