What is the APEX TACTICAL SPECIALTIES INC. - S&W Shield Action Enhncmnt Trigger & Duty/Carry Kit-Purple?

The Shield Action Enhancement Trigger Kit directly replaces the factory hinged trigger with a solid aluminum trigger body. The trigger reduces Trigger pre-travel and over-travel by approximately 20%. It features a flat face with a center mounted pivoting safety. The center mounted pivoting safety bar prevents unintended operation by creating a trigger block that will not disengage unless the shooter places their finger directly on the trigger face. The flat, smooth face trigger causes the shooter to place their finger on the center line of the trigger and encourages trigger manipulation directly in line with the bore axis. The Shield Action Enhancement Trigger is perfect for use with the M&P Shield already equipped with the Apex Shield Carry Kit.

This kit is a combination of the Shield Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit and the Shield Action Enhancement Trigger.

The APEX Shield Carry Kit Kit (SCK) was designed to provide the M&P Shield pistol owner a smooth, consistent 5 - 5.5 lb trigger pull with the advantages of shorter over-travel and more detectable trigger reset. All of the components work together to provide a pull weight within the acceptable range for a top end, service pistol. The kit itself is engineered to be drop-in and should not require further gunsmithing. However, armorer or gunsmith installation of the USB into the Shield slide is strongly recommended**.

Fits Smith & Wesson Shield in 9mm and .40 S&W.

Parts Included:

  • Fully machined Sear
    • Ultimate Striker Block Kit
  • Ultimate Striker Block
  • Striker Block Spring
  • Talon Tactical tool
    • Shield Carry Spring Set
  • Sear Spring (1/8")
  • Slave Pin (to assist with trigger return spring installation)
  • 4 lb Rated Trigger Return Spring

Amazing improvement
Ive owned a gen 1 S&W Shield for several years now and its my summer time carry when dressing light. I always shot the pistol well but the factory trigger was horrendous. Installation of this trigger kit is a pain. Its really tedious and significantly more challenging than a Glock trigger kit. Theres plenty of online content to walk you through the install, but if youre not confident in your abilities Id consider avoid on doing it yourself. If install goes well, this trigger is a tremendous improvement. Im genuinely impressed. The take up is VERY smooth, and the break is very nice and crisp. This trigger kit feels kinda like a HK VP9 or is comparable to any of the super high end striker fired triggers out there. Im certainly happy with the purchase and would definitely buy it again!

Great Trigger Kit
This trigger is way more smooth than the trigger that came on the M&P Shield. I can't understand why they use that horrible cheap trigger on such a great gun!!

Excellent Upgrade
I installed the apex duty/carry kit in both mine and my wifes S&W 9mm Shields. One of the kits had the wrong sear. A call to customer service resolved the problem. They have excellent customer service and they promptly shipped the correct one to me. Since this was a new problem for them I took some pictures and provided some measurements. It seemed to be an error in packaging as the other kit was correct. The kit provided a lighter smoother trigger pull and the reset is excellent. I used a flat thick punch which was in my wheeler gun tools. The blade was almost the width of the rear sight dove tail. I covered the tip with vinyl tape. The sight was very tight but several level blows did the job. Since I had the rear sight off, I replaced the front sights as well with Ameriglo tritium dot over dot sights for faster target acquisition. With the new sights and a smoother lighter trigger pull (a little less than 5 pounds) I find that I am able to accurately hit the target and then reacquire the target for faster follow up shots due to the wonderful reset. The full size S&W M&Ps are our duty weapons and we also have two M&P 40Cs. I have installed the duty/carry kit in all of them. The kits are excellent in these weapons but the kits in the Shield do not seem to function as well as they do but they are different weapons. With that said, there is enough improvement in the Shields operation to make the Apex duty/carry kit for the M&P Shield worth the money.

Shield Carry Kit
Excellent addition to the S&W Shield. Easy to install after watching the Apex Tactical video on their website or U-Tube. Removing the rear sight for the USB & spring is the only downfall, but this is easy if you do it right. Anyone can do it. Forget the heat gun, freezing the slide, or sight pusher. The sight pusher will not work for this job (Usually). Remember what your Dad told you? Use the right tool for the job. I used Kroil on the sights overnight while I got the proper tools ready. A good vice with jaw protectors. I C clamped it to a table. Also a piece of duct tape on the sides of the slide or jaw protectors for added protection. Put the slide in the vice with the sights just above the jaws and not past the end of the jaws. Snug it up in the vice. Snug but not too tight. Now you are going to doubt me, but lets continue. I used a cold chisle slightly narrower than the dovetail. Square up the end with a file and cover with masking tape. Carefully line it up on the ledge of the sight and drive it out. I used a ball peen 8oz. hammer. No scratches. no dents, no dings. Drive it out left to right just like the video and put it back in left to right, also like the video. I did this twice because I decided to use the factory spring rather than the kit spring. No damage at all. As with a previous reviewer, I also elected to leave the factory trigger return spring installed. This is a great trigger.

very nice
This has made all the difference with my satisfaction with my Shield 9mm. I struggled to say the least with the gritty long travel of the factory trigger and this solves all the issues. Some may find the installation difficult but it is worth it. Be patient and watch the youtube videos.
