[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Talk to me about upgrading my M&P9FS

Posted: 9/29/2014 5:18:21 PM EDT

Here are my thoughts:

Aluminum FSS kit and RAM
10-8 rear and front FO sights

I'm also looking at bbls but not sure which direction to go. I'm not sure that the bbl in mine is all that accurate and I'd like to find a bbl that corrects that issue.

As for the FSS/RAM, I know I need to make sure I have the newer sear housing assembly. Is there a way to check this externally without removing the whole assembly?

Anything I'm missing?

I don't believe there are any external differences, you have to remove the sear from the housing to see the plunger/spring. In order to get the sear pin out, the housing must be lifted at least partially out of the frame.

I ended up not ordering the Sear housing. I found the shell casing that came with it marked 10/2011 so I rolled the dice that it's late enough in 2011 to not be an issue.

Still trying to find a good deal on an aftermarket bbl.

How about trying out one of those Wilson Combat barrels and doing a report on them for us here?

As mentioned above, the only way to know if your sear housing is compatible is by removing the sear to check the size of the sear pin/spring which requires the sear housing to be removed from the frame. The updated sear pin/spring is about 1/8" wide.

Check out KKM for new barrels.

This, KKM is the way to go. I have KKM's in all of my M&P's including a duty weapon and love it.

I've been hearing a lot good about them.

Personally I like guns that make me the weak link, and I just don't get that from my gun as it stands.

Glad to hear this as I ordered a KKM today for my FS9 w/ FSS and Poly trigger.

Did you get the RAM too?

I have an aluminum FSS kit with RAM, and the reset feels very 1911-like.

What would you compare the pull to?

I worked on the P320 project and it has an amazing trigger, and I've heard this better.

Best striker fired trigger available. Short takeup, smooth break, and short reset. Kinda like a stretched out 1911 trigger pull.

Sorry, I could have worded that better. All I meant is that I ordered the barrel. The gun already has the FSS and RAM. I had a DCAEK kit in it but that resides in a little plastic bag until I decide what to do with it.

Ha, I have a DCAEK kit residing in a little plastic bag as well.

Depending on the use, my M&P triggers are either stock, sear drop-in only, or full blown FSS kit. I didn't care for the other Apex kits.

Here it is so far

The FSS instal was pretty simple. The only issue I had was I felt they skimmed some steps in their instruction video.

That and lining up the trigger bar and pin

That was a complete PITA.

Nice, and I'd agree. Lining up the trigger bar and pin did suck
