Great Shipping. Great kit at any price but this kit is less expensive and easier to install then others. Trigger pull reduced to 3.8 lbs. which is the weight I prefer. This is a great product.
When I started my S&W 9mm Shield, the first version, was gritty and the trigger pull was a little over 6 lbs and gritty not crisp. Now I have an old fashion mechanical, non digital, gauge so exact is not constant. But I looked at the M&P Shield trigger kits on other websites and they were running $160-175 but included a polished striker safety, sear, and all new springs with an aluminum trigger. But for the $25 here I did it myself and saved a pretty penny and got to know my shield inside and out. With the detailed video Chris provides, the whole process only took a few hours and I now have a less than 3lb pull and the original trigger is as smooth as can be. I have not taken it to the range yet, but everything still functions properly and I had no extra parts...lol Anyway if you have the time, desire, and a little patience, anyone can do this. You will need the right tools first. The biggest pain was removing the rear sight, not the set screw but the actual sight itself. They make those suckers SUPER tight and even using a non marring brass tool, nylon tool, and a heavy hammer in a vice, was still a booger. Easier to put back in but next time I remove it, I will replace it with a better aftermarket hi-vis sight. Overall I am thrilled to death to have a crisp clean, mirror polished and no more sharp edges. GREAT PURCHASE and super fast shipping.
Just installed the M-Carbo Trigger Spring Kit on my Shield 1.0 40S&W. Easy job. Did not install the striker block spring unfortunately. Could not get my sight to shift. Another day. Sanded all parts as in the vid. No polishing. Much cleaner and smoother trigger. Went from a 5.65lb average TP over 10 cycles to 4.49 average TP over 10 cycles. Much more consistent. Thank you!!
Used a sight press and installed the Striker Block Spring. Now down to 3.77lbs average TP over 10 cycles. Amazing!! Super clean and crisp.
Parts was easy to install and trigger pull went from 8.5 to 4.2 ... Can’t ask for a better result, Great Kit.
Thanks MCARBO. Now my EDC Shield 45 has a nice, smooth trigger pull. Feels like a new pistol and it only took a lazy Sunday afternoon with your you tube video.
Bought the kit several months ago and it was my first purchase from MCarbo. Absolutely nothing to complain about. Got the kit in a couple days. As anyone knows M&Ps are a little labor intensive. Gotta remove the rear sight which the shield has the tightest dovetail ever. But the kit reduced the weight and feel significantly. Huge improvement. I hate the stupid hinge trigger so that will be going bye at some point. Love the products keep em coming!
It took me about a 1 1/2 hours to install and polish. I have only dry fired the trigger so far but, it feels much better with none of the gritty feeling. Looking forward to more accurate shooting with new springs. Very pleased!
I have purchased many various kits from M CARBO. My comments on the S&W Shield Trigger Kit. Initial trigger pull 5lbs 6oz. Cleaned and polished relevant parts per Chris's excellent video on the weapon. Fitted the M CARBO trigger upgrade parts. Final trigger pull 2lbs 12oz. Very pleased. Excellent product once again by M CARBO. Additional comments. In the video' Chris advised putting the synthetic grease w/PTFE all over the mechanism and various parts. In my humble opinion this is a mistake. After following this advice on a few of the various trigger mod kits from M CARBO i had to go back in and remove the grease and coat with CLP. Without doing so I could not achieve trigger pull as advertised. Point in question, i followed the video and trigger pull was 4lbs 1oz. I cleaned away the grease and applied CLP and got 2lbs 12oz. This is not meant as a criticism, rather my experience on the builds so far. FLITZ. I ran a profilometer over the polished parts and was pleased with the RMS values obtained. If FLITZ is in short supply i have used Blue Magic which is a metal polish cream available from auto stores with exactly the same results. It also leaves a protective coating on the parts. Hope this helps someone
Price was very good. Kit did just what it was designed to do. Trigger spring install tool could be rounded on one end to make it easier to push it out with trigger pin. Trigger is way better than before. Thanks and thanks for ur service.
After installing one in my shield I ordered one for my sons and it all went just as well. Makes the 1.0 trigger as good or better than the 2.0. I think better.
Only reason I gave it 4 stars was because I was getting light primer strikes with ball ammo. So I went back to the stock striker spring! End of story. 3.6 pound pull what's to complain about!
So, I already have the Apex kit and trigger installed. All I did was change the firing pin spring and polish the firing pin. Out of about 89 shots I got 2 light strikes so I changed the spring back to stock. Could be the mixed parts, not sure. It did feel really nice with those 2 changes.
I installed the kit and performed the polishing just as the video instructed. The work was not hard but took some time. well worth the time invested. 3 lbs off my trigger pull, tighter groups and accuracy. I couldn't be happier.
Excellent results.removing the rear sight was way more difficult than the video showed.was worth it though.i generally shoot he's and sits, and now it rates right up there with them.thanks for another great product.dan
Awsome kit well worth the money highly recommend 5++++ stars.. Fast delivery!! Ty..
