M&p Trigger
Sorry but it takes more than a little oil to smooth up and improve an M&P trigger...

If you dig back into the archives using the search function, you might find some voodoo fix for the trigger.
That being said, I own one, and when my pistol was new, the trigger was not so great. It will smooth out from firing , but that takes awhile. You can also dry fire it to speed up the process.
Once you get used to the trigger, you might like the reset on it.
If you look at the posted trigger job on M&P.com you can use metal polish on the friction surfaces and it'll smooth up without running the risk of removing metal. You could also use 2000 grit sandpaper ( I used Flitz metal polish). Done properly the trigger will feel like a 2 stage rifle trigger, take-up - then stop then about a 4-5 lb press, also the reset with be more positive, with one click where there used to be 2. It also helps to put a couple of thousand rounds through it. I'm sure you'll love it, I've never had an issue with either of mine.

Not for the faint of heart, especially if it's your first gun, but here it is:

Yes the trigger is pretty gritty as it comes out of the box. The well-used range guns I've tried were much smoother. So put a thousand rounds or two down the range and the trigger job should do itself.

THANKS FOR THE LINK !
But I will think about it... a good gunsmith will do a better job than me... or I will have to order some spare parts before doing this, just in case...

The exact reason I wimped out and used metal polish, by the way I was talking to Murray Charlton (S&W expert gunsmith) a while ago and he isn't offering a trigger job on M&P's. He said they just need to be shot.
Mine feels " gritty " as well but I only really notice while dry firing it. I actually like the feel of it. I went back to back with my Para 1911 Limited and I can't decide which one I like better. I have massive gripping power though so the trigger pull feels light and progressive. Don't listen to the haters ! It will smooth out over time.
MY M&P40 has about 200 rounds and about 200 dry fires(he he) and it is already getting a little smoother. If you want to do the trigger job you can always buy new parts if you mess up there not that much. MP-pistol.com gets 2 thumbs up. I put 100 rounds through mine tonite and I am getting used to the reset now when doing a double tap (learned speed shooting on a 1911) and am loving it more each time i shoot it. Also wlecome to the resticted club - i'll warn you now it can get addictive and expensive.

That's the way to go.
Shoot it lots and then shoot some more. The triggers smooth out over time.
I have 3500 or so through mine and it is much better than it was new. I bought mine to learn IDPA and it has worked out very well.
Enjoy.

I spoke to Dan Burwell. There is a 'smith in Ontario he trained to do the trigger job on the M&P. Send him an email and he will tell you who it is. I like a dummy wrote the guys name down then promptly lost it. Dan was very high on him.
My M&P has got better with usage and I suspect yours will as well.
The trigger job will do wonders for your gun.
Take Care
