M&P 45 with Trigger Issues

[Tim Enyeart]

I have a M&P 45 with a low round count. The trigger in the early stages feels like it is catching on something while being pulled. The last half of the pull is too firm and needs to be lightened. Any suggestions for a fix without replacement?

That's how M&P triggers are. David at Bowie tactical will do a nice job on your factory trigger. Make it smooth, decreases the reset. Google it.

Striker block plunger could have some gunk find it's way up in there.

I probably should have added, when I remove the slide everything operates smoothly.

Call S&W and talk to them better just to be safe.

Cheapest/easiest fix is an Apex USB. It doesn't change any trigger or sear components, only the striker block plunger and spring, and it dramatically smooths the trigger pull.

Second for Apex parts. I also agree that calling S&W is a good idea before making any changes.

Thanks, the tutorial looked to be pretty simple.

I just looked at their website and they listed a different reasonable options. Thanks!

Firing pin safety is more than likely the culprit. that's what was wrong with mine and little tinkering fixed it.

Sell the M&P and buy a Glock.

Problem solved

Contact S&W about it.

I had problems with false trigger reset and dead trigger/sear flutter. They ended up fixing it up perfect, and replaced my barrel for some odd reason...

But hey, my groups got tighter and my trigger is amazing now.

I have a Apex metal trigger in my M&P 40, and I absolutely love the way it feels and the way the guns shoots!

I appreciate everyone's input including weapons of choice. FYI, I do have a Glock 17, 22, H&K USP, and a Shield 9 to go along with the M&P which I got for a good price. I am confident with some tweaking I will enjoy owning it for a long time.
