Just figured I'd drop my 2 cents on the new 2.0 Apex forward set sear kit that I just installed in my 5" FDE 9mm.
Its pretty wicked! Haven't gotten to the range yet but its pretty similar to the 1.0 versions I already have.
its break actually feels just a little bit more crisp than the other ones I have but that could just be due to it being brand new.
unlike the older versions of the FSS, it doesn't actually have a different sear than the standard 2 dot sear that would come in the duty\carry kit. the older version had a 3 dot sear that was a little longer, and thus making the pre-travel very short. Also you could adjust the over travel of the system by closing the loop in the trigger bar making for a great trigger feel similar to a single action 1911.
the new system had to change because of the changes made in the 2.0 trigger system. Apex made their own sear actuator that has an extension that makes the trigger bar contact sooner to take out some of the pre-travel and this piece takes the place of the original 3 dot sear. I don't know if they changed anything in the dimensions of the trigger shoe but the result of the new kit is next to zero over travel and an ultra crisp break and due to the flat trigger, the trigger reach is farther forward to make it easier to shoot with the first pad of your finger.
They have also included TWO different sear springs in addition to the two different trigger springs. by varying the combination of springs between factory and apex, you can really tune to your liking.
I will say the only thing I don't like a much with the new system is that it has much more pre-travel than the original FSS kits. the FSS in the 1.0 had a super short pre-travel and while the new version is shorter than stock, it's not AS short as the 1.0 version. I don't know why Apex decided to change this but I was slightly disappointed by that. Still, this kit is fantastic and I don't regret buying it for a second and would buy it again even despite the SLIGHT disappointment of the pre-travel.
