The Apex Duty/Carry trigger kit (DCAEK) comes with a trigger spring and two different sized sear springs. The difference between the sear springs is diameter, not tension. All the D/C springs have more tension/pressure, than the stock springs. By using the Apex springs the trigger pull should be 5 to 5.5 pounds. By keeping the stock springs the trigger pull weight would drop about 1 pound, 4 to 4.5 pounds.

Apparently Apex feels a carry gun should not have a light pull. I agree with that for an inexperienced/new shooter, or someone that does not practice often, with the lighter trigger pull. My Shield has a 3 pound 10-12 ounce pull, which is perfect for me. I found this recent article on light trigger pulls, for carry guns, on the Guns & Ammo website.

I'm well familiar with the debate of light trigger lbs for ccw as I've carried a 1911 for years with a 3.75lb trigger. I personally love it. That's been my main issue with converting my edc gun to the shield. So basically it looks like I want the apex sear and striker block. From the kit. But I'll use all stock spring except for the trigger spring. That I want the glock 26 spring correct?
