Is the key lock spacer needed on the m&p 9? Doesn't seem like it would do anything and I can't find it

Thank you for the options to try. Should swapping slides not be a factor. They used to sell OEM slides, so I assumed they were able to just drop in to a frame.

Swapping out slides seems to make things worse.

I have a few guns that seem to be setting off primers sufficiently, but unfortunately those slide are not optic ready.

I have several M&P 9s with the Apex both 1.0 and 2.0. I have one with the Timney Alpha. I prefer the Apex, but it seems the Alpha may be a little more consistent setting off primers. Even with Federal primers I get occasional light strikes with the Apex triggers. Are you all finding a difference in primer ignition, Apex 1.0 vs Apex 2.0 vs Timney Alpha? Or does this just very gun to gun? Before I needed an optic I shot 2011s and never had this problem.

My full size mags won't drop free from my 9c 2.0. The 15 rnd mags fly out. Is this normal?

Do you have it on a 2.0 compact? I assume it will work with full size magson the compact without any specific baseplates???

I need suggestions for a magwell for a M&P 2.0 9c. I was looking at Floyd's magwell, but it says not to remove it. I would like to be able to remove it and use it with standard 15rnd mags whenever I want to.

Norsso has a guide rod and 12 and 14lb recoil spring combo for $70, but I was hoping to just get a spring.

I am running a 135gr hollow point loaded with 3.3gr of CSB1 powder. It is a lite load. I have one P365xl that runs it just fine and one that doesn't.

I need a reduced power recoil spring for my p365xl. Where can I get one? Any recommendations on spring weight and where to get one is greatly appreciated.

Which attachment do you use/suggest? I generally prefer a medium drop (about 1 inch). I like the Blackhawk medium drop. It might line up properly to bolt on, but it might not.

I've done 3 of these semi fit Apex M&P barrels. I'm happy with the first 2. The accuracy is very good on them. On the 3rd one I think I was starting to figure out the fitting process a little better. It is more accurate than any of my 3 custom 6 inch 2011 guns.

I need suggestions for a uspsa holster for my 5 inch M&P with a TLR1 attached. Hopefully one I can get inside of 2 weeks. Thank you

Looking to get a PCC trigger recommendation. This will not be a competition gun. Reliability being the 1st priority Price 2nd Trigger pull 3rd, but something better than a mil spec trigger pull. It will be used in a QC 10 GSF lower.

Sifting through the suggestions. Are any of these not recommended with coated bullets?

Looking for recommendations for my next powder. I am running out of a lot of CSB1 powder I purchased years ago. I have been very happy with it for 9mm. My normal bullet is a 135 coated Bear Creek. I'm looking for soft, clean, accurate, and low smoke with coated bullets. I have tried Titegroup, WST, WSF, and Accurate #2. I prefer the CSB1 to all of them for various reasons. Titegroup is louder and snappier. WSF and AA2 are dirtier. WSF is a bit too temp sensitive for my liking. Any suggestions?

With the QC 10 Colt lower, can you run the mags as a monopod and still get ultra reliability? I have a bunch of high quality metalform Colt mags.

I have a 40 cal pcc I pieced together with QC10 components. I used a Glock large frame lower and 10mm mags. It runs flawlessly and the Lrbo works great with SGM mags not Glock OEM mags. Works 100 percent with all bullet types including HP. I want to build a 9mm with Colt style mags. If I use QC10 components is it likely to be ultra reliable like my 40 build? Or should I try a different magazine platform?

In another thread it says Clean Shot and Accurate no 2 are the same powder. Is this correct?

I'm looking for powder suggestions for 9mm. I run bear creek coated 135s(actually weigh 140gr). My wish list for the powder is, low smoke with the coated bullets, accurate, clean, low recoil(reasonably fast powder), and I would like to be able to make at least 130 pf from a 4.7 inch barrel. I have been using CSB1, but can't get it anymore. I am considering Ramshot competition, American select, Accurate no 2, WST, WSF. Silhouette. What does everyone like for a heavier coated bullets?

I was thinking about trying Ramshot competition with a coated 140 gr bullet for minor. Why are you getting away from it?

I agree with the 135 Bear Creeks. They actually weigh 140 on my scale. Coating and price is very good. If you aren't running a comped gun the heavier bullets shoot softer with power factor being equal.

What brand rifle primer?

I have tried these in a 3 different M&Ps. All 3 have improved striker power. 2 of the 3 now set off small rifle primers with decent enough consistency for practice.
