Just picked up a M&P 40 and I definetly see the issues now with the trigger. Gritty and long.  I looked at APEXs website but see they offer several items for the M&P. Which is the drop in trigger kit that is generally considered the cats ass for these pistols? Its for a CCW weapon. |
| i installed an apex kit (DCAEK) duty/carry on my M&P .45c the other day, and loved it. my groupings were much tighter, trigger pull lighter and the reset was much better. however, be patient with the re-install of the pin through the trigger assembly and spring. it took me way longer to do than it should've, but once i got it right it was butta. |

Quoted: I just put a trigger in mine, its the competition kit, I think AEK. Way better. Havent had it out to the range yet so no report on shootability yet. I have the Hard Sear, Ultimate Striker Block, and Competition Spring Kit, in my M&P 9FS with thumb safety. I ordered it that way, from G&R Tactical. Trigger pull is slightly under 4#, and extremely smooth for a striker pistol. Reset is nice and short, but not what will thrill the audible/tactile reset lovers. I dig it, even for carry, since I use the thumb safety. Some might feel better with the Duty/Carry Spring Set, for more pull weight. For those who want a more positive tactile reset, the RAM achieves it (but isn't compatible with a thumb safety). My M&P 9C (also with thumb safety) is box stock, and has a pretty nice trigger as-is. I haven't put the weights to it, but it feels like about a 5 to 5.5# trigger, and exhibits no grit, or other odious qualities. Reset is more positive on it, than on my modified M&P 9FS, for whatever that's worth. For my M&P .45 (also with thumb safety), I'm going to try out the new FSS (Forward Set Sear) Kit, which comes with a nice aluminum trigger. This kit gives less take-up, an earlier break, and less overtravel. Word is that this kit gives a very 1911-like trigger quality.  |

I too installed a DCAEK but in my FS 9. Night and day for shooting. With duty carry, the springs are a tad heavier than competition. I installed it with YouTube of Randy Lee guiding for every component in the kit. It's certainly something one can do themselves. I recommend this APEX kit. Though it's primarily for duty carry, I've been using it in competition without issue.
