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.

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
