S&W SHIELD ACTION ENHANCEMENT TRIGGER & DUTY/CARRY KIT Reviews & Ratings

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.

S&W Shield Duty/Carry Enhancement Kit

Everything in the kit works. The YouTube video is excellent as you can go step by step with the video as you install the product. One major problem is not with the kit but with the rear sight removal. Kevin from Arizona mentions, as a tool to assemble, a heat gun. Applying heat to the rear sight could cause problems. The washer under the rear sight might be stainless steel or it may be polymer. According to the package on Red Loctite, it takes 300 degrees to dislodge. Then there is what the rear sight is made of as one of Brownell's expert mentioned with the use of heat. Now go to the MGW Semi-auto Sight Mover. The instructions say not to use this to remove original factory sights. One of Brownell's experts suggested using the Meprolight Universal Sight Installation Tool. Most shooters find this too much of a price ($679.99) to pay for a possible one-time installation. Someone needs to address this issue as it will make sales of this product skyrocket. Especially as people are looking for a powerful and compact pistol which this pistol is and that this product makes even better.

Decent, need to include a steel trigger

Found a video on Youtube and the install was pretty easy. I was looking to take some of the lbs off of trigger and I think that has been accomplished. I don't have a trigger scale, but can notice a difference in the pull. On a larger note, the trigger reset has definetly been reduced to just under 1/8th of an inch. The only thing that I don't like about the shield is the 2 stage plastic trigger, and would have preferred this kit to include a 1 piece steel trigger as the full size M&P kits do. On a side note, I intend to use this as a carry gun, and since the safety has to be removed from the sear housing to install the new sear, I just left the safety off. Everything functions just fine so far. Overall fairly easy to install and I am satisfied with the results.
