S&W M&P Owners - Apex parts kit???

[SEIndSAM]

I have seen several references to the Apex parts kit. What is it, what does it do and how much does it cost? I bought my first MP9 after the first of the year and love it. But like anyone else on this board am always looking for a way to improve a good thing.

Which part(s) are you looking at? The Hard Sear is usually the first thing that M&P owners switch out as it helps the trigger out tremendously.

I would like to find an Apex kit for a M&P 45. Start making them S&W!

They do make them for .45.

I have M&Ps in 9mm, .40, and .45. All have the hard sear, USB, and RAM. All easy installation, with good videos on youtube. I highly recommend.

I am also curious what kind of cost the Apex kit (is it actually called the "Hard sear?") As i MAY be getting an S&P 40 cal, but if i need to spend much more money (specially on the trigger) then that could be a deciding factor to me not getting the S&P

You looking at around $30. It is just an improvement, the stock trigger is still pretty good.

Start with https://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid18.html , that's the hard sear. The installation is easy as already stated.

Thank you all. That's outstanding, going to order a kit right now.

I have the Apex DCAEK (https://apextactical.com/store/product-info.php?pid35.html) in my 9c. I suspect the competition kit would be too light for every day carry.

I can't speak for individual components (since I installed the kit at one time), but the kit makes a pretty significant difference in the trigger. It is very smooth and an ideal weight for carry.

I'd really like to try out the forward set trigger kit, but it's a little pricey. Maybe on my next M&P.

You really need to venture over to one of the M&P forums and read one of the zillion threads on the Apex kits.

I've got the DCAEK and the Apex RAM in my M&P 9. Ordered the parts right from Apex and they showed up 3 or 4 days later. I'm not anywhere near a gunsmith but I watched the install videos on their you tube channel a couple times and was able to install everything myself. Installing the Apex drop-ins were a big improvement - more positive reset and definitely a smoother trigger pull. I'd highly recommend the Apex kits if you're looking to upgrade your M&P.

I have one in my 45 FS and 9c. Dillon has them. I won the 9c sear in a Karma.
Very smooth. Just the sear, in both guns.

I have a M&P 9 and a M&P 9 pro series and the Pro has a much lighter and smoother trigger to it than the regular one. Does the Apex kit improve the trigger over the better pro series trigger also or is it just an advantage over the others?

Good - Better - Best

Apex (Competition) is definitely an improvement over the Pro.

The Standard with the DCAEK and the Pro may be a wash in terms of trigger pull.

The Apex kits help in other areas though. The main reason I installed it was for the shorter reset.

Thanks for the link to the site w/the 45 ones! I was told they didnt make them. Guess I was told wrong thankfully.

 

[Cwood]

I have Apex sears in both my MP45 and MP9, definitely worth it.

 

[GARANDGUY]

How much Chris? I know a LEO buddy that needs one. PM price to me.

 

[Fishersjohn48]

I might be a little slow but I'll ask. For an M&P Pro, the competition spring kit is the way to go and the hard sear is not needed? Also what about the USB? Is that needed for the pro if you are using the MOE sear?

I don't own a Pro, but a buddy of mine does and I have shot it quite a bit. That being said, IMHO, I wouldn't mess with a Pro. I can not tell any discernible difference in the trigger pull of my buddies stock Pro and my "regular" that has the hardened sear and USB installed.
