From what I've read, and experienced, this is fairly common. The fix for me was a stronger spring. Trigger is amazing, and it breaks right at 2 pounds. I love it.
Stronger striker spring?

I have a bit of an odd occurrence. I have several M&P’s. Around 7-8 maybe more. Anyway, most if not all have the Apex triggers. I recently bought 3 new M&P 2.0’s. One 4” compact, one 4.25” full size, and one 5” full size. All 3 got the exact same trigger system from Apex. The two full size guns have been 100% so far to about 2k rounds. The Compact was good for a few hundred and began to light strike. It will pop Federal primers all day but will light strike on the others. I’m not sure what could be the difference? Same guns, same trigger, same installation. Two of them will run, one not so much.
Called Apex, they sent me a new sear. Still didn’t change anything. Called them again and they’re saying my trigger bar might be out of spec and that I would need to order a new one.
Anyone experienced anything like this before? Any thoughts as to what the issue might be?

I have a new in the package Limited magwell from Speed Shooters if anyone is interested. I shoot CO so I have no need for it. I never even installed it.

Just curious, does the slide close easily with the apex barrel in the 2.0? Or does it need a little push to close it completely if you rack the slide in slowly?
I wasn't getting great groups in my 1.0 with the apex barrel and it closed without any resistance. I replaced the front locking block and now it feels much tighter and the resistance I expected is there now. Haven't been able to get to the range to confirm any improvement yet, though.
Haven’t tried an Apex barrel in my 2.0’s yet but I do have a couple of them in my 1.0’s and both are exactly like you described. If you close the slide slowly you’ll have to give the slide a slight push to get it back into battery. It’s never bothered me since that doesn’t happen during action. All of my Apex barrels have been money! I’m not as big of a fan as most of their triggers, but I dig the barrels!

Just ordered a 5” Tungsten this past weekend. Interested to see how it compares to my stainless guide rod.

I too have been shooting M&P’s for some time now. While I’ve owned about all of the brands at some point, I always go back to the M&P. I have extremely large and fat hands. For that reason alone, I prefer the 1.0 Frame simply because of the beaver tail. Slide bite sucks!
I have three 2.0’s and they all have the Apex flat triggers. Really nice guns, but I still prefer the 1.0. Just wish I had a few more of them!

AO1 LD Review
in CZ
So the A01-LD will be the new hotness in CO?
-
Thanks guys! I ordered it today. Hopefully I have as much luck with it as you all have.

Any of you guys running the Foxtrot Mike FM9? Curious if they are reliable enough for PCC. I am looking for an AR style platform mainly just to get better at shooting a carbine type gun. I would rather spend my time shooting than clearing malfunctions though.
Please share your experiences if you have any with the FM9. Thanks in advance
-
Was able to handle an A01 at the LGS yesterday. By far the smoothest CZ I’ve ever felt out of the box. If I shot Production, it would have left with me. It almost did anyway!

I have an extra SP-01 that I’m looking to convert to SAO. Mainly looking to shoot it in Limited division of Falling Steel and some outlaw 2 gun matches. I wanted to see what you all had done with your SAO conversions. I know CZC and CGW both make SA triggers but what else have you done in addition to the SA trigger that you’ve noticed a benefit from? Swap out the hammer for one of the race hammers? Etc.
Also, who makes the best magwell for the CZ75 frames? Would rather buy the one that requires the least amount of blending.
-
Interesting to hear that it wouldn’t make weight despite you telling them what your intended purpose was. CGW was able to get mine to 44.5 oz with a DPP and leaving the protective shroud in place. That’s also using MG 17 round mags and CZC base pads. Could likely drop it a bit more if I were to swap the mag bodies and extensions.

I was simply sharing something that I ran across on the web. Didn’t mean to cause a storm..
-
I like the idea of having a more defined wall in SA.

It looks great! I love the aero receivers and hand guards.
Thanks man. Enjoying it so far!
-
Got it all put together. It has ran great so far and shoots extremely soft!
-
Just ordered some 135gr to try. I like the color!
-
Palm swell bogies on all of my CZ’s. Won’t use any other grip!

That must why it was named, "Can You Count?"
Yep! Because I obviously can’t! Lol

Had one friend who continually did the same thing every time he shot this classifier...the solution? He downloaded his mags to 5 rounds each. Sure, he shot a bit slower...but he didn't get any penalties.
Haha. Funny you say that as I did the exact same thing last time! It wasn’t a blazing run, but it was better than 4 PE!

Looks pretty dang cool to me!

Red Hill Tactical is a great option as well. He has tons of options that you can choose from.

I don’t have a 5” 2.0 but have a few 4.25” and the 2.0 Compact. I much prefer my two 5” 1.0 Pro over any of the others.

I've had a DPP and currently have the 507. The DPP has a larger window, but dot brightness is similar. The 507 is very tough based on the testing I have seen. The circle dot can be nice to have. Battery life is practically forever.
Purely for competition I think the DPP is better, but for carry I will take the 507.
I also own a couple of both. I will second this statement.
M&P Spec Series?
in S&W (M&P, etc)

My black 5” was a Performance Center gun but didn’t have a ported barrel. It came with a nice cleaning kit.
