Yeah that involves a lot of money when someone might be willing to hang for a bit and shoot. Thought I would put it out there. Otherwise I will go rent one but just trying to save on some money.

I may be at the Oakdale gun club this Wed. This is during the daytime, probably before noon. Let me know if you want me to bring the gun.
My opinion, in 9mm get m&p 9c, in 45 G36. With a little work on the internals with no after market parts, my 9c has even better trigger than my 1911 and groups better than my G17.

Well, I miss my kimber. Although, springfield is good enought. Springfield has 3 1/2lbs of pull and the m&p now has about 2 1/2lbs.

Hows the take up, overtravel and reset?

Reset can be adjusted (permanently), instructions are on the brownell site. Best thing about the m&p is no stacking, as the trigger is pulled. Constant pressure till bang. Little work will transform a clunky trigger into a custom job.
