I don't have a many round through mine. Midway USA had the APEX triggers as blems for around $50, which is the only reason I purchased one. I could not find the blem.or anything wrong with it. I mostly got it just to have a metal trigger and to be different. Good to know the trigger will eventually get even better.

You got a pretty good deal for $50. I ended up paying full price for mine, a little over $90 after shipping and taxes. Having a flat metal trigger was also my original reason for getting it and after watching many reviews of aftermarket triggers, it seemed that the Apex Trigger was the most recommended for the Hellcat series, and I'm glad I ended up with it.

I really like the fact that it has a very smooth rolling break instead of a hard wall and break. The Hellcat stock trigger did have a very crisp break but since I was and still sort of am a newbie(only took shooting handguns seriously a year ago) when it comes to training to get better with handguns, having to pull through the hard wall of the stock trigger was causing me to pull my shots easier, but with the Apex Trigger, especially when trying to shoot accurately at longer ranges like past 15 yards, it's much easier to keep my DOT still pulling through the rolling break of the Apex trigger, especially now that it is much smoother and a bit lighter after thousands of rounds.

I'm fortunate enough to have a local indoor gun range that is only a literal 5 minute drive from my house and since I have a membership there I get unlimited range time only paying $25 a month. That makes it very easy to shoot very often on my days off. And when I want to do serious training, my boss lets me use a spot on his property to set my stuff up and do my training and that location is only 15 minutes from my house. I live in the Deep South in Georgia so everybody here is very Pro 2A including my boss so he had no problem letting me do that 😁.

If I was to set a shotgun up with a pistol grip again, it would be strictly a house gun. Truck guns or anything other than a house gun ( and in my case, even house guns) have to have butt stocks.

I will admit those little Tac 14 autos look pretty cool and I already know how the recoil is as I had my 500 set up with a pistol grip for many years, a few of which included the Magpul VFG. Recoil isn't the issue. Follow up shot time and accuracy is. Hence pistol grip pumps are strictly for extremely close range.

Weight: even the smaller Officer styles (which I have extensive experience with) are heavier than my aging body likes but I do carry several pistols so the weight problem is cumulative.

I was an early adapter of the XDs and mine was part of a media kit that I bought off the original T&E recipient. Over the years my major gripe was been the too aggressive grip stippling, which I recently solved with rubber grip overlays. The point is, I have been shooting this gun for years and the recoil isn't an issue now, if it ever was. ( I must have 10,000 rounds+ through it.) I can tell you my wife doesn't like the recoil at all, but even in 9mm she is picky. Her choice is a Boberg because of the lower recoil.

That said, the only revolver I have ever carried in the field was a custom .44 special built on a Ruger Speed Six frame and my trap shotgun is a Winchester 101 which many in the trapshooting community complains, "kicks like a Missouri mule". I'm not sure what all of this means except that recoil may not phase me like it does others.

I have never held or shot a M&P Shield so I have no frame of reference. Sorry I can't be of more help.
