M&P Shield plus Apex Trigger review

[timcalhoun]

So just a quick review of the apex trigger for the shield plus. So the factory trigger in the shield plus was not completely awful but it was still bad. So I got the 165 dollar apex kit and installed it. 

On the plus side : The break and reset is MUCH better

On the minus side: Both the trigger spring and sear spring in the kit are worthless if you're trying to reduce weight. According to my trigger pull gauge it was breaking at about 6lbs 11oz with the apex springs. Called apex and they suggested that I put in the original springs. Brought the pull weight to 4lbs 14oz. So tolerable....

Anyway.....there ya go. I haven't shot it yet but I don't expect any light primer strikes at almost 5lbs.

What was the change in reset w/ the Apex kit? I’ve shot the Plus a few times at the range (rental) to compare it to some others. Love the gun but the reset wasn’t great.

It shortened the reset considerably and the break is much cleaner too. Coming from great 1911/2011 triggers I feel that this is totally doable.
