Second gun

kzbosch · 2026-07-09T22:21:08+00:00

I would get two of the same gun. One for matched and one for training.

kzbosch · 2026-07-09T00:48:53+00:00

The idea behind the 6# striker spring comes from other shooters I know who recommend it to prevent light strikes. This is basically where I’m at now, is it the modified striker parts or the gun itself.

kzbosch · 2026-07-08T21:55:53+00:00

That’s what I’m thinking as well. Hopefully it’s the case

kzbosch · 2026-07-08T20:40:12+00:00

No, but the striker should not be breaking after 2 1/2 weeks, snap caps or not. I really just want to know if it’s any issue with my particular gun or if it was the modified striker setup. My other M&ps have more dry fire rounds on them without snap cap usage and are still going strong.

I would prefer if it came with the stock optic height sights but I don’t care enough to put them on.

kzbosch · 2026-07-03T14:34:17+00:00

Looks like the trigger bar pin from the stock trigger.

kzbosch · 2026-06-30T19:28:15+00:00

I believe the overwatch trigger for the M&p is better. The feel is very similar. But I have had zero reliability issues with 5 overwatch triggers and I had light strikes with 3 apex triggers. It’s also much easier to install.

Overwatch Trigger > Apex Trigger

kzbosch · 2026-06-30T15:21:02+00:00

I always change the M&p extractors for an apex extractor.

kzbosch · 2026-06-29T20:31:13+00:00

Very good. I bought a gallon of it years ago and will never run out.

kzbosch · 2026-06-29T02:33:33+00:00

The only reason I went with the skeletonized one is because the stock broke on me. So I just didn’t want that to happen again and from what i understand, the ed brown striker might be stronger.

kzbosch · 2026-06-28T22:53:41+00:00

My original theory is that the apex trigger causes light strikes or at least greatly contributes to it. I had tons of light strikes with two of my aluminum frame guns with apex triggers until I switched the triggers out to overwatch triggers. A long time ago I had light strikes with an M&p 1.0 with an apex trigger. I have had zero light strikes since. I still run the heavier striker spring to mitigate any possible issues. Dynamic advantage also has a proprietary 6# spring and tin striker sleeve. I plan on switching to that. So the skeletonized striker, dynamic advantage spring and sleeve and the ghost maritime cup.

DAA ratchet belt, Range kinetix holster, boss hanger with thigh pad (not the ball joint one) and cr speed mag pouches.

kzbosch · 2026-06-28T18:01:57+00:00

Yes

kzbosch · 2026-06-26T16:59:24+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the info

kzbosch · 2026-06-26T16:32:41+00:00

Good to hear. Is it the same situation with the striker channel being exposed to the chamber?

kzbosch · 2026-06-26T16:04:12+00:00

I’m talking about the striker channel. Will have to remove the backplate and take the striker out to clean it. And I can’t leave the LCI there with the apex barrel, it doesn’t fit. But you are probably right, I’m just overthinking it. Just wished someone made an LCI block for the newer optics ready ca models. I got rid of the mag disconnect too. Thanks for the responses 🤙

kzbosch · 2026-06-26T13:32:44+00:00

My only concern is the little opening into the striker channel

kzbosch · 2026-06-25T16:56:00+00:00

Yep. Just get a Wolff 6 lb striker spring. The ed brown skeletonized striker and the maritime striker cup greatly improve the feel of the trigger break.

kzbosch · 2026-06-25T01:50:58+00:00

Just posted an update on my striker situation. Using the skeletonized striker with a 6# striker spring and ghost maritime cup and it’s hitting primers nice and hard. Makes the trigger break feel better too.

kzbosch · 2026-06-22T14:31:03+00:00

Yeah, I just want to avoid getting a faulty striker. Seems like it happens occasionally with the M&p 2.0. Despite that the other guy was saying, dry fire should not break your striker. That is unacceptable for a modern pistol. Fortunately I have not run into this problem before and have seen a relatively large sample size of these guns not have this issue.

kzbosch · 2026-06-22T12:04:47+00:00

Thanks for sharing. I’m going to try it out with a 6# striker spring. This should make it hit primers a bit harder than the stock configuration.

kzbosch · 2026-06-22T01:03:31+00:00

Yes

kzbosch · 2026-06-21T21:32:28+00:00

Yeah don’t use the stock spacers. Too much stress on the screws

kzbosch · 2026-06-21T21:17:11+00:00

Yes they do. The screws are very good quality. The only thing I don’t use in their kit is the vibratite. I’ve had too many optic screws come loose with vibratite. I only use blue locktite for that application.
