  • Because it has no thumb safety if you ever intend on carrying it I don't know about lightning the trigger pull

    I'm not too worried about the trigger - feels pretty good to me. Firmer trigger is better for self defense, lighter better for the range - but I'm not a competitive shooter or anything.

    It's basically identical to the glock platform - which I'm already comfortable with so this gun is already pretty natural to me. Glocks are also only brain safety - save for the double action trigger.

  • Cysko is right, they came from the Sigmas that generally had a pretty atrocious reputation.

    I don't mind the SD line from S&W. The triggers are generally dookie but there are ways you can lighten it up and smooth it out (Google it; lots of people who did it all at home). But as far as being cheap and reliable, they accomplish both of those goals.

    I am pretty fond of the M&Ps but have a good amount of trigger time on an SD9VE.

    I did see that spring kit and the glock style trigger. I'll probably go with the trigger at least because I like the glock style much more than the hinge. I don't mind the heavier pull but I definitely wouldn't mind improving the travel.

  • You're gonna shoot your eye out.

  • I got Ruger sr22 to carry. Still small but you can actually grip it good enough to shoot straight.

  • I got about 200 shots through it today. I out tfo sights on it and they really helped me get back on target a lot quicker.

    Trigger sucks, I still had decent groupings but it definitely affected my accuracy. I have the apex trigger on order so once I install it I'll get back out and it should be a lot better.

    I don't know how the Apex is in the SD models but their triggers for the M&P are fantastic.

  • Put the new trigger on today - it's a world of difference. It doesn't take forever to break and reset - more accurate with it. Weight is still on the heavy side versus an M&P or a glock but I'm fine with that, just wanted the better trigger.

  • Glad that works better for you. I know the stock trigger on the SD9s are pretty atrocious.

    M&P triggers are pretty bad too - I really can't stand the hinge style at all.

    The way I see it I got a reliable gun for $310 (including trigger upgrade). I can't really complain - I wanted a G19 but this + 1000 rounds is about the same price.

    My buddy's nearly-new SR9 had 2 light strikes at the range in about 150 rounds, no failures with this so I can't complain.

    I can tolerate the stock M&P trigger but they have no audible or felt reset. That is why I went with the Apex trigger.

    I generally don't like Ruger products. They can be hit or miss and I am not particularly fond of Bill Ruger. He was a bit of a cocksucker actually.

    I think it's relevant. FNH has a manufacturing plant in SC I believe.
  • Oh yeah I forgot about that. So it was just more pandering from the "other brother" before his SC primary.

  • Yeah. He's been pretty good at that
