You're right, my P99's trigger is about as good as any of my firearms. What I can't get past is the fact that a new M&P is going for the price I paid for my P99 used at FS a year ago. I definitely want to try one out.

I hope the 9 will be out soon and not 6 months from now. I put some $$ on a 9mm Saturday.

shepherd, i think these guys know what they'r doing
they just coulnd't get the little key out of the magwell
they even read the manual, i asked
the manual said to turn the little (technical terms now) thingy,
a 1/4 turn, they said it felt like it was going to break,

I dry fired one today
That trigger sucks big time. I think I've changed my mind on the M & P

It was in a MA gun store
so I assume it is the MA trigger. It not only was a tough pull it felt like it was grinding metal on metal

News Shooter,
What is it about the trigger that you don't like? Is it too heavy for your liking? Doesn't break cleanly? Long reset?
Do tell.
Yikes! Why couldn't you get it back together?

In truth I will just take it to a Smith for a full on trigger job anways. Still cheaper than a new 1911 or Sig.

"The Smith & Wesson M & P is one of the easiest guns ever to do trigger work on."
They obviously don't know me

I have 2 M&Ps. One if 40S&W other in 9MM. Trigger work was done in PA by Burwell Gunsmithing.
He lightens the trigger to the 4.5# I request, smooths the action, and adjusts the reset to make it shoirt and sweet. His cost of a trigger job for carry/duty is $50.
The cost is a little deceiving. The shipping both ways runs about $85 so that brings the job to $130. Still a bargain at that price for the work and the service.
I will get my 9MM back tomorrow and it will be set up exactly like the 40 both in function and it will have the same Dawson sights. Now, if you want to compare service to anyone else, Dan got my 9MM last Friday and I get it back tomorrow. Not a bad turn around.
If you want to try to do the trigger job yourself, I have posted a link in other places on this forum for the trigger job. I work on a lot of guns but I did not want to do this myself as I plan to carry and compete with these.
For Dan's web site see BURWELL
Tell him Gary from MA sent you. I am a happy customer and a repeat offender![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")

It just sucks that SW has to change a good weapon with a nice trigger to a MA. one with a shitty trigger you have to change it out.

Neither of mine had the MA trigger.
Thanks
I don't own an M & P. I was referring to my general ineptness when it comes to mechanics. Whatever I try to do turns into a train wreck

The whole sear hosuing can be replaced with one pin. In and out... now all we have to do is wait for Brownells to get the parts in... Just think that the trigger will make you a better shooter. If you can accurately shoot w/ a 10lb trigger, 3-4 will be a breeze.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

No place seems to have any M&P in right now 9mm or 40sw.
Mike Wheelock of Tite Group Sporting in Northboro can get both models from his local distributor. Call him at 598 393-8558. Feel free to mention my name.

Good tip from Darius
I went over today and picked up the M & P 9mm (or put a deposit on it)
He only has two left

FedEx came knocking this morning with the return of my M&P from Burwell.
First let me thank Round Gun Shooter for the reccomendation, and of course Dan Burwell for outstanding customer service and fast turnaround.
The trigger is CRISP & LIGHT, and the reset is SHORT ........... it is a 1000% improvement over the stock configuration.
I can't wait to get it to the range.

You are welcome.
![[grin]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/041.gif "Grin [grin]")
Before you head to the range, do some dry fire with it. I found getting the feel of that reset made a difference. Amazing what he does isn't it?Regards,
I am now the proud owner
of a M & P 9mm with standard trigger!!
