bought a new M&P Pro 9mm for IPSC shooting... very disappointed... trigger and sights are terrible... go figure, but Smith calls it a pro series... when pulling the trigger, it makes screeching sounds and moves jerkingly...

 

shooting from the bench - aiming at a bullseye positioned at 15 yards, bullet hits the target 5-6" below and a a bit on a left side from the aim point...

 

anyhow... i would much appreciate if somebody could recommend a good gunsmith...

Call up smith, their customer service is super awesome. I'de be astounded if they didnt do something for you (for free)

+1

 

Just call S&W

 

They will send a call tag for it...... 2 weeks, you will have it back

 

Edit:

 

Although the M&P triggers are not perfect out of the box..... if yours is actually making noise, then something is very wrong. The PRO trigger should be near perfect out of the box, falling somewhere between the stock "sometimes" gritty trigger and the APEX internals......

 

As far as the sights...... fix the trigger 1st, sights are fixable, and most likely you will be changing them anyway to a personal preference.

The factory trigger on my non-pro M&P never made any noise, and with Apex kit it just got better. As the others have said make the call and send it in. Keep us updated too.

Dan Burrwell. Maybe THE BEST M&P gunsmith. Google Burwell gunsmithing.

thank you all gentlemen... i will keep you posted...

 

 

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all!

Sort of off top , but relevant - If he sends his pistol off to smith for work, he needs to go through an ffl of course, but does he need a PPP for when he receives it back ?

No but if there was a frame change and number change that could come up. I think we did this before and will have to wait for the other who remember the details to chime in.

Nope..... FedEx or UPS 2 day is all that is needed back and forth..... no FFL or PPP required....

Huh?

Huh?

 

 

USPSA Production Class possible new rule.....

Correct.

 

Starting 2013, USPSA Production first trigger pull is 3 lbs.

 

to the OP... have you detail stripped the gun, cleaned and lubed it before shooting it?

 

Something just seems off, and in most cases, I lean the way of the indian, not the arrow.

Correct.

 

Starting 2013, USPSA Production first trigger pull is 3 lbs.

 

 

 

OK, so does anyone have a trigger pull gauge I could borrow? I have a feeling with the apex in mine it might be sub 3lb.

Yes Frank, I will bring mine.

 

Apex is between 2.5 and 3.5 lbs iirc.

Thanks Maks!
