Also I think someone else mentioned they needed to replace the trigger on their new shield with the apex duty kit. IMHO it doesn't need it. But hey it can't hurt. Compared to the trigger on the full sized it's a damn good trigger. The full size is terrible. So much mushy slop. I will be doing an apex kit for that after I put another few hundred rounds through it.

my shield doesn't bulge cases either.

I have the APEX trigger on it. The original trigger is absolute garbage. It's a widely known downfall. Great gun! even better with the trigger work!

My wife's Shield bulged the cases so bad, that I sent it back to S&W. They sent it back saying that there is nothing wrong.

What I did find out is that the case is unsupported on the feed ramp on some barrels.

A couple guys got new barrels. This is only on the 9mm.

I have the complete Apex kit on my MP40 Pro Series.

It's worth it.

Triggers in my M&P's have been great. APEX is "meh". I tried a full APEX setup ($200+!) and it felt much worse to me. The owner of the APEX M&P was mad as hell, too, considering my box-stock M&P9 was noticeably nicer. He was running around having everyone who's department issued M&P's look at mine and demanded I strip it down to prove it was OEM, lol
