    You heard same as me. One of the go-to guys (along with Dave Bowie) for the M&P pistols.

    The trigger characteristic on my M&P45 have changed considerably for the better. I have dry-fired it around 1500 times, though.

    I'm not sure yet if I'm going to have Bowie do his magic.

    I had Burwell perform a trigger job on my M&P 9mm. Huge improvement.

    I recently bought an M&P 45 which I'll be sending to Bowie just to see if there is a marked difference between his work and Burwell's.

    Burwell?

    About 45 minutes.

    I drove out there and he did the work while I waited. Fedex back and forth was actually more expensive than driving.

    Where is Bowie located?

    Can you provide his address and telephone #?

    Thanks
    I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure.
