APEX FSS or AEK?

[HillTop]

I have a M&P 9 FS with the DCAEK kit and now want to upgarde the trigger. Not sure which trigger to get? Should I get the RAM and AEK or FSS? I use this pistol as my HD.

I also have a stock M&Pc that I carry and will be putting the same upgrades in as my M&P FS to keep my muscle memory the same.

For the guys that have shot either triggers which one would you recomemend with my current set-up?


Thanks

I don't know if it's such a great idea to
upgrade parts (trigger system, safety removals, ect.)
on your carry firearm incase of a self defense situation.
DA's will scrounge up anything to build a case.

Anyone have a DCAEK, RAM and AEK trigger in their set-up?

I think I am going to just add the RAM and AEK trigger since I already have a DCAEK.

Yes, we build these all the time. Is a good setup.

The FSS is a little too much on the light side for most folks.

So, would you guys say the DCAEK is ok to have on a SD or daily carry pistol?

I have the FSS in my M&P9 and love it. I have about 700 rounds on it and it was worth every penny. It's about 1.5 lbs less than stock. My daughter has a stock trigger in her M&P9 and side by side it really isn't all that different.

I called and talked with the guys at Apex Tactical today. They where every nice and helpful. I order a AEK trigger and RAM since I already had the DCAEK kit. I cant wait to get them in the pistol. I really like the look of the AEK trigger.

The Apex forward set sear will move the break point on the trigger a little more forward, but the major reason for the FSS kit is it eliminates most all the pre travel/take up on the trigger. The total trigger movement from rest to over travel stop is very minimal. As far as pull weight goes, it can always be changed by swapping out different sear and or trigger springs.

Apex has a video showing the FSS trigger action on their website.

Can you point to a case where this has been an issue?

This is a well discussed post, modifying a gun and the legal repercussions. I am a former LEO and I know if you intend to shoot someone, the way you modify your gun has no bearing on the criminal case. The word is "intent". You will or will not be prosecuted depending on the circumstances.

Now if you accidentally fire the gun, then any modifications may come into play. There was no intent but the gun was fired. Was it a modification that rendered the gun unsafe? Was it careless gun safety? The prosecutor will review the circumstances and determine the charges, if any. With most actual shootings, justified or not, you can count on be sued. Most people do not realize that if you shoot someone in actual self defense, you'll likely go bankrupt defending yourself from a lawsuit by the victim or their family. Not right but that's the way it is, in good old USA. The laws should be if you bring a suit and lose, you have to pay all the defendants' legal fees and costs. This would eliminate a lot of frivolous lawsuits, but the attorneys won't let that law get passed.

My carry guns are all modified with lighter pull triggers, shorter length of pull, and shorter reset. I am not the least bit worried about legal problems. I have a safe gun that I can shoot easier, faster, and more accurately. My Shield 40 has the Apex kit and I have modified the gun even more.
