M&P Purchase/Trigger Job/Warranty Question

[Burgermeister]

It seems to be the general opinion that if you buy an M&P in MA, you need to get a trigger job done. If you send it out to one of the 3 or 4 gunsmiths mentioned throughout the forum for a trigger job, how does that effect the S&W warranty?

The reason I ask is that if I were to buy an M&P, I would typically do so by buying new so as to get the S&W warranty. But if I'm going to void the warranty by sending it out for a trigger job, I might be better off picking up a used one.

If my trigger-job-done-M&P develops a FTF or FTE problem, would S&W know that the gun's been worked on and would that prevent them from fixing the FTF or FTE problem under warranty?

Hmm....My understanding from reading a few posts on this.

1. Gunsmith work does not void the warranty
2. S&W Warranty transfers with the gun. So buying used also has warranty

What M&P you looking at?

S&W's warranty does not transfer with the gun, but if you don't register it with them, they don't know that it's been transferred.

S&W will fix a gun that has had a trigger job. However, if they determine that the altered parts are the cause of the problem (very unlikely with a trigger job) they'll pull them.

Also, if you send your gun back for something unrelated, include a note telling them to leave your custom trigger work alone.

Thanks for the info. I'm considering an M&P9c or M&P40c. Considering they're the same size & weight, I'm inclined to "go bigger" and get the 40. But the cheaper cost to shoot the 9 would be nice.

Go with the 40c and go to http://www.stormlakebarrel.com/barrels and pick up a conversion barrel to use 9mm in the 40. That way you get two guns in one. I wrote up my experience here http://northeastshooters.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=66287

Another approach might be to keep the stock parts when the trigger work is done and install them when the pistol is returned for service.

I will let yopu know.. I am getting ready to send my M&Pc back for that exact reason.. I have had FTE's, since I got it.. They are getting worse, and now I'm having double feeds.. I did have a trigger job done, but the problem has been happening before that.. As of right now, I think the M&Pc's are a waste of money, but my opinion might change when it works properly..

I put a couple hundred rounds through mine before getting the trigger work done to make sure there were no initial issues.

I was told that if you send it back to S&W with trigger work done to it... they would have to send it back with the factory settings? Is that true?

Nope!
