Besides contacting the drop safety plunger, it can be adjusted without much effort, and without hurting - if you're careful - the drop safety action.)
The DCAEK kit may affect the latter 'cause the new sear has a slightly different shape. The whole design resembles trying to put your car key on a 10' pole and operate a door lock with it.... (OK, it's a little more reliable .)

Can you be a bit more specific about bending the trigger bar tab? I am looking at it and wondering how what you are bending works for the Dead trigger. The trigger bar tab doesn't touch the the sear until you are back at least half way through the travel, but the Dead trigger would be happening when the trigger is fully pressed I am guessing, so would you be bending the tab down away from the sear or up? Or left to get it under the sear more??. Thanks
PS
My M&P 9 got this dead trigger problem a few times after installing the Apex hard also, but not before. Apex tells me it happens to the stock seared pistols too, but I have my doubts about that. I have alos had my pistol double fire since installing the Apex hard sear....I think they machined too much off the top of this sear and should have left a little more contact area for the striker to catch against the sear.
