As the title says, just now finished installing the full Apex treatment to my M&P 40 full size. Bought the gun a few years ago, has been my go to gun for all training and by far my most trusted and loved gun. Any time someone asks me what I recommend in a pistol, it's the M&P, hands down. After shooting Glocks, Sigs, Springfields, I have to say the M&P is by far my favorite.

I never had any real complaints about the trigger, but did find a small amount of over travel in the factory trigger would pull my shots very slightly. Apex recently released the AEK trigger so I thought I would give it a try.

 

All told, I installed the Competition Action enhancement spring kit, the Reset Assist Mechanism (RAM), hardened sear, ultimate striker block, and the AEK aluminum trigger.

 

After dry firing, I have to say I am blown away. The trigger is so crisp, with very little take up and as close to zero over travel as I can imagine. It's such a light and smooth pull, yet not too light to make me nervous. The RAM also makes a huge difference, with a felt and heard reset.

 

Range report to follow, hopefully this weekend! As soon as I can get to Easton F&G I'll update the thread.

 

Too bad switching the trigger itself takes you out of Production division.... but yes - M&P trigger jobs generally rock.

Not everyone who shoots guns shoot USPSA matches. Matter of fact competition shooters are the minority.

Yea I'm not interested in shooting competitively, but that is true, the actual trigger assembly does disqualify you from Production.

Took it to the range today, couldn't be happier! Such a crisp and precise trigger, with a felt and short reset. Shot about 200 rounds through it, without a single malfunction. That brings the count on this one to over 3,000 rounds, without a single malfunction.

Can you install the ram on a stock trigger to get a more positive reset?

Yes

Can you install the ram on a stock trigger to get a more positive reset?

As stated above, yes you can. As long as the gun is not equipped with a thumb safety, internal lock, or magazine disconnect the RAM can be installed. It's very simple to install as well.

Thanks, ordered, they are on sale!
