The LGS just got the new 2.0 CORE models in. I haven’t shot one yet, but I really like it. I even like the stock trigger better than my X5 Legion. It’s about 4.5#, but more importantly, it has a stiffer wall than the X5 Legion I just got. Anyone know of any issues with the 2.0? The Performance Center ones look very tempting with the ported barrel and CH Precision has started making/shipping their steel 2.0 Core plates, I’m thinking of selling my Legion.

Can anyone here talk me out of doing something rash?

Awfully expensive considering no night sights. For the money, the Sig 320 RX with Romeo Zero is a much better value. I handled both, but bought the Sig. The Legion is, IMHO, superior to both.

Is there a trigger upgrade that can give me a firmer wall? I like the weight of the trigger, but the trigger wall is spongier than a Glock. I also don’t want to go to the trouble of spending the cash for the entire GrayGuns kits to lighten up my trigger pull.

Apex has long been the standard for M&P triggers.

I bought a new 2.0 Pro series Core 5.0. Put a holosun 407c on it and the thing shoots great. I like it way more than my X5 Legion

I agree. I install them in all my M&P's.

The Apex trigger in the M&P is a great option. The Apex kit allows multiple adjustments and combinations to get the trigger where you want. It's got a lot of flexibility. I tried several combinations until I was satisfied with the trigger on my 2.0.

Someone mentioned the Grayguns trigger for the P320 as a comparison. I'd say their triggers are very much worth the cost, and there are several versions and components one can get, from just the trigger to one with overtravel, to a competition kit; the kit also offers options, including standard and light trigger return springs, etc. I have their triggers in various Sig pistols and feel they're worthy of the price. The factory trigger is quite good; the Grayguns is an improvement on that. Whether you feel it's worth it may depend on how discerning you want to be regarding the trigger.

Any factory trigger is adequate. Most can be improved. Some, substantially.

The M&P benefits from the Apex trigger, in my opinion. For someone like Rob Leatham, who can slap the hell out of any trigger and run it like a surgeons scalpel, it probably doesn't matter much what trigger is on there. For someone like Jerry Jones who can run the factory trigger like a concert piano, it may be that the apex is unnecessary, even a waste of time.

I'm not in the same hemisphere of ability as either of those men, and never will be, so for me, tailoring the apex to my likes was a step up. Others mileage, as they say, may vary.

That’s what I was afraid of.

And for the record, I was looking for a better wall for the Legion. The Performance Center M&P actually has a trigger I’d be perfectly happy with. The Legion, while having a lighter trigger is also mushier with a rolling break that I can’t stand.

Also, has there been any accuracy issues with the 2.0? I did have the 1.0 with a defective barrel and decided to just sell the thing instead of pumping more money into it. Has that been cured, or at least mostly cured with the new guns? No sense buying a Performance Center with a ported barrel just to replace it with an Apex non ported barrel.
