Had to use a friends gun at a match today because mine went to ****. The trigger went completely dead a few times mid strings in steel challenge.

Here's some factors:

Dry firing does not replicate it. It functions fine. Only happens when firing.
When it happens I only have to partially pull the side back (similar to a press check) then the gun will fire.
The gun does have a full Apex Duty/carry kit and aluminum trigger.
The candy cane does look from the top and into the frame a little curvy from "adjusting". (Why I'm leaning toward this as the problem. User caused of course.)

First aid tried at the range with limited tools... I bent the trigger bar a little more aggressively toward the sear so it had full contact.

Gun ran fantastic just Thursday night at a pin shoot with no problems at all.

I'm taking this gun to a huge Berry's match in Feb. I'm concerned because if it's the trigger bar I can't find one anywhere online and I've read that S&W won't sell you one and requires send in. No way the gun will be back before then with the holiday comebacks they'll get. I have an "H" bar.

I'll call Apex and S&W tomorrow and see if can get anywhere. I have a feeling I'm screwed.
