    I've seen them on the usual auction sites but you might have luck finding one on the S&W Forum. I don't recall it being a difficult install and I don't recall if there's different kits for different frame sizes. I think my friend Mr Google had the specifics.

    I'm not really a M&P fan, but damn that's really hard to ignore at that price....

    I have seen posts here referring to M&P line as the poor mans Wilson EDC. Never sure if that was meant to be sarcastic or if the trigger can be get close to a 1911?

    Not sure, but I think it was meant referring to a .45 ACP pistol that is accurate and runs with no drama. I wouldn't want a striker-fired gun with a 1911ish trigger unless it had a thumb safety, at least not as a carry gun.

    A consideration about getting one of the linked trade in guns is that NEW 2.0s seem to be out there for $409-$419. That just seems fantastic to me. I might be about to indirectly inherit a bunch of loaded 45 ammo from a source I trusted, I might be tempted. I have a 1.0 with Apex trigger, the 2.0 is still interesting to me.

    I never could get in the groove of the placement and have converted several of them the other direction and should have a few of these around...

    I've probably said it, though mostly tongue in cheek. A custom gun brings something undefinable to the table.

    Still...have you ever shot an M&P with an Apex FSS and flat trigger? Sure it's not a 1911 trigger (nothing is really), but it's a better trigger than the SA mode of most TDA guns. Mine is about 3.5 lbs, very little take-up and over travel. It really is a single action trigger. With a thumb safety and a KKM or Apex barrel and you'll be able to do everything a Wilson EDC can do. For way less money.

    The main caveat here is that the TS model sig 320s actually have a better safety and the triggers can also be tuned very well, but I have no experience with them.

    For me personally, sub 2 inch groups at 25 yards offhand is something doable with either of my dolled up M&Ps. That's really about the limit of my shooting ability tbh. A high level Bullseye shooter could probably do way better.

    And my super fancy slicked up M&P cost less than 700 bucks altogether. Gun was 279 used, barrel was another 200 (I fit it myself) and the Apex kit/trigger we'll be generous and round up to 200.

    I am already seeing cheap M&P 2.0s at the LGS - including the M&P 2.0 45s.

    Previous question - yes, with APEX parts you can make a very nice trigger on a M&P - and I think I get even better triggers on the 2.0s (very subjective).

    I got my 2.0 M&P45 for $388 shipped on a flash sale. Strong contender for best gun deal of my life.

    I've got the link - just got in a new RSA for my .45 mid-size from them - but they don't show them as in stock, at least that I could find.
