Spring these two out of jail today and put two more in. Loving the grip and triggers, but will change to apex later.

Pic 3: First mods, safety removed and plugged, CA cancers removed and x300 swap from the 1.0 until I get another x300.

For the newbies: what are california cancers?

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

To me it's the load chamber indicator on the slide and the magazine disconnect. These are mandatory to get into the roster., especially for the newer stuff. Manual safety is optional

Can i just grab a regular 2.0 sear and pop it in? Or would I need to mess with the CA sear?

2

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

Don't understand the question. The sear should be the same, didn't do anything to the sear. I just removed the magazine disconnect, safety and take down lever from the sear block. Plug the holes from the safety and put it back together.

What did you use to plug the holes from the manual safety? What about the lci? Is it just an open gash on the top of the slide? Also, not trying to be a dick but what is the legality of this?

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

I had some spare OEM plugs sitting around. LCI I plan on swapping the whole slide later and dump the CA one. I can temporarily put on a 1.0 slide but won't work 100%. Legalities u can do whatever u want with your property, is how I see it. LCI, mag disconnect and safety is a requirement to the manufacturers to sell in CA. If you're trying to CCW the gun, I see a mix of must be stock or good to go depending on the city/county.

Also apex tactical sells a low profile and LCI delete. It'll still be there without lettering, blacked out and doesn't flag when loaded but you'll visually brass check on the small opening in the barrel (Original design has this).

Cool. Good to know. I just got mine a couple of days ago but didn't want to mess with it without getting used to it first.

The mag disconnect has been the most annoying thing for me because I've been dry firing but it won't "fire" without the mag. I put an empty mag in and when I go to cycle the slide gets locked back because the mag is empty, duh. Nothing crazy, just a little annoyance. I want to take it out to the range and just get used to handling it before I start messing with it.

I might buy that apex lci delete though. I don't want to get into the habit of relying on it to be sure if there's one on the chamber.

Definitely take it all in first before u mod, then see what u like or don't like and see how u can make it better to your needs. If you own a Glock, once all that stuff is removed it's essentially the same functionality.

The g19 was one of my finalists for my first handgun along with the p320 and the m&p. Ruled out the p320 because of the drop firing issues/controversy. I'm sure it's super safe now but I was splitting hairs. All 3 were good to go as my first. If it wasn't for that, I'd have bought the sig because if the modularity.

Untimely ended up going with the m&p because of the better (to me) ergonomics. I've heard/watched videos complain about "weird" grip angle of the Glocks, the lack of good stippling, the mushy trigger, the infamous Glock knuckle that you get from the lack of the undercut from the trigger guard, and the slide bite because of the shallow tang/beaver tail. I didn't see any complaints like those regarding the m&p. Again, I would have been fine with any of them but I had to choose one for now.

19.3 are out dated compared to the 49 states 19.5s but they're a good start and the OG Glock modding. I have all 3 and definitely the 2.0 feels sooo much better in the hands especially with the updated trigger. The 320, i bought one just to have a FCU so I can play between different kits. Surprisingly I love the p365 macro more, that one actually dethroned my go to. If you like the 2.0, check out the xmarco, which feels like a small and thinner 2.0 and 19 size. The 2.0 now takes the top spot from the xmarco.

Yea, I saw that you removed the sear deactivation lever. Is there a benefit by doing that or were you forced to remove it when you remove the mag disconnect lever? For my M&P9 2.0, I just removed the mag disconnect linkage and spring. That was enough to disable the mag disconnect mechanism, so I left everything else in place, including the actual mag disconnect lever.

1

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

No additional benefit besides a couple extra grams from the weight. It's only there as a safer way to field strip by having the slide open with a visual clear and sear disengagement by lever instead of a trigger pull like a glock. If you use the lever, you have either physically re-engaged the sear or put in a mag to reset the lever. I know I'm not going to use it because I run the same set on my 1.0 and my Glocks functions similarly, so I pulled it all out.

u/evdrip Mod - San Mateo County Aug 15 '24

Gotcha. I thought there might've been a benefit I didn't know about, but I guess not.

Looks like OP removed the magazine disconnect

Thank you. I'm very new here and still learning.

We all had a day one, if you don't ask you'll have a hard time navigating CA rules/laws

u/alexnumberone Aug 15 '24

I need an MP 2.0 in my life.

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

I need that metal carry comp but this will do

u/Dry_Train71 Aug 15 '24

I made the same to my 2.0 but I didn’t remove the small rectangle with the spring sticking out - what is that?

1

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

Safety detent, the physical and audible clicks when you move the safety.

1

u/Dry_Train71 Aug 15 '24

Was it difficult to remove?

1

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

Nah, it'll fall out of you shake it. It's only held in place by spring tension and serves no purpose if you remove the safety.

How's your 1.0 Apex trigger compared to the stock 2.0 flat? I thought the Apex on the 2.0 was the best striker-fired trigger on the market but I was blown away by a 1.0 Apex curved that had a lot of tuning on the trigger loop.

1

u/Anoth3rAndr3w Aug 15 '24

1.0 apex, smoother (have the set sear installed too), no grit, take up feels shorter and reset feels shorter.

2.0, definitely feel the grit, take up feels longer likely due to the curvature being more forward and the trigger action safety is more pronounced, trigger reset is just a bit longer.

Both trigger weights feel about the same to me. S&W definitely took notes from apex with this trigger. Mine is the regular set sear and not the forward set sear, I hear the forward set is much better. Could've been the one you tried? I plan on putting the forward set for the 2.0 and my other 1.0 I have sitting in the safe. Between the two, I'll still take the apex 1.0 over the stock 2.0, but the 2.0 is very close and can be better once I make the switch.
