I kept my trigger as well. I want to master the current trigger and the shield is my EDC. I am new to guns (in my second year) so i am not the most experienced. But i figured i want a heavy pull in my EDC (but also considering an apex).

You seem to go to the range a lot (i am jealous) so you seem to have a good idea of what you want. Do you have a friend with a shield and apex? If so, maybe fire his/hers and see the differences.

How good is your grouping with the shield?
