I really recommend the Duty/carry kit, and the AEK polymer trigger. The polymer trigger looks better and is way cheaper. An aluminum trigger just looks like an aluminum trigger in a polymer gun, save the cash and get the polymer haha. I seriously believe S&W should be selling these guns like this already. With all my upgrades, it really is much more accurate, and kicks the ass of my friend's glock 22 and 23.

Randy at APEX Tactical has really hit the ball out of the park when it comes the the whole M&P line with his upgrades.
Now with S&W making some changes to barrel twist (9mm 1:18 to 1:10) and some changes to the sear, and slide lock lever the factory M&P's are almost perfect for what they are.
Wish we had a shop around here that would do all those installs for those costs.

I got really lucky here, the other local store wanted 180 for the APEX duty kit install, and I didn't even want to ask how much for the trigger. They charged me a little more on the trigger because their distributor doesn't carry it yet and they had to order from brownells, but still, i paid less than $150 for both things

The installs are really easy. It took me about 20 minutes.

The hardest part for me (in doing any modification) was convincing myself that the pistol is much tougher than it looks, and it can handle a bit of ham-fisted tinkering.

That sucks. I wish I could send you some of my reloads. I never shoot my AR anymore so I'm basically stockpiling. I'll build a 100 or so every once in a while. My recipe costs $.24 per round and $.31 per round if you include brass. Doesn't save a ton but I can have them anytime I want. We're starting to see more .223 on the shelves up here. Not a ton of the cheap factory reloaded stuff I shot pre sandy hook but it's getting better. The last time I was in the guns store they had 1000 round cases of 9mm, 40SW, and .223. I thought about the 9mm because the price was decent at $250.

well, going to start trying out appendix carry this week. Been loosing weight, and have more to go, but i have a MP9c and a MP Shield that give me great options to try it out.

I am definitely a fan of appendix carry. Everything in front of you for (IMHO) the best control.

Tried it a couple times with a PF9 and Remora holster but couldn't get used to it. Digs too much when sitting.

same here, no real shortage of ammo, seeing 100 round packs of .45 for 38 bucks at wal-marts too, which is great as i have been running my 1911 a lot lately.

Send some .22 ammo this way! I still haven't seen any .22 ammo on store shelves since last September.
Not that I don't still have a decent supply, but I always like to be adding more than I'm shooting.
The other ammo I'm having trouble finding are my trusty Remington Core Lokt's in 150 grain .308. I've got enough for hunting season, but definitely would like to have another box or two on hand.

I've been surprised at the lack of .308 vs. a lot 30-06 myself. Is it normal to see 3x the choices and qty in 30-06 compared to .308? I've only been paying attention in the last year, so maybe this is the norm based on hunting demand.

Yes it's normal. 30-06 has been one of the most popular sporting rounds for a century. It may be slightly more versatile than the .308 and it has more options. Few load the heaviest bullets in the .308 as they perform a little better in 30-06 cases. .308 rifles with high-powered scopes and long barrels that can double as varmint guns are less common than in 30-06, so their just is less demand for as much variety in the .308.

yeah 22lr is tough and so is 9mm but the rest is rebounding nicely as long as all these idiots stop shooting up airports and stuff

well. virginia has now fallen. as of yesterday it was a gold star gun state with full preemption across the board.
today we have an anti 2nd amendment governor sitting in office.
to all concerned. i regret to inform you that all of my guns and ammunition met a tragic and untimely demise when my rowboat capsized in a tsunami and caught fire right before sinking from the tidal wave. i miraculously survived the ordeal unscathed but not my bare arms.
so please dont knock on my door looking for any weapons unless you want to confiscate my tsa approved nail cutters
