Apex FSS Install Hiccup

Thanks Randy. I really can't wait to get this stuff in the gun. With your videos, I know that I can do it. I'm mechanical, but not much gunsmithing experience. I reload, so I know what difference a thousandth makes.

I'll be putting the RAM in at the same time. Does the RAM replace a part in the gun, or is it and additional piece?

Our current RAM resides in the hole that runs through the sear housing block that was created for the ILS. Are you ready for the Apex RAM? « Will Work For Ammo – Apex Tactical Specialties

The newest frames have done away with the hole entirely. Smith has streamlined their product line so that one sear housing block will fit both thumb safety frames and non-TS frames like the VTAC. It is also the same as the 45 M&P sear block.

My gun looks like the one in the picture, so I should be good to go.

You said that the newest frames dont have the hole. That may not be true, I called S&W when i got my gun, I gave them the serial number, and they said my gun was made December 13 2011.

I ordered the RAM this morning, and will order the FSS pretty soon.
 
Hey guys, Newbie to the forum. This is exactly what i was looking for. I know this thread is a couple years old, so hoping notifications are read LOL! So, heres the deal: full size thumb safety model. Installed FSS kit, and like an idiot who researched 10 steps ahead before purchase..... I adjusted the hook before ever seeing if it needed any adjustment!!!! I know, I know...... Sooo stupid. But i figured id give it a few thousandths and avoid the problem right off the bat right?!?!?! Haha, so what i have is a totally unsafe trigger. It drops the pin with the slightest pressure on the trigger, even without the trigger safety being touched. If i touch the trigger at all, it drops. So im thinking not only is the gap on the hook important, but also the radius of the loop?? Due to the initial adjustment ( and then "furthering" of said adjustment ) because of non function, i started going backwards on the adjustment to bring the gap closer. I had it open pretty damn far!! Should i just get a new trigger bar and start over, or do i just keep tweaking the gap and radius til its perfect? Also how much tweaking can the hook take, because i am under the impression I'll have to adjust that periodically. Thanks in advance for any reply!
 
I have the DCAEK kit installed in my 9c and the FSS kit with the RAM installed in my 5" Pro. Great for about the first year. I am now starting to get light primer hits with both guns. Both candy cane loops are open probably way too much. A certified smith is playing with them now to make the light primer hits go away. I could have done it myself, but sometimes, it is easier to just let a gunsmith play with it. Like the OP, I did learn the ins and outs of my gun by installing the kits.
