Stuck in California with a 1.0 but an option to buy a 2.0

[FortTom]

I can answer a little of this. I have 3 1.0 M&P's, a 9mm, .40 cal., and a .45ACP. All three have APEX FSS triggers in them, and those triggers are the closest thing to a finely tuned 1911 trigger as I've ever felt as far as a striker fired pistol goes. All three are accurate and perform flawlessly. If you're using it as a duty gun, I doubt any law enforcement agency in the U.S., would allow them for duty use if you had that in mind (Apex does have other triggers to meet certain LE0/Govt agency requirements). After a LGS got a few {2.0's) in, I went to see them. Besides the improvements (somewhat) in the new models, I wasn't impressed at all, at least to the point I'd want to sell or trade mine in on a 2.0 version. ESPECIALLY not for double the price of a ver 1., that's just freaking crazy. I paid $450 to $499 each for mine, new. Add the price for the APEX FSS, and I'd have close to $1200 plus another "?" for better sights. if I had to pay 1K for a ver 2.0. Other than that, I didn't really see anything about the 2.0 that was functionally a lot better than the 3 I have.

Good luck, whatever you choose.
