Im also curious if there is a S&W certified gunsmith I could use locally instead of shipping out in the mail to them directly. I want to keep the warranty and not void it by using someone other than S&W.
I would also like to have a trigger job done on my m&p9, but without mailing, or doing it myself and messing up the warranty.

agreed

I understand that certain gunsmiths are sig sauer armorers and can do work on a sig while keeping the warranty good. Wondering if S&W is similar or if if has to be shipped?

gritty trigger? or something else?

I'd suggest the Apex DCAEK. I have installed several and they are excellent.

Search for burwell. Aside from apex, its the way to go for a trigger job

Doing it myself won't void the warranty? Hell I'll just do it myself if that is the case. I'll take another look at the owners manual and see if it specifies this anywhere or maybe I'll just call S&W, I hear their customer service rocks.

I thought I had read somewhere it would void the warranty.

I'm not familiar with their warranty, but I work for a manufacturer and if we get aftermarket parts in a gun that's malfunctioning we'll put the factory stuff in and return the aftermarket parts to the customer.

Doing it yourself is easy, the hardest part is removing the rear sight to replace the striker block and spring, a vise really helps. It's a straightforward install.

As a gunsmith I usually prefer to use quality aftermarket parts rather than modifying factory parts.

The Apex kits actually change the geometry of the sear & striker relationship resulting in a smooth, consistent pull with very little over travel. The over travel is what most people take issue with on the M&P, and their sear is also polished to remove most if not all grittiness.

They are worth the money and I've never had an issue with their parts, they are consistent and of good quality. I don't care who you are, modifying factory parts always has at least a slight bit of fudge factor. There is no guarantee it will hold up which is why I don't do such work.

+1, second to none when it comes to the M&P. Turn around is pretty quick once your appointment date comes up.

Couldn't agree more. I have about 3500 rounds on my Apex trigger and love it.

I too will recommend the APEX line of upgrades, it has done wonders for my SD40

 

[Scott4]

Yes to the APEX DCAEK. Just installed in my own m&p, it's not too difficult with the right tools and patience : )

 

[SneakySh0rty]

I too have the APEX DCAEK in my m&p. absolutely love it. BUT for kicks and giggles I decided to inspect where the grit was coming from. Like many, my grit was coming from a burr in the striker safety hole. The plunger would scrape against it as the plunger was depressed.

I took a small diamond file to the burr, popped in the old kit and didnt have the gritty trigger. But in the end I put in the DCAEK cause I liked the added pull and the polymer trigger. I used a jewelers file, found the burr, and slowly removed it checking my progress once in awhile. I'd put the plunger in to test it just to make sure I wasnt removing too much material at a time.

I tried to rent someones MGW sight removal tool, but no one would let me borrow it. So. I bought my own. Now I can change out my sight safely without a visit to a gunsmith.

If you just want to get rid of the grit, take off rear sight and look down to see if you can see the burr. If you want to fix the slop and other issues, spend the money on the Apex kit.

sounds like APEX DCAEK is unanimous, thanks for the advice all

Forgive the brief Hijack, but will this work on an M&P shield?

Yes. Just make sure you purchase the kit for the shield version.

Thanks. Looks like some gunsmithing is required.
