SD Triggers and Mag Extensions Coming Soon From Apex

[NevadaBob]

I don't understand this...If the new triggers are going to be released "very soon", why are people needed to test them? Shouldn't the beta test have been done months ago?

 

[thakingcb7]

Im sure they've done their own testing as far as fitment and operation... Just need the opinions of a few consumer's before final release.

Raymo2u,

The description on the Apex web page says it all. We don't recommend the polymer AEK trigger for the SD at this time because in some cases it causes a what we call a "Fatal Malfunction", which is to say that the trigger gets bound up and will not function. I will not stake the reputation of my company on making an extra buck for a trigger that was not tested thoroughly in a gun someone on the internet say it works in. I added the line about not using the Poly AEK Trigger in the SD on the web page because we have been fielding calls and emails for weeks now claiming that some guy on the internet says it works and that we're holding out on them.

It's true I have installed 2 Poly AEK triggers in SD's that worked as they were. But the other 2 I tested had the trigger bind up. That's a failure rate of 50% and I'd never stake my life on anything near that bad.


The appropriate trigger for the SD will be released soon (within days) at that point, we'll gladly say that we have a polymer trigger for the SD, but in the mean time it's not safe and should not be used.

Great question. The simple answer is that they're not. The SD triggers are fully tested to our satisfaction and will be rolling out soon.

I'm offering to send out the new SD triggers and SD Spring Kits along with the SD mag extensions to sweeten the deal for those interested in testing the SD mag extensions. I've been raving about how awesome the SD is since it's release and I figure that if you're going to test one aspect of the gun, you should have all the accessories to try with the rest.

Scott @ Apex

Whatever you do, don't compare it to any other well known polymer framed pistols! Ask me how I know.

SD9 vs G19

Thank you for stopping in with an explanation on why the AEK for the M&P doesn't work in the SD.

Also thank you for being such an awesome company! I look forward to any and all SD projects from you guys, Maybe a smaller slide lock lever?

 

[BlackTalonJHP]

Send me your slide lock lever. I will cut it off with my Dremel and send it back to you. All free of charge.

How's this look?

You know I have actually considered going that route, basically I want it cut in half. I never use the thing as a slide release anyway.

Smaller would be OK, but I would like something easier to grip with your thumb.

sorry scott. i didnt mean to screw up apex rep by any means. i tried it and its worked great along with a few of my friends so i thought that if there was any issues than it was becuase of a defective test pistol or something. i for one will stand on your side of the arguement and i wpuld like to apologize for any inconvieaence i have caused you and the company. everyone should wait if there was "fatal" binding.
i for one would like to test the new products if your still looking for another participant.

Scott...Thank you for your clarification on my question.

Chompin' at the bit here.....

Hey guys,

I've teased you long enough. Below is a photo of the mag extension for the SD 40. The extensions for the 9mm will look nearly identical, but not fit the 40 due to magazine body differences.

The 9mm and 40 cal extensions will add 3 rounds to your magazine's capacity provided you have a standard capacity magazine to start with. These will not work on the dedicated 10 round magazines. The SD mag extensions will work on the Sigma series pistols as well, but stick down a bit more than on the SD due to the magazine body being longer.

These and the 9mm samples will be heading off to the anodizing shop on Monday, once received by Apex, they will be shipped out to our chosen product testers. These will retail in the mid $30 range and will hopefully be picked up by some of our distributors.

nice trigger on the pic above...looks justs like mine

 

[EBK]

Will the extensions be offerd unfinished like they are in the pic? I really like the way they add to the 2 tone look.

 

[raymo2u]

im sure they will....but i wonder if they could be custom engraved from apex

We're going to offer them in Clear as well as Black at the outset then add more colors as we go.

We will not be offering custom engraving, the best thing to do for customization would be to get them and contact a local laser engraver to customize them to your liking.

IMO these will be the 2 best colors. Pink might be a good color to add later for the lady shooters. I know my wife likes pink everything (she's a breast cancer survivor).

thanks scott any word or the other size playes for 9mm?
