OK, I've put these kits in all of my M&P's including two .45's, a full size and compact, and a .40 full size and compact, they work great and I'm a satisfied customer.
So here comes my brand new 9mm M&P Shield... I got the Apex kit in and everything went according to plan...sort of....
On the M&P pistols in order to replace the striker block (called the plunger on a Glock) you must partially drift out the rear sight, this went well on the other 4 M&P's that I own, but the sight on the Shield just won't budge and I basically buggered up a brass punch real bad trying, the damn thing just won't move, and I don't want to try using a steel punch which is sure to F*** up the slide and rear sight.
It's not that big of a deal really, the other parts made a big difference in the pull weight, and brought it down from around 7 to about 5 lbs. or a bit less, and I can live with that, but if anyone has any suggestions that would allow me to drift out the rear sight without using Blunt Force Trauma, I'd sincerely appreciate hearing them. Thanks!
