Works with apex, but......

This will work if you are needing the larger sear spring for apex trigger jobs. As some others have said, you can remove the magazine safety and use your older parts. The catch with this is the frame lock. You can remove by installing sear block in vise and use 1/8 punch to back it out. You can then reuse the RAM from your other sear block assembly or use a new apex one as i did. I did have a challenge installing it with the frame safety plug on the frame. Some grease and prying finally got me there.

Has 1/8" plunger (and frame lock)

This does have the new 1/8" plunger which is what I needed for the Apex trigger. The block also added a magazine safety and frame lock which were not on my pistol originally. I point that out because mine can locked and I didn't realize it before install. I though I installed some wrong until it can to me that it had a frame lock and was engaged. (I noticed the magazine safety before I installed). Luckily I had a Smith and Wesson handcuff key near by and used it to disengaged the frame lock. Worked perfectly once that was done.

OEM replacement part

The part seems to be of high quality and was a direct replacement for my older style block. However, you should be aware that this block includes a magazine disconnect and a frame locking mechanism. The magazine disconnect is easy to remove, and using parts from your old block to put it together. However I'm not sure if you can remove the internal locking mechanism.
