Default Help me upgrade my Shield

Just came back from the range and as much as i love the shield (9mm) i want to add some upgrades. I have been carrying 1 year and this is the first gun i will be upgrading. I want upgrades to make it the best shooter possible.

Apex Trigger
I have been reading a lot about these. I am in MA and have the 10lb. version. What exactly does the trigger upgrade? I know trigger pull, but what else? Which kit would i need? I see a few different kits/sets on their website

I have read about changing out the recoil spring, what specifically will that change in how the gun shoots? Any good brands to look for?

As far as sights go, i will leave them stock for now.

I changed three things: I added Talon Grips, night sights and the Apex sear only. That smoothed the trigger out some and I am very happy with how it shoots for me after 18 months or so.

The apex duty carry kit is what I have on my EDC, it reduces the trigger pull about 2lb, mine was around 7-8lb non MA compliant, now it is at 5.5lb, it also produces a clean crisp trigger break, mine was gritty. I polished all the internal parts, and added hogues beaver tail grip.
