The trigger on my 9c is a little gritty, but acceptable to me. My 9 full size is much smoother. Wish I had access to more guns with the Apex kit installed...the only one I tried didnt feel any different than my 9fs. Still on the fence about getting the kit for my 9c. If it improves performance/accuracy for the customer, why not get it done? How can anyone possibly tell if someone is getting the kit just because of "hype". Perhaps some folks do...so what? If you dont want it, dont get it done! It definitely sounds like a lot of people have benefited from getting the kit.
