Apex Carry package

[Dandecoteau]

That's a fascinating case, but it doesn't have anything to do with what we're discussing here. Please allow me to elaborate:

Synopsis (for those who don't want to read the whole thing):
Officer stops dirtbags in a pickup. Officer has a ND while exiting his vehicle and hits a dirtbag. Officer's Glock 21 was fitted with a 3.5lb connector, extended slide stop and a modified recoil spring. A Glock Rep. examined the weapon and found that none of the modifications hindered proper functioning of the weapon.

Several issues here:

1) Officer DID NOT intend to shoot dirtbag. On this basis alone, I am of the opinion that this case is not suitable for use as precedent:



2) Officer bailed out of his vehicle and drew his weapon while it was STILL MOVING:



Several things went wrong in this shooting, the least of which (in my opinion) was a lightened trigger pull. The officer attempting to exit the vehicle, (with his finger on the trigger, obviously) while it was still in motion was undoubtedly the main cause of his ND. Ultimately, from what I gathered in the summary, the only "Fault" was found to be with the City, for training Re: proper stop procedures. Other than one brief note with a footnote, the weapon's modifications are never mentioned again. The Officer repeatedly states that he did not intend to shoot dirtbag.

Make of that what you will.

Exactly. His modifications made the firearm easier to fire. If it was stock trigger, probably wouldn't have happened.

Wow. This thread took a nose dive.

Anybody remember the OP's original question?

Those of you that have put the APEX spring kit in, My question is.
Does it really make A noticeable difference in smoothness?

Or should I just run A good amount of rds thru it to see how the trigger smoothes out?

Thanks for all the replies everyone.
I have decided not to do the Apex install.
I did add A Talon rubberized grip, and replaced the front sight with A Dawson FO sight.
I have Dawsons on all my handguns. Old eyes really appreciate the difference.

Ive got A few more range sessions to go with the Shield and it will be in my carry rotation.

No problem with the conversation on this thread.
I am a member on A number of forums, I realize how some threads wander.
Key is, I was able to make my decision which is why I posted the threa.
Thanks

I think I will hang around here A bit.

I have a M&P40 and a M&P45 that both have Apex trigger kits in them. I love them and highly recommend them. I CC and I am not worried one bit about the reduced trigger pull.
