| I want one. My Shield 9mm needs a big brother but in order to get one I have to sell my FNX9. thoughts? Oh and If I did go for it should I spring extra for the VTAC 9mm? |
i have a full size m&p 9 i put the apex duty carry kit in it and it shoots amazing just get one with out the fancy safety features so you can put a ram in it easier. I have shot glocks and sigs and with the upgrades i think it is prob one of the best pistols made minus the three dot sights and its not a 1911

You should not spend extra for the VTAC. ... this spend extra for the APEX parts As sick as the VTAC looks, even one I've seen on the internet who has got one has had to send the gun back because the sights crapped out on them. Not sure if they ever fixed the problem. If you have the $$$ and like the FDE, than go for it but be aware you probably will have to replace the sights with something that actually works |

So no on the external thumb safety? Thumb safety is up to you. I like it - it's placed well and has a reasonably positive click to it. Others prefer the pistol without it. The pistol is well built, comfortable, comes with good sights, 17 round capacity, etc. - the only gripe I have with it is the stock trigger sucks. APEX parts (they have a bunch of different options) will fix that though. I've got the FSS kit in mine and it is very nice. |

RAM makes the reset very distinctive, DCAEK reduces the trigger pull weight and I think the over travel.
APEX Kit ... |

I prefer the non-safety version, the newer ones have a much better trigger and the Apex will only make it better. I like the stock trigger for the most part but I'm interested to try the DCAEK and seeing how it works.
I agree, the VTAC isn't worth it, upgrading the base model to be what you want is money better spent. |

I strongly encourage you to get the m&P 40 and add Apex parts and a 9mm barrel/mags. Right now (ball) 9mm is MORE than .40 in many places IF you can find it....I have had no trouble finding .40 to the tune of nearly 4000 rnds in the last month. I just don't like the 40 that much. And I have plenty of 9 stock piled. I will probably go for a basic 9 and get apex parts for it later |

I got the Apex sear and the trigger spring for my shield, than I did this.
I kept the original sear and did not modify the Apex sear. Trigger is awesome now. |
