S&W M&P ACTION ENHANCEMENT COMPONENTS Reviews & Ratings

Drop-in replacements for factory components enhance reliability and optimize the performance of your M&P for different applications.

Not for duty, carry, or self-defense applications. Duty/Carry Kit delivers a smooth, consistent 5½ lb. trigger pull with less over-travel and shorter reset. Improves performance of your pistol while maintaining its safety features for daily carry. Retain the factory sear spring to get a slightly lighter 5 lb. pull. Both kits engineered for a drop-in fit, though gunsmith installation is recommended.

Excellent product!

First I tried the old trick of polishing the friction surfaces in the factory trigger linkage with only minor improvement. Then by chance I stumbled on the Apex website. I reserched reviews,went to Brownells and ordered it. I'am very impressed with the improvement. It eliminated almost all of the gritty/spongy feel in take up. The front sight twitch on the trigger break is gone,and the reset is more positive and noticeable. Very glad I purchased this kit!

Love it so far

fairly easy to install. Watch the videos a few times and you will have no problem. The kit says it comes with two sear springs but only use one.... it came with one, also it came with what looks like a firing pin spring but does not say anything about it in the discription. Put about 120 rounds down range so far with no problems. I think i might reinstall the factory sear spring because the trigger pull is almost too light. Overall great kit and simple to install.

Really nice

I kept this kit intact and changed all Apex asked and over all it is a really great upgrade. I am better staying on target and can get follow-up rounds-down-range quicker. It is just so smooth and fine now. This trigger is carry ready and is very positive. The only down side came in the install. It was ths "slave pin" that came to make the trigger spring install "easier". That pin seemed about 1/8th of an inch too small. I could never get it set up and prepped to get the real pin to push in and make it lead out. I ended up putting a punch through the other side: grabbed the spring with tweezers and placed it over that punch and went through to the otherside of the frame. Then I could follow through with the pin and get it set up right. Wasted 10 minutes to figure that out...but well worth it!!

Great Kit

My custom work on the striker block and sear did not hold a candle to the kit. I've had the pleasure to attend S & W, H & K and Beretta armorer courses and have worked on handguns nearly 40 years; this kit is worth every penny.

Big Change

Watch the video that Apex has on their website as this will greatly diminish any difficulty you may have during installation. Most difficult parts are installing the trigger return spring and aligning the module pin holes. The trigger module was the hardest for me as it shifted around when trying to reinsatall the factory pin. Use a good pin punch to keep things aligned as the little pin they give you was actually a problem for me as it kept getting stuck inside the trigger elements. It is too short in my opinion. The results are worthwhile, though, as the trigger pull is now under 3 lbs. instead of 5.5. This is the second kit I installed and the first one was a snap. I didn't use their little pin the first time. I left the trigger pin partway in and stretched the new trigger return spring onto the trigger pin and had no alignment problems. Hope this helps.
