Thanks and a lot of fun to shoot,,,
Come on down to my neck of the woods and we can take it to the range for you to play with

Cool, I might have to look you up if I ever get another M&P.... Trying to trade off the G17 for a Pro Series on FGT right now. So far, no bites except dumb offers.

PS: I was going the ask wy you didn't remove the writing/logos before refinishing. But, I guess you just answered that question, LOL...

Actually, I should have shaved the sides of the slide first, but we had cut som many slides that day that the mill bit was just about done for. I decided to just cut the slide and see how it would shoot. Shot it in the black and then, you are right, i wanted to see it coated.
I might at some time shave the sides , and finish the serrations on the front and then refinish it again.
But my personal guns are always an on going project:facepalm:

Nice project and gun sir nanner

Thinking hard about an M&P pro to replace my current glock competition gun. Is the Apex trigger system a must?

Howdy

Only if you want to win:D


The M&P tigger even on the gun from the Performance center (I have 2 of them) if I can they Suck!

I have done about 4 M&P's trigger system's on guns that are going to be used in competition in the past two months.

Also, after Cerkoting your slide, REMEMBER, that you have to re-zero your red to or scope.
The coating does add some hight to the slide and the mount.

The APEX trigger system I think is the best for M&P's

Thank you for the detailed info Gary. Much appreciated

What the Apex trigger gives you is a new sear, springs for the trigger (1 will give you a 5# trigger, one for 4# pull and if you leave the factor trigger spring in you can go 3#'s or less (around 28#'s)
you also get a forward set sear and you ca get a kit with a Flat face Trigger ( I use them and they are great).
They have very little to no over travel pr under travel.

you can then add a competition striker spring kit and adjust the striker hit ( I use Federal Primers in my loads).

The last thing to do is add a full length SS Guide rod (4.25") and a 13# ( or so) ISMI recoil spring.

And then test,test test
