My 2 cents...I shot the Sheild Plus for two weeks out of the box, and love the gun, trigger is great. However..I stumbled upon the Apex Enhancement replacement trigger, bought it, had it installed by a gunsmith. Shot today for the first time since getting it back...JUST BUY IT! It is soooo good, no clickiness and crunchiness like the stock trigger, just smooth as silk. Again, just my 2 cents. 😁
Hey did you just get new trigger or the whole kit shock do you recommend?
Reusing the STOCK trigger spring during install instead of the duty ts which comes with kit will give about 1lb lighter trigger pull....That’s the setup I have on my mine....
Love your videos! One of the best-spoken gun CZcamsrs out there. I'm getting an Apex trigger for my Sig P320 Tacops. Can't wait!
Gene, thank you very much! That really means a lot. You’ll love the P320 trigger. They are awesome! Cheers!
Great Video Brother, Apex triggers are the bomb for sure..love all of mine as well! Carry on
I agree brother! Cheers!
Bought just the trigger shoe for my shield 9. It seemed as if it needed to break in for a few shots. It felt like the trigger safety would catch on the frame. After hundreds of dry fires it feels like an improved trigger all around.
I got the Trigger and DC kit on my 1.0 - it's a world of difference! No more sloppy trigger and most of all the GRIT, it was HORRIBLE. Why can't S&W address that from the factory?
OOOooo a Sunday morning vid! I put the AEK in my 2.0 Compact, as I prefer it to the "flatty" ...a HUGH improvement!
Have a swell Sunday, I am off to go freeze in the 12degree weather for some much needed trigger time!
That’s awesome about the AEK! Shoot straight brother and stay warm. Cheers as always!
You can't go wrong with apex thats for sure! Great video brother!
I agree Nolan! Thank you and cheers brother!
You give off lock picking lawyer vibes and that's a good thing
My trigger is fine. Ill keep my warranty.😂
Great review I'm looking forward to picking up a Shield 2.0 9mm with that same setup. 👍😉
That's awesome Fito! You'll love it. Cheers!
Have the original shield, with two thousand rounds through it, doing the twenty-five cent trigger job three times its down to six pound two onces. Putting the apex aluminum flat trigger in on Wed. Love the apex on my g20, also sights and trigger will be the same on both. Like same feeling the same.🤪
That's awesome! Sounds like you've got it dialed in. Thank you and cheers!
What was the weight reduction you saw after the Apex kit install?
Hello. I know I am late to the game on this....I am thinking of putting the APEX on my old SW Shield. The original. Its been my carry guy stock since I bought it. Should i or is it a waste of money at this point?
@@chrisz8334 it's worth it just for the easier trigger pull and feels clean when you shoot. The newer versions such as the 45 just need polishing to get down to the 41/2 to 5lb trigger pull.
Ithink apex has the markey cornered right now Ihave yet to put a kit on that has been below expectations.....if anything they have been well above expectations. Definitly will be looking into one for a shield
Well said brother. They really are top notch as far as I am concerned. Cheers!
I have just installed this kit on my m2.0 i have not shot the gun yet but im partial about the actual trigger. I fear if i need to draw it fast that and pull the trigger i will get it stuck on the safety.
Its like i have to pull it with a propper technique to not pull the trigger back without collapse of the safty first. What i can say is its safer in preventing accidental fireing of the gun but again i am unable to fire it in a panic situation reliably as i would with the stock trigger shoe
Great high quality video as always KS !
Thank you very much Dave! Cheers brother!
For a carry gun, I absolutely agree with having a professional installation done.
Thank you and cheers!
Why? Its either right or wrong works ir dont. Its not like the "pro" is going to get a pin more flush. Now if you cant get it back together than use a pro
It doesn't sound like it had the "click" on the rrset.. I thought these gave it that positive click
Great video ks. I have apex triggers on a couple of my guns. They are definitely awesome upgrades and in some cases nessisary upgrades lol
I completely agree Shawn! Thank you as always and cheers brother!
Really nice video KS. I have an old Shield in 9mm and the stock trigger is better than any other striker fired pistol that I have. Heck, if it was any better, I wouldn't know how to act.
Thank you SPPG! That's awesome about the Shield 1.0! Cheers as always brother
I put the polymer action enhancement trigger and duty/ carry kit for M&P 2.0 in my M&P 9 2.0 4.25. Fairly disappointing. The break is still all the way back. The only reason there isn't over travel is the trigger hits the frame all the way back. The trigger shoe feels good. That's th only thing I like about it. I couldn't recommend it.
I’d recommend having re-installed by a gunsmith. Something may be a off a bit on it. Thank you and cheers!
How do you like the ameriglo pro idots?
They're my top choice for my shield 45 right now.
I have the Apex flat faced forward set trigger and sear kit for my M&P9 full size and its absolutely awesome. But I dont think I could pay the same exact price as I did for that trigger for this one. My M&P full size now has about a 3 lb trigger, which means it dropped about 4-5 from the factory trigger. This kit is $170 and my shield will still have a 6 lb trigger??? Man thats really unfortunate. If they came out with a 3-4 lb trigger kit for the shield I would definitely buy it.
You can play around with the springs to lower the pull weight. The Shield trigger kit is definitely worth it. Thank you and cheers!
Be safe brother, I wouldn’t dare to carry a shield with a 3lb trigger day to day.
Great video. I'm looking to purchase a NIB M&P Shield 9x19mm with NTS(no safety). I had a M&P 9mm model in 2014. It was a excellent CCW pistol. I'd look into the red Apex trigger for a new Shield. Maybe with a Hyve extended red mag. ✔ For ammo, I'd use Federal HST 124gr +P, Inceptor ARX, Critical Duty 9mm +P 124gr.
They seem to make some nice triggers and work well especially with the Smith and Wesson's....Good info as always sir....Good stuff....
Thank you very much Scott! Always a pleasure my friend. Cheers!
Shot one on my buddies shield. Liked it. The original I hated. But you know I get along with the factory Glock trigger just fine. If I was shooting competition with it I'd swap but for self-defense. I like it.
Uncle Dan out!
Awesome Uncle Dan! I didn’t mind the 1.0 but the 2.0 is miles ahead. Thank you as always and cheers!
I just picked up a Shield Performance Center 9mm .....trigger seems excellent...but haven't seen the 2.0
That's awesome Russ! The PC Shields are awesome for sure. Thank you and cheers!
I can't justify the cost. It seems like if you were going to install this trigger, you'd also want to put in a match grade barrel. By then you have the cost of a NEW Performance Center Shield.
To me, a match grade barrel in a gun that small won’t really prove to make much of a difference. The trigger, however, makes a huge difference. I owned a PC Shield a few years ago and really liked it but even that trigger wasn’t quite as good as the Apex. It was close, but not quite there. That said, the ports were awesome and it was a ton of fun to shoot. Thank you and cheers!
Good stuff brother and under 8 I am impressed! cheers!
Haha!! I did that just for you brother. Cheers!
Agreeing with the sights. Spartans are my favorite. Trigger on Shield 2.0 or any other carry pistol I will not change out. If I dont like the stock trigger I will not purchase.
My question to you is about Magguts. I do have a g43 and changed out +1 with flat base and +2 with extensions which is the same height as the flush mag in Shield 2.0. Never had an issue with the g43 with magguts. Numerous rounds spent. I have yet to put the +1 in the Shield. I am not interested in the +2 for the Shield. Just to long in the grip. Have you tried the Magguts? If so what do you think of them? Great channel you have....enjoy them all.
Have +1 Magguts in all my Shield mags with hundreds of rounds through them and zero issues. Always have them loaded up and the springs still feed fine. I have the flush fit for carry and the extended mag as backup so I always have at least 18 rounds on me at all times. I wouldn't trust my life with them unless they ran 500 rounds minimum without issue and they passed the test. I think they released a new version which is even more robust so check them out!👍
I don't do anything to my carry guns, but that may change. Old School hard head. LOL Hope you are doing well. I will try to make the next gun chat. Have a great week my friend
I totally understand and felt the same way a few years ago. Doing well and hope you are too brother! Cheers as always
bought the kit on sale for $120 and another $100 installation fee from professional gunsmith
Awesome! Thank you and cheers!
Nice video.If you get a chance try the ssvi tyr trigger for glocks.It also has a smooth take up and distinct wall.The reset is phenomenal.
Thank you for the recommendation Joel! I'll see what I can do. Cheers!
This kit was a huge improvement for my first gen Shield, but not sure I would bother with the M2.0.
I totally understand Claymore. I was on the fence myself but after taking the plunge, I am hooked! Cheers!
Claymore Just got a first gen M&P shield 9mm. Looking to add this trigger to my shield
K.S I have to try one of these for my performance center shield or my 2.0c
I highly recommend it James. Cheers brother!
Hey KSGun.. Is it hard to put a trigger in? Apex makes great triggers. I just dont know if i have the confidence enough to do it myself.
It’s doable and they have some good vids to guide you, though I prefer my gunsmith do it. It’s a bit more tedious than some like Glocks. Cheers Anthony!
Have you had any light primer strikes since install and have you tried the stock trigger return spring for a lighter pull?
It's considered a drop in kit. That's all a Smith is going to do....drop it in...there is no 'smithing' involved...So rather than pay another 50-100 bucks more on top of an already expensive kit ($150). It's insane to not do it yourself...
Unless your gunsmith will do it for free. Thank you and cheers!
Thanks for the chat tonight KS .
Dave Gass always a pleasure Dave!
Nice 👍👍
Thank you Doug!
How pricey is that Frontier Justice to shoot at. I know the products are high.
I think they are right in line with most ranges in the area. Well worth checking out, as is Centerfire Shooting Sports. Cheers!
Hey Sig P365!. watch this video.. the M&P shield is a gun that will actually Run 365 days a year.. Just-Saying 😏🇺🇸
Lol. I hope they figure everything out with the 365. I have one on order. Thank you as always and cheers Seth!
Lol
If you wanted 4.5 to 5 which is the better kit and spring combo?
I'd use the duty kit springs that come with the trigger. Thank you and cheers!
Great video... Considering one for the mp 2.0 i just picked up.
That's awesome! I recommend it for sure. Cheers brother!
Nice
I'm sure these are great triggers, it's just hard to spend that much money on them. They cost more that a new Hi-Point. LOL! I'm still trying NOT to buy the 2.0 Shield or the new 380 EZ. I would definitely have to feel one of these before I would buy one. If they sent me one of these to try I would love to give it the fumasterchu machine gun test. Have an awesome Sunday-gunday!
Yeah, they are a little pricy but worth it on my opinion Fu. I'd love to see the machine gun test on it! Cheers as always brother!
fumasterchu12 I live in mass. Guns sold here have to have a 10lb trigger pull. Fuck mass. But these triggers make the guns so inaccurate.
👍 always appreciate your reviews. I'm looking for an Apex trigger for 2.0 Compact. How does this compare to the flat faced forward set trigger?
Could you do a comparison?
My initial thought is duty trigger for defensive gun while forward set geared more for competition gun. What you think?
Thank you very much! I will see what I can do about a comparison. Cheers!
The up take still seems huge and I like the click at the wall and sorry bro but that trigger seems to sit way to forward in the guard, just me though
Not that I care about the reset on my carry pistol but the reset is not audible or tactile on my Shield with APEX kit and factory return spring. I put the APEX spring and it’s still the same. Just heavier trigger pull. People told me to bend the trigger bar in but I shot about 600 rounds since and the gun functions flawlessly enough so I feel good in carrying it. So I never bothered with the reset.
That’s strange about the reset but at least it’s functioning! Thank you for sharing some real world experience Zyralius. Maybe it will break in a bit more? Cheers!
I probably should stop watching these trigger videos or I will end up putting one in my M&P 2.0 5" combat version.
You won't be disappointed! Thank you and cheers!
Real question is, how much does a gun smith charge to add this to your shield?
Do it yourself
@@KSGunGuy01 You aren't answering the question.
Do I go with the enhancement trigger or flat face trigger?? Any thoughts
only the action enhancement trigger will fit on the shield... flat face won't. go to the apex tactical website... click on a product, it'll tell you what gun it's for.
Your video on the "flatty" for the 2.0 Compact actually got me to buy a trigger before I bought the gun. I didn't like doing that (I always like putting 200 rounds through a gun before doing any mods). But, your demonstration was absolutely, convincing. Long story, short..., It was so amazing, I also put this "Duty/Carry Kit" in my Shield 1.0 and love it over others available for Shield. I would say it's a very good trigger...not as jaw-dropping as the "Flatty," but still, damn good. I have noticed, APEX is consistent with the pulls. I insist on consistency and reliability and APEX really delivers with M&P. But, for Glock I think nothing even comes close Johnny Glocks triggers.
Btw, you also turned-me-on to Ameriglo i-dot (already have on my 2.0 Compact) and think they'll be going on all my guns.
Mean, that's awesome brother! I agree, Apex triggers really are consistent. As for Johnny Glock triggers... I haven't tried them but am willing to give them a shot. Thank you as always and cheers!
You didn’t install it yourself? Looks nice 👍
I sure didn't, lol. Cheers CCC!
Um. Apex is definitively helping you out. You think we’re that dumb? I’m buying an Apex trigger because they make badass triggers though.
Mine keeps catching on the frame :(
Have it re-installed by a gunsmith. Thank you and cheers!
"Action Enhancement Trigger" - The "I hate you, going to report you" trolls out there this weekend are going to _love you._ lmao
_"My gosh. What, are they paying you? Absolutely not!"_ You need to get Forged From Freedom to make a KSGunGuy tee shirt!

Yeah, I’m just waiting for the strikes at this point. We shall see. A shirt would be fun! Cheers as always Frank!
Overpriced triggers
Nice review but this product is totally unnecessary!
For me, totally necessary Funky but I hear what you are saying. Thank you and cheers brother!
KSGunGuy Cool. I just shoot my PPQ instead of my Shield for range fun.
Every gun is fun, brother!
Oh, c'mon, I bet you have nice wheels on your car.
