Does anyone know where I can find a 5th generation sear housing assembly, slide stop lever, trigger bar, and striker assembly for a M&P 40? I would like to update the internals to improve the trigger. I know I could go with Apex parts and maybe I'm making a bigger deal out of it than I should but I would lie to stay with factory trigger parts.

is something wrong with your pistol now?
No it functions 100%. The trigger can be improved and thats my main goal.

I bought a new housing assembly at Midway about this time last year to upgrade the 2009/10 one in my M&P 9 compact. I don't know if it was gen 5 or not, but it had the larger sear spring.
With the apex duty kit, which I already had in the gun, it was a good improvement -- particularly with the larger sear spring. It actually bumped the trigger pull up a bit to about 5.5 pounds + from the mid 4's, which I like (too light for me before). I also bought a new full-size M&P in November of 2012 and replaced the trigger parts with an Apex duty kit. I thought it was an improvement, but I didn't give the factory trigger a ton of rounds to smooth out, either.
It looks like midway or speedshooter specialties have limited M&P stuff right now. Those two places or Brownells would be the first places I'd look. M&P stuff appears to be scarce right now (unless you want to just buy another one!).
Hope this helps, good luck.
I didn't even know there was a "5th gen" of M&P internals but I just wanted to acknowledge the above line. It always impresses me when people realize there's more to having a proper shooting gun -- and much more to having a proper self-defense weapon -- than getting the lightest trigger pull they can for pure shootability. Good on you, dude.Originally Posted by idahojess
Now I have to go kick myself for buying that 17# SIG hammer spring from Wolff.
Seriously, your post made me rethink my own priorities. Thank you.
Nah, the light mainspring is pretty important. I dry fire my stock SIGs occassionally just for kicks and quickly return them to the safe. It's no longer worth the effort to shoot with the normal DA weight.Now I have to go kick myself for buying that 17# SIG hammer spring from Wolff.
Thanks for your comments Todd. (Although I imagine your SIG modifications are well-thought out and will be just fine.)
Jess, I found the same thing with the Apex parts. I didn't care for the lighter pull weight. I have looked at SSS, Midway, and G&R Tactical and like you said parts are scarce.
Todd, I saw they are "5th gen" only because thats what G&R Tactical call's them. Maybe that is not the correct moniker.

Your trigger's fine! Keep shooting, trigger will get better. Save your money for ammo/reloading.
With 4k rounds through it I'm not sure how much better it will get. My only issue with it is the lack of rest. I have been working on not looking for the rest but still find myself short stroking the trigger after the false rest click from time to time.
