Since I may be sending my MP 45 in to have night sights pressed in I looked at a trigger kit also. The MP is a great pistol but does have a long trigger pull. I was surprised to see the website for the trigger kit say not for service weapons or defensive weapons.

*For competition use only - NOT FOR DUTY/CARRY OR SELF-DEFENSE APPLICATIONS

************************************************


Any one have any idea why this is?
I am not going into competition and use the MP for range and home defense. I'm sure I will be using it more at the range then at home, but it is more important to me that it work well at home then at the range.
Would you do the upgrade if this was your gun?

Well do you like the trigger pull as it is? If so than I would leave it alone. If not, maybe give them a call and ask someone to clarify it. I would guess that for competition use it is set for a light and short pull?

I sure wouldn't!

The trigger is not crisp and short like the S&W 1911. I do OK with it at the range but I know it is not meant to be a target pistol. I guess my real reason for doing it is because the first thing anyone says about the MP is "bad trigger".
I'm wondering if the not for defense thing is just a cover your azz move by Apex

I think it's the evil lawyers doing the CYA Limbo. Too light/smooth a trigger pull can possibly cause an ND/AD in a high stress situation.

You shot the MP while I was up there. Would you do an upgrade?

[CA357]

Nope, I'd live with it. You're spoiled by the 1911 trigger The M&P is a different animal.

my ruger 10/22 and ruger mk2 both have light crisp triggers measured in ounces. i wouldnt use those triggers on a defensive gun. i like to have at least a crisp 3-4 pound trigger on my defensive guns. mainly due to the control factor while under stress 3-4 pounds is about right for me.

for the trigger job your looking at find out what the final poundage is on the pull then find a similar weight trigger to see how it feels to you.

if you were near me i would let ya try a few of my different gun triggers to see what poundage is preffered .

A good shoot is a good shoot. APEX is concerned about their own liability in the event of a bad shoot. ND into person + "competition trigger job" = very large liability issue. If you intended to pull the trigger and bad guy was shot, it really matters little how heavy the trigger was.
