How many of you are shooting your M&P with a stock trigger vs. having a trigger job done ?

 

[Ruprex]

Self done trigger job based on Dan B's wonderful info. I like it. I'm gonna do it again as it's still a bit much for me.

 

[mrlysle]

I don't think there's any comparison between the two. I did my own trigger job and what a difference!

The stock trigger is definitely livable.



I've had mine modified to my personal specs. Read here if you care. 8)

I find the stock trigger ok. Ilike the trigger job because it makes it 'crisper'( for lack of a better word). I could be content with either. My full size has a trigger jobmy compact doesn't

 

[ske1eter]

I thought about sending the gun in for Dan's trigger job. The last time out shooting while practicing from the holster doing some Mozambique drills, I didn't really notice the shortcoming in the trigger. A bit crisper reset might be nice so I may work on the trigger myself when more parts become available, just in case I mess up.

I have the stock trigger in both my 9 and 40 compacts. I feel after a few hundred live and dry fires, the triggers really smoothed out a bit. I do a lot of double action revolver shooting so actually the trigger didn't feel that bad out of the box.

Todd...I care, I really do. I’ll read it.

Out of the box, the trigger was okay, but not fantastic for me. I was seriously thinking of sending the pistol to Dan for a minimal trigger job.



However, after shooting and dry firing the piece a bit, the trigger has improved enormously over my initial impression of it (or maybe I'm just getting used to it?). At this point, I don't know if I want to bother modifying it anymore. Its really entirely adequate, and for a carry piece I don't want it getting too light.



And a note regarding the reset: Maybe I'm just one of the lucky few who's M&P came this way... but I can't imagine the reset becoming any more positive. After firing the weapon, if I let off the trigger just a bit, there is a crisp "click" and there it is. I'm not sure what could be done to improve that aspect of the trigger (at least on my copy).

I polished everything in my 9MM and left my .40 alone. I made no attempt to reduce poundage, just wanted to see if it would be any smoother. It was probably improved a little but not a great deal. I quite frankly liked both triggers as delivered. After 5000 + rounds through both I can't tell which is in my hand without looking. They are both smooth enough for me.



:twisted:

Did my trigger from Dan B's step-by-step post.

Trigger Job

I had Mike LaRocca in Worcester, Ma. get rid of the godawful mass. trigger and work his magic.

Trigger is much better. I have a full size 40.

 

[sholling]

I actually liked the stock trigger on my 9c, but the 45's trigger was a bear and something had to be done. I sent both to Dan for the standard Burwell trigger job and I'm very pleased. I had both matched as close as possible at 4-1/2lbs. I think that the stock 9mm trigger with just a tiny bit of smoothing it about the perfect self/home defense trigger that and most people would be best off just leaving well enough alone or just having it smoothed without reducing weight.

 

[MADMAX22]

I did a medium job on my 40 I guess you could say. I did the trigger job but only took it down to around 5# maybe 4.5. Gotta get it tested. The main thing I did was get a nice smooth trigger pull now. Everything about it is just smoother and nicer to operate.



I also did my girls 9c but didnt do anything to reduce the trigger pull. I just smoothed everything up a bit to make it more smooth and less jerky. Kind of like artifically breaking it in I guess you could say.

 

[TAC]

The stock triggers on my 45 & 9C were so nice!

 

[Jeff 9mm M&P]

Did the trigger job myself.



Accuracy was terrible for me with this pistol prior to the trigger job. Now I like this pistol.

 

[DM-SC]

Did the trigger work per Dan B's instructions. I didn't TRY too hard to lower the pull weight, though it measures 4# even on my RCBS scale. I still need to remove the rear sight and radius/polish the FP plunger.



I almost hope I never get to feel one of Dan's REAL trigger jobs...that way I never have to know just how BAD a job I did on mine! :wink:

 

[MADMAX22]

Well since I have done the trigger job, not to extreme a little off on the weight and smoothed itout alot I have put around 500 rounds thru her and no issues except with some bad reload ammo I had. For some reason with that stuff I would get lite strikes all the time. CHanged out the ammo and not everything runs great.



The girlfriend and I were at the range and she shot it for the first time since I did the trigger job and says she loves how it shoots now. She didnt like it before but not I couldnt get it away from her lol.

I didn't care for the stock triggers on my M&P 9mm and .45acp, and the factory trigger contour tended to abrade my trigger finger pad. I reshaped the lower portion of the triggers to straighten them out (just a little) and smoothen, then followed Dan's great guide. Drastically improved now - I'm a happy camper!
