M&P Performance Center action work (completed w/pics)

[021411]

I did not waste any time sending off my new M&P 40 for the PC action work. Their quoted turnaround time was what got my attention. I know it's not Burwell or Bowie quality but it should be light years better than stock. Warranty is retained and it will be kosher to use at work since it was worked on by the factory. I need to qualify with it before the month is over.

Here's what the price looked like on my end.

$125 Express Service
+
$36 Express shipping

I thought shipping was included in the Express Service price but I guess not. I asked and the rep said no. Maybe I paid the extra $36 to get the return label sent to me ASAP.

9-15-09 (Tuesday)
-M&P 40 purchased
-S&W called to order package

9-17-09 (Thursday)
-150 rds fired for function testing
-Return label and order form dropped off by FedEx Express (overnight service)
-M&P dropped off at FedEx.

9-18-09 (Friday)

-Action job completed same day and shipped out FedEx 2 Day!!!!!

9-19/20-09 (Saturday/Sunday)

9-22-09 (Tuesday)
-M&P in-hand

Not bad at all considering there was a weekend in the middle of it.

I've been thinking of sending my M&P9 FS in for some action work. Let us know how it works for you.

Does anyone know what exactly S&W does to the internals besides changing out the sear? Any reduction to pre-travel, over-travel?

[beastfrog]

They pretty much do just what you tell them to do. If all your getting is the PC sear then your pre travel will lengthen and your overtravel will shorten. You might consider making sure they polish the action if you haven't already.

I may eventually send mine in and get the mass compliant internals with a pc sear. Just waiting a little to see if someone else will offer aftermarket parts to accomplish the same thing.

I sent it in for the "Action Package" which consists of the following:
Polish Ramp
Tuned Action
Install Performance Center Sear
Test Fire for Function

I wonder what tuned action entails..

I wonder what tuned action entails..

Polishing the metal on metal connections from the trigger bar to the striker. You'll like it.

I'm about ready to do this to both of mine since I'm close to giving up on the pt.com gun at this point.

Will they insall a MA-compliant trigger bar & trigger bar spring along with the PC sear if you ask, and obviously pay for it?

Yes, they will. Others have said the price was the same as quoted earlier in this thread.

Let us know how it works out. My M&P 45 will be going that route too....though I've put around 1,000 rnds through mine and the stock trigger has smoothed out considerably.
