M&P smith in San Antonio

[Texas Solo]

Anyone know of a good M&P gunsmith in the area? I want someone who really knows THIS pistol.
I could send it to someone who specializes in this pistol, but he's in Pa, and shipping would cost a bunch, not to mention the wait time to get an appointment with him.

Any references????

What are you looking to do.

How can anyone improve on the M&P out of the box?

What would you have done?

Be well.

I can do part swaps I'm certified with Glock and Rock River as an armorer and I own a M&P9 what were you looking to do?

i would say with an apex kit, along with stippling.

I put the apex sear and usb in mine its not hard. Not as easy as a glock but pretty easy. Improved the trigger greatly. Even more so in my 45

Apex,sights,threaded barrel,and mag extension.

 

[gladi8r]

Thats all pretty easy. The front site sits pretty tight in the gun you can have that done locally. The apex kit is easier than it looks. Threaded barrel is drop in and the mag extension is simple also. Randy from apex has great youtube videos on how to install the kit.

OH I can do all that myself I was just replying to what could make an M&P better

 

[gladi8r]

Sights and the apex hard sear and apex usb and she would be fine. If you plan on suppressing it get a barrel. All of it is very easy to do.

What are you looking to do.

Possibly some DP sights, and definitely some trigger work. I'd like the trigger to be smoother and I'd like a shorter reset.
Yeah, I know it's supposed to be easy, but I'd just assume pay an expert to do it. Dan Burwell is highly recognized as a premier M&P smith, but it's many months of wait time just to get an appointment to send him your pistol. That's why I was looking for someone local.

 

[shooterfpga]

thats who i figured you were trying to go to was burwell. you can do both of these locally any gunsmith can do it since you dont want to.

Yeah, but does "any local gunsmith" really know what to do with this pistol? I mean, it's not a 1911. On Burwell's site, he shows the things he does. No new parts, he smooths out the existing stuff, as I understand it.

So far, I haven't seen any references to an experienced M&P smith. Anybody???????????????

Guess I'm SOL. I e-mailed Alex and he said he is not currently doing any work on the M&P's.

did you ask him if he knew any local m&p smiths? or did you just specifically ask him to work on it. sometimes, they will refer you to someone they know who can do the work you ask.

Good idea, thanks. I'll contact him again.

My son in Denver just had the DCAEK kit installed in his M&P and can't stop talking about it. He was lucky enough to have a local guy who had done the job many times before, only charged him $25. That's all I'm really looking for, someone who has done it before and won't screw up my pistol. I just need the Apex DCAEK kit installed properly. I know there has to be somebody qualified in SA.
