Need help about apex trigger install

That's a Thumb Safety SHB you cannot instal a RAM. If your M&P is newer you should have the new slide lock which will give an audible reset. Your M&P probably has the square cut outs in the frame.

ok so then I do not need that blue spring that I was confused about?

Correct. The RAM is to achieve a positive reset so check if your M&P has a hump like this on the inside right. If you want an audible and positive reset get one of the latest slide stops instead because you can't use a RAM.

Sorry about all the questions, this style handgun is new to me and thanks for all the good info. I will check that out for my next upgrade. What are the benefits of replacing the slide stop to that one?

It'll click when you pull the trigger and click when the trigger reaches reset. Some people believe this is important others don't. Your choice

Just got back from the range. Trigger feels great but I have a new issue. need to get used to the trigger lol. I am pulling to the left consistantly. At First I thought my rear sight was off, so I took it to a gunsmith and verified that its dead on. He fired a few rounds out of it and hit center mass. I guess I need to get used to the different trigger and pull

If you are used to 1911's this is normal. A polymer gun is lighter.

Ok so does anyone know why APEX provides a different RAM spring with the FSS kit? Also is it lighter or heavier? I know the RAM spring for magazine disconnect M&P is lighter.

That is a cool chart. I am going to print that out and use it as a reminder. I have always been a very accurate marksman with rifles and 1911 handguns. I would always score expert in the military but the polymer is new to me. It is a great gun and I am having a blast with it. It is fun learning a new style weapon.

What have people buying the 40c found the stock trigger pull to be? And what is the average after the Apex kit is put in and are there 2 different kits with differing pull weights?

A new 40C is in the mail ..

I can't speak for the compact, but my full-size M&P 9 stock trigger measured 6 lbs 3 oz. I installed the FSS and aluminum trigger kit with the light spring and the trigger pull dropped to 4 lbs 8 oz. The heavier spring should be about one pound higher.

On my .40c after the apex fss kit I noticed the difference in trigger lbs but I did not measure as I do not have a way to. I also put in the lighter spring. Overall I believe that the apex fss kit is a smoother trigger with less pre and post trigger travel.
