Apex Tactical FSS and Trigger kit

[Pmikeyg]

I recently installed the Apex trigger kit in my M&P9. Thing shoot amazing now. It shot good before, but the new trigger is amazing.

The question I have is...will the Apex RAM make a huge difference with this trigger kit installed, or should I not worry about it? I keep reading how the RAM made a difference in the reset with the factory trigger, but I am not sure how it will effect the aftermarket trigger?

I have the RAM + DCAEK in my 9c. To be honest I can't even feel/hear the reset when I'm shooting. But it's noticeable when dry firing!

I have a APEX on order for my M&P 45 full size. Looking forward to having it installed.

I just installed the RAM tonight. I can not hear the "audible" reset when I dry fire? This may be due to the FSS and trigger kit, but I have no idea. I am gonna take it to the range tomorrow and try it out.

I've read on M4Carbine.net and MP-Pistol forums that with the FSS & Trigger the RAM is not needed as much for the "reset feel", IIRC. However, it still gives you the safety feature so probably a good choice depending on how you use your gun.

I love my FSS & Trigger. I like it better than my friends stock under 500 round SA 1911 .45, granted with aftermarket parts his can be better, but he already spent $275+ more on his including the FSS & Trigger cost.

Remember if you want S&W to offer the Apex parts, FSS... from the factory to email them. Apparently there is an email drive to try to make it happen from industry people and folks like us, well like me anyways

Noob question about the FSS and trigger job:
Does it give the M&P a hair trigger? I personally wouldn't feel too safe carrying around a gun that could go off if I sneeze too hard.

I understand having one for competition, but how is it for everyday carry?

I'm also looking at getting this trigger job for my M&P 9mm. Just wondering how much it lightens the trigger pull. Love the gun and have a good 1000 rounds though it already.

I put the Apex DCAEK on my S&W M&P9c. With the change out of the hard sear, sear spring and piston, the trigger spring and the USB, it is a new weapon. Smooth trigger, quick reset, trigger pull around 5.5lb. Not exact on the pull I have an old trigger scale.

I was thinking about the RAM. Only as I use it as my EDC and I know it is paranoia but also serves as a failsafe in the unlikely event of a Trigger Return Spring breakage, you can manually reset the trigger and continue to fire. I know it may be over kill, but Murphy is alive and well and he is a bitch. For $23.00 may just be an insurance plan. Easy to install, no GS charges. Don't know still debating.........

Might be a dumb question(so no flaming please)
Are any of you using the FSS kit in a everyday carry weapon?

I recently installed the FSS and Trigger from Apex in my M&P 9c which I carry each and every day.

It does have a manual thumb safety, though, so I feel secure knowing the safety is one and it's in my holster. *DeSantis Intruder*

Just my $.02

I don't have a safety on mine. Just trying to get a feel if I am going to put a trigger kit in this gun or not. It will mainly be a range queen as for the clothing I wear it is too big to wear concealed. But if I really like MP 40 full size and my Bodyguard 380 gives me more fits I might look into the MP9C as a everyday carry

where do i get the APPEX RAM, and how much $

The Apex RAM kit did little for my custom 4.5 pound trigger reset. The Apex "duty carry" trigger and sear springs made the trigger reset very positive but added a pound to the pull. 5.5 pound trigger seems just fine in this pistol.

I doubt anything will produce a Glock-reset to this trigger.

If you have a thumb safety model I wouldn't be hesitant in the least. My FSS still pulls at about 4-4.5lbs

Its no different than carrying a 1911 IMO

thank you for the web site info. pyper22

in a compliant state, and not happy about trigger pull. Can you tell me what kits are available, would these be the same trigger as a non compliant state, or is the factory different than the kit?

Finally, with little gunsmith experience, is this something I can easily do, or do I need to give to a smith?

Just a personal thing but no correctly made gun will "go off" the FFS is not a hair trigger whenusing the included springs.
I actually have the comp spring kit in mine.
It's light but as long as I keep my finger off the trigger it won't discharge.
I have it in a 45 so obviously no RAM but it has a decent reset.
Randy is working on a universal RAM....
I run the RAM on my 9mms I think they are a must

I had a duty carry trigger installed on my 40c yesterday and love the lack of creep and crisper trigger pull. Mine tests at about 4lbs. I shot it today for the 1st time and MAN O' MAN IT IS GREAT. In my humble opinion S&W would do well to adopt such a trigger as the standard.

I won't flame ya on this one..... But I wouldn't use the FSS kit on a carry gun without a manual safety. I did install the FSS kit on my 40fs, it's awsome but after shooting it, realized I now have no semblance of a safety. I used my FS40 for the install because I use my 40compact for carry now or one of my other guns..
