After more research, decided to go with a Timney two stage for my MPX. It’s made specifically for the MPX and has a bridge piece to protect the rear of the disconnector from being beat up similar to the factory trigger. Got it last night and popped it in this morning. Little annoying you have to remove the safety to remove the factory trigger, especially since the right side lever is attached with a roll pin instead of a set screw, but just a little more work and I had the right tools.
Trigger dropped right in and fit good in the receiver well. 4 lb total pull weight, without the grittiness of the factory trigger. Definitely an improvement over factory and it looks robust enough. This is my first drop in trigger and I’m wary about the hammer and trigger pins walking out since they aren’t locked with either a spring loaded pin or spring leg like the normal setup, but the Timney setup seems OK and the pins seem tight. We’ll see how it goes in the long run.
