Try this. Take the slide off so you're just holding the frame pull the trigger and watch the sear. when it ends, slide The Seer bar out from under this sear and let it reset. I had an issue with this with a 45. I ended up replacing the plunger spring. Worked like a charm.

It could also be, that you need an adjustment on the trigger bar, or the trigger bar Loop.

But you're going to anyway? Why? That's like folks saying, "I hate to say this, but..." I immediately interrupt them and say,"Then why say it?" or "You hate to say it, but you're going to anyway? Why?"
Some folks just can't help themselves- their opinion is more important to them, than the other folk's feelings or if it's appropriate or not, or germane to the thread or anything. Just like Cactus Jack, he just can't WAIT to chastise someone with his opinions. Never mind that it's not relevant or wanted or appropriate, etc. He doesn't realize that that logic is a slippery slope into ALL facets of life: why improve your car? ALL vehicles should remain stock, We should never make improvement to our homes, etc. In fact, we should let him control everything in our lives. Man, if I were King.....anyway, back to reality.
Btw, when someone suggests that that belongs in another thread, if you can't find one, start one. Just sayin'
To the OP, I suggest taking it to an Armorer- that would be the quickest, safest way to deal with that.
Btw, don't worry about the naysayers. Everything mass produced is made to fit the masses. I'm ALWAYS modifying things to fit ME, if for nothing else, but to personalize it. Modify on, just be safe. How terrible would it be that in an emergency situation, you need it to go bang and it doesn't and you don't really know when/if it will.

I didn't express an opinion, or criticize, or anything of the sort. I asked HIS reasons for wanting to change the trigger...and that's all I was doing. I just wanted to know why HE wanted to change the trigger...and no one but him can answer that question. If you don't like that, I'm sorry, but I'll learn to live with your disapproval.

I think Navy is ahead.
One thing to consider is the trigger bar loop. Watch the Youtube vid, and ensure the loop is correct. That will at least eliminate it as a cause...Good luck!

The 2.0 doesn't have the trigger bar loop like the 1.0, so it's non adjustable like the 1.0 pistol is.

Yes, the Marine Corps is a department of the Navy.
It's the MEN's Department.
As far as this thread goes, I really like the 2.0 hinged trigger, but I would never criticize someone who replaces it. I also like the hinged triggers on my FNS full sized and FNS compact.
We are all different. Each shooter should chose and shoot what they like without regard for the opinion of anyone else.
We always are...never forget, the USMC is a department of the Navy!

If the gun is new, it might just need to wear in. It sounds like the sear is not engaging. Try putting the stock sear spring back in and see if the problem goes away.
Putting an Apex part in has nothing to do with being "cool" I agree with whoever said installing Apex makes a good trigger a great trigger. A few years back I installed a complete Apex kit in my M&P Pro and it's been great. But even better, I put the Apex ultimate stricker block and an Apex sear in my Shield and it's even better than my M&P Pro. I can't see how one can argue that a trigger that is smoother, has shorter take up and a shorter reset cannot improve your accuracy, it sure did mine. My Shield feels like I'm firing my Colt Gold Cup .45. It is so much easier than when you are having to tug on the trigger or worry about it twisting one way or the other. I think that most people who put down the Apex parts probably have never used them and don't want to put up the money to purchased them so they convince themselves that with practice everything will be ok. Well, I practiced both ways and I'm for more accurate with my pistols that have Apex parts in them than the others. In fact, it has saved me a ton of money because now when I look at a new gun and dry fire them to test the trigger, none of them feel that good and I don't purchase them. Most people would agree that they love a good trigger. That's my 2 cents worth. Regards, Elliot45
Are you closing the actuator before putting slide back on?

Yes, technically, but we filed for divorce on 11, July, 1798We always are...never forget, the USMC is a department of the Navy!
OK, so one point I left out (in case of this) was that in your 1st post to the OP, you disparaged him, but then when confronted with it, tried the aggressive/passive denial (what, who me? I didn't do anything, what did I do?) "Well I just asked a simple, legit question...". Hmm, it wasn't simple, legit nor true. The FACT is you derailed or even hijacked his thread so badly that it became about you (and your post, where you disparaged him), that he never replied back, so we don't know if he got his answer, or got it fixed or anything. I hope he got it fixed and that you realize your error, too.

Looks like your response is a bit late.
