Forgot to ask in my question the M&P package will pretty much fix it up find with the MA complaint handgun. Thanks

Hey Todd, silly question but if I purchase the MA complaint M&P hand gun then it would already have the MA complaint trigger bar and spring installed correct? then I would just need to get the Performance sear install right?

G19 4th Generation should be the next test. So many problems have been reported we need to see an independent test if its really as good as you say.

SeanG — Last I knew, Smith was not selling the necessary parts. The S&W Performance Center will utilize those parts when performing a trigger job, however, if requested.

Todd,
Thanks for that very quick response. I take it I’d have to ship the M&P back to Smith for this change or any reputable Smith armorer could get the parts and install them.

SeanG — Yes, it’s the same concept. The M&P still won’t have as positive a reset as the Glock, though.

Todd, Would it put the PC+MA ‘upgrade’ in the same class as a Glock with a NY1 trigger? From what I’ve witnessed with my Glock 22 with the NY1 trigger is that it has more resistance in the trigger press but makes the trigger reset quicker and more positive.

Thank you
Sean

Todd, Where can a guy get the MA compliant trigger bar and spring?

S&W says “factory installed only.”

Thanks

Mike B — It’s actually the MA-compliant trigger bar and trigger spring, which are different parts than the standard ones. They’re used in the gun to meet Massachusetts’ product liability laws, and increase the trigger pull. The Performance Center sear is just a different sear that S&W puts in the M&P9 Pro, it reduces the trigger pull and makes the reset more positive. The combination of the MA trigger bar/spring and PC sear is my personal preference.

Pepper — The combo I’m using gives a very strong, forceful trigger reset and more resistance in the trigger pull during the take-up, so in that respect it’s much closer to a DA revolver trigger. Bowie can, if you want, use the MA-compliant trigger bar & spring in conjunction with his normal action job to achieve basically the same results as I’m getting with the PC sear. In fact, Bowie can probably fine tune your trigger pull weight a little higher or lower based on exactly how he works the sear during the trigger job.

Todd,

Just sent my M&P9 off to David Bowie for a trigger job, but now you have me thinking that I might want to go with the PC+MA setup. I’m an old wheel gun man. How does this setup compare with a good double-action revolver trigger?

Thanks
