Pull the magazine out and look up into the slide. As you pull the trigger you will see the forward prong on the trigger bar push the striker blocker. It hits the blocker along one edge and is pushed towards the frame. S&W knows this and apparently doesn't consider it to be a problem.
Some folks bend that prong to align with the center of the blocker.
I don't bend mine because it would probably void the lifetime warranty. I just grease the side of the trigger bar instead.
Not sure what you mean by "spongy" so maybe you can describe it in more detail.
Remember that there is a slight gap where the rear of the trigger bar hits the sear system. You can observe that by pulling the trigger with the slide off. Is that what you are feeling?
It just feels gritty like plastic rubbing together with metal. I'm hoping this isn't something that can't be fixed. I've emailed pictures and video over to Apex Tactical so I'm eager to hear what they'll say tomorrow. I function checked it and everything is working fine.
I figured it out. I had installed the striker spring stops backwards. That was causing the plastic on metal friction. I'm an idiot for doing that. There was a white sleeve that came out though that looks like it goes over the striker spring. However the Apex installation video doesn't show that ever. Anyone know what that white sleeve is or does??
Besides that, the trigger feels great. No friction. As smooth as butter. Thanks for the help!

Are there perhaps two pieces of plastic sleeve, one not removed?
I believe the nylon sleeve is there to prevent metal to metal friction from the striker sliding in the striker channel. The longer sleeve just slides over the spring end of the striker assembly. The other nylon bushing is locked on until you disassemble the striker.
i dropped the galloway kit in a older sigma 40. it took the trigger pull down to 6 pounds. then after several boxes of ammo shot the trigger got better. with my old lyman trigger pull scale puts it at around 5 pounds. not bad for a gun that was over 8 pounds. thinking about doing a second galloway kit for my second sigma 40.
