Amazing Upgrade

By Erroll

from Saugerties, NY

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

The only thing Smith & Wesson got wrong on the M&P was the trigger. Lucky for us Apex Tactical has taken care of it. The kit reduces trigger weight significantly. It gets rid of that gritty feel during take-up, and after installation, you will be able to feel the trigger reset. If you are reasonably mechanical, the kit is pretty easy to install. There are videos on Apex Tactical's website showing every step of the installation. Prior to purchasing, I contacted Apex Tactical with questions, and they were extremely helpful. Don't expect a 1911 trigger from this kit. Its not meant to do that. It will give you a similar feel to the stock trigger, but lighter and smoother. It is possible to get a lighter pull out of the kit by not replacing the trigger return spring, but I felt it was a bit too light, and preferred to have a little bit more tension on the trigger. The kit comes with everything you need except a few punches and a hammer.

Excellent Product

By RyanTX

from Lubbock, TX

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

The stock trigger was extremely gritty and the reset was poor. There are no instructions that come with the kit, so unless you have previous experience with replacing these types of parts, you will need to watch the videos from Apex. The video instructions are very good and thorough, and they make the parts and the steps very easy to see.
Installation took about 30 minutes, not including the time spent watching the videos, and was very easy to do.
All of the "grittiness" was removed from the pre-travel, which is now smooth. However, there is a very slight amount of a "hitch" in the trigger pull after the slack is taken out. But, it is minimal and I expect that it will smoothen out over time (this pistol only has 100 rnds through it). Over-travel is almost nonexistent, and the reset is a lot better. The trigger pull is a consistent 5.3 lbs.
This kit is well worth the money.

I liked my M&P 9c before, I love it now! The action and trigger reset is so much better. Easy for the average person to install.

Great kit!! Very easy to install. My trigger went from a gritty 7 pounds to a nice clean 4 pounds by just installing this kit. They have instructional videos on the Apex website for anyone with basic tools to install this kit.

By Dan

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

Wow. Just wow. What an amazing improvement. Super easy to install on my 40FS. All you really need is a punch set, some tweezers, and an allen wrench to loosen the set screw on the rear sight. Go to Apextactical.com for direct links to the install videos, which were incredibly helpful. Tip for inserting the sear plunger into the spring - hold the sear housing with the rear facing you and tip the front up, then you can finesse the plunger into the spring much easier than the method shown in the video. Once it's complete and everything is back together, the difference from stock is immediately noticeable with just a few dry fires. Smooth, smooth, smooth and I love that I now have a short, distinctly tactile and audible reset. If you're looking to improve the trigger on your M&P, this investment is worth every cent.

By J

from Lockport, NY

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

I am a retired NYS law enforcement officer I want to offer my opinion on the Apex duty/carry action enhancement kit. I've been an armorer for over thirty years and installed this kit in my personal M&P40 full size. The kit is well made and easy to install. It will absolutely improve the trigger function compared to the stock S&W components. Your groupings on target will be tighter and you will notice an improvement in your control over the gun and your ability to stay on target better. Now for the negative. Over time as you put more and more rounds through your gun the trigger pull weight will become lighter. I've had this kit in my M&P40 for close to two years and just over 3,000 rounds. My trigger pull weight is down to approximately 2lbs which is way too light for a concealed carry/personal protection gun from a legal and liability standpoint. I've installed all new springs from Apex but it did not resolve the issue. Basically, if properly lubricated, the more you use your gun the smoother it becomes due to wear and parts mating together. I've decided to re-install the original S&W sear & springs to increase the trigger pull weight in case I am forced to use the weapon in self defense. The last thing you need after having to use deadly physical force to defend yourself is to be accused of altering your weapon so it has a "hair trigger". Apex did an excellent job designing and manufacturing this kit but in my professional opinion they took it just a tad too far and should redesign the components to increase the trigger pull weight to help reduce liability issues.

By Raymond

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

Just received my DAEK yesterday from Midway. Installed in less that 45 minutes, very straight forward. Trigger has never felt this good, very smooth, and overtravel is all but elimated. Can't wait to get it out to the range. I highly recommend this to anyone who owns a M&P series handgun.

By Christopher

Comments about Apex Tactical Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit (AEK) S&W M&P 9mm Luger, 357 Sig, 40 S&W:

Once I received the kit, I installed it the same day. With the right tools and the installation video the install was a breeze, took all of 30 minutes. Then after some function checks, I took it to the range. It was a whole new gun. The initial take up was a bit long, but the trigger pull and reset were 10x better than stock. I will be purchasing this for every M&P I own from here on out!
