APEX trigger kit for SD9VE

Just bought the SD9VE. Was wondering if the APEX trigger kit helps much at all and if anyone had any issues with it?

the kit helps alot and is easy to install, some people have had light strikes but they just put the stock striker spring back in. love it!

helps a BUNCH and I've had no light strikes. Every time I go to the range I look at a few of my SD casings and the primer strikes are very solid and deep.

I've installed all three of the Apex springs in my SD.

I've only had 1 misfire and you could clearly see that it was a bad primer. I have 0 issues or complaints with any of the apex items I've owned/used.

Most definitely worth it.

If your asking about the spring kit, then YES!!! If your asking about the AEK Trigger, IDK yet, but I'll find out soon.

Yes the spring kit. Just wanted to get some opinions form some owners not a company web site. I'll have to give it a try. I think this might be a big part of my grouping issues.

only practice can help, lay a penny on then end of the barrel by the front sight, then practice dry firing until it stays in place with each hand supported and non-supported for 10 successful shots. that will be a good basic line to start from for training.
next use snap caps in between rounds in the mag but do so so you wont know the order their in. while you fire you will see what your doing wrong when you get the snap cap be it flinching or yanking the trigger, ect.

hope this helps

Thanks for the info. I'll try that but I can seem to get a smooth trigger pole with this gun. I really think its the weight.

This is a really good idea which I never thought of doing. Think ill buy a couple more caps today and try it out this weekend. I usually have two/ three inch groups at 20yrds. But also have a couple that go low to left as well. Thanks for the good idea!
