I'm just givin ya hell buddy.  Actually your list is great.  I'd also keep a couple extra trigger return springs and the slave pins on hand as well as an allen wrench to readjust the rear sight if absolutely necessary.

Busy getting ready to release the Forward Set Sear and Triggers and getting the J-Frame kits out the door.  We're running around like heads with our chickens cut off.

Ideally, yea the best spare parts are a complete collection of parts assembled into another working firearm

This is one are though I want to concentrate on this year, I am not going to purchace any firearms this year and buy mags, spare parts for what I have, and of course ammo.

Dog1, do you have any idea about what a total would be in cost for the spares you listed, and would smith be the cheapest place to order, or would brownells or midway be cheaper?

Thanks!

I have bought every spare part for my M&P's from Speed Shooter Specialties.  I have around a $120 bucks so far in spare parts that should take care of whatever breaks.  I have found that these guys have more stuff in stock than Brownells or MidwayUSA and have better prices.  Just my .02cents

Thanks for the info. Other than the mossberg lever 30-30 I bought in january, I am not going to buy any guns this year. I do plan to buy spare parts, mags and ammo as I can though.

That's an interesting list, and seems pretty comprehensive. I note that you do not include the coil pins that hold the sear block and locking block in the frame. Is that an omission, or have you never needed to replace one? Just asking. I just got my M&P9 FS, have less than 500 rounds through it, but have taken it apart once just to see the insides. I cleaned what little there was to clean, but there wasn't much. On another forum they seem to be big on having those pins on hand, and the one the extractor pivots on, so I wonder what your thoughts are.

Big +1 on having extra mag followers.  I've had 4 break on me

How about roll pins?  I am going to attempt a DCAEK & RAM install.  Do folks tend to bugger up the roll pins installing those 2 upgrades?

I would get an extra break down tool, with a little bit of use the little plastic piece holding it in place can break off. Learned this one the hard way

You can take the gun apart by dry firing it.

That's incredible.  Is the Shield your main training-class or match gun then?

I'm seeing guide rod/recoil spring assembly replacement recommendations ranging from 5k-50k live rounds.

Spring test seems to be:

* lock slide to rear on empty and safe gun
* holding vertically, release the slide stop
* observe slide going into battery with positive force to stay in battery
* if slide bounces out of battery slightly, replace recoil spring

I haven't had to replace anything yet on:

Full size M&P .40
M&P 9C
M&P Shield 9mm

Where do y'all purchase these parts?

I bought a spare factory striker, Brl, rsa, ejector, locking block, slide lock lever, trigger bar, various pins and an Apex extractor.

Couldn’t find the factory extractor for the gen1 MP9c at midway or Brownells

Add the little dog leg spring that holds the takedown lever in place. It's tiny and easily lost. Ask me how I know that!😂

@Gunjunki

Where'd ya get that spring?

I got all my spares from Speed Shooters Specialties, but that was years ago and they've been acquired by Project Guns.
