Apex strongly recommends requires a sear block with the larger 1/8″ sear plunger and therefore only provides a 1/8″ spring.Even though a FSS specific RAM spring is provided, the RAM is not but can be purchased separately.This is good news, because now I have the option of swapping slides between my 5″ gun with the FSS and my 4″ gun with the DCAEK. However If you purchased the DCAEK awhile back before 2013 it is different from the FSS.
If both USB’s you currently have are domed and rounded and bought within this year they are most likely the same. Older versions of the kits had different USB’s. Their reply was:Ĭurrent to January of 2013 all of our USB’s are the same across the board. The one I received looks just like the one from my DCAEK so I asked if I had the correct one. In the FSS install video, it mentions that the USB in the FSS kit is different and specific to the FSS trigger. My other question was about the Ultimate Striker Block that was provided. The answer I received (and I have labeled them as such above) is that the ‘green’ spring with the stepped coils is heavier and is intended for a duty/carry style trigger weight while the tapered silver spring is lighter for competition use.

If you feel uncomfortable installing them yourself, Apex will do it for you or any armorer familiar with M&P series pistols will have no problem with it.Apex Tactical Polymer Trigger FSS kit (click to enlarge)Įarlier this year I installed a DCAEK from Apex so with that experience, this installation went smoothly but because the parts weren’t labeled I wanted to ask what the difference between the two trigger return springs was. The Apex kits are quality products that function as advertised. It will be interesting to shoot these two. On the other hand, the new gun with the 10-pound trigger really needed help, and the kit was a bargain considering the results. I've done some great shooting with the stock gun, but I can think of worse things to spend a hundred bucks on. The reset appeared to be about 1/16" shorter in the modified gun. The new gun with Apex kit installed was 1-1/2 pounds lighter with a crisper release and a slightly shorter reset. My 2007 pistol with 3000+ rounds down the pipe dropped the striker at 6-1/2 pounds, with considerable creep. I dug out my personal well-worn and unmodified M&P. Video quality aside, the kit reduced the trigger pull on the. For the Shield, I chose the Carry Kit that includes springs, a polished striker block and a new machined sear for less than a hundred bucks.
markets a variety of trigger "enhancement" kits for M&P pistols allowing the armorer to tune triggers for carry or competition. Luckily, there is a solution to this political silliness.Īpex Tactical Specialties, Inc. Apparently, the gun control Nazis in the Bay State even decree what springs are allowed in pistols sold there. A little research revealed this particular pistol left the factory as a "Massachusetts Compliant" model. S&W advertises a 6-pound pull and this one registered 10 1/2 pounds on my scale. There was obviously something wrong with this Shield. Unlike Glocks, they fit my small hands really well and if a gun doesn't fit, you wind up fighting it every time you shoot. 45 for years and put thousands of rounds through it with nary a malfunction. Well, let me see what we have.checked the chamber, pulled the trigger.and pulled.and pulled("holy Christ this is heavy").finally my efforts were rewarded with the striker falling. For some reason normally rational men think a polymer combat pistol is going to come equipped with a 2-pound trigger that breaks like the proverbial glass rod. It seems like everyone complains about heavy triggers to the gunsmith. On the bench in front of me was a customer's M&P Shield he'd dropped off complaining about the heavy trigger.
