It's grape!
SKU 206301, made on 28OCT11 according the the codes on the box. That means it should have the large spring and plunger and that means that I can self install an Apex trigger should I decide it needs one.
Compared to Marv's Apex equipped M&P 9 the reset is vague. Compared to my Hi-Power, it's crisp and positive.
The placement and feel of the safety also reminds me of the Browning.
Range report to come. Once again I have the same gun as The Lovely Harvey. Once again it's a Smith and Wesson.
Update:
We took it apart and confirmed the larger sear plunger and spring.
Marv took his apart and we've discovered that our sear housing blocks are identical. This is handy because he's decided that he wants a thumb safety. Speed Shooter Specialties carries the parts he needs to convert his gun, for a mere $20. Luckily enough, his gun is a later frame with little plugs where the safety exits the frame.
