Sweet.
At that price I'm guessing it is too much to ask if it has night sights? I purchased the Apex DCAE kits and RAM's for both of my M&P's and didn't install them for about 7-8 months because I could hit things just fine with the gritty factory triggers. But once I installed the kit into the first one....

nice score. I just picked up my M&P tonight but it ended up costing me $523 OTD. After I shoot it a bit to make sure it won't have the accuracy issues I'm going to put a DCAEK kit in it and some TFO sights. I will say that out of all the poly pistols I've handled this one fits me the best, hopefully it shoots as good.

Wow! I thought these were good guns according to the fan boys. Apparently it takes quite a bit of interpersonal persuasion and aftermarket parts to convince oneself that this gun is lukewarm milk-toast.

Dang the LGS have new ones for $500 they had another used one for $420 probably could have gotten that at $400 |

What apex upgrade do you recommend? The DCAE Kit and RAM is the minimum (if the RAM works with your gun... gotta check with Apex and let them know what year M&P you have.) But don't stick with my recommendation because I don't have experience with ALL of Apex's product. There are plenty of other members here who DO have experience with them though, so figure out what role you want the gun to perform and listen to those with the appropriate experience.

I have 3 5" Pro's: '09 9mm, '13 .40 and a '12 9mm CORE with a RDS. The Apex kit will make you happy, though I did use the stock 9 Pro trigger for 4 yrs. Sear flutter on the early gun from small plunger spring would sometimes not reset , AKA the dead trigger. Different sights have been tried for various vision issues, but the stock ones are pretty good. Sold my Glock's and Xd's and have been pleased with these guns. Perfect, nope. Ergonomically sound and GTG.
Shooting Steel Challenge tomorrow with my 9 pro/Apex Competition trigger group and 147 gr. LFP . I also have a .40 Compact that is my daily carry, accurate and comforting to have on my person. Bonus there is the 15 rnd full size mags are ready for use in this great shooter

The M&P is imperfect just like any other handgun. Take Glocks for instance: the horrid factory sites have to go and the grips severally lack in the ergonomics department. But you're still looking at the two best options in modern service pistols. |

If it is older, get the RAM too and get a decent trigger reset. I think you'll like the M&P. It's a dead nuts reliable, loosey-goosey, minute-of-badguy accurate duty gun. IMO it's the modern day incarnation of the original M1911 M1911A1 that the military ordered. Nothing fancy, just works |

But you're still looking at the two best options in modern service pistols. I fully agree with you. I have owned many M&P's and never found the need to install anything other than Night Sights. The trigger isn't stellar, but I wasn't using it for competition. If I did my part. I was able to shoot 17 rounds into a hole the size of a tennis ball at 7 yards. |

ETA: NICE STEAL OP! i wouldnt mind picking up a 9. |

Get an Apex hard sear and round/polish the striker block yourself. Do this before buying an entire spring kit which you may find unnecessary like I do. If it doesn't have the new slide stop, buy one here: http://www.gandrtactical.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=42427

At minimum get APEX striker block, RAM and Hard Sear. Maybe add the enhanced trigger and competition or carry spring kit.
Which barrel does it have? Are there any milled dots on the bottom side of the barrel block? regardless. Good score. |
