APEX TACTICAL SPECIALTIES INC ACTION ENHANCEMENT TRIGGER W/GEN 3 TRIGGER BAR FOR GLOCK®

They sent it to me for my gen 4 Glock but the box specifically says its for the gen 3. After installation, one of the roll pins continues to come out. It could be way way better. Their M&P trigger is outstanding. This one is way below average IMHO

Pros



- Very Easy to install

- Much for comfortable than the stock trigger

- Reduced take up

- Do not have the safety issue mentioned in another review. (I would question of it was installed properly)



Con

- Did not resolve the main reason I upgraded my Glock trigger (Spongy Break)





I have been a long time M&P shooter and APEX did a fantastic job with their M&P trigger kit. I have installed them in my Full Size and Shield which is my summer time EDC pistol . I decided to move to a Glock 19 for fall/winter/spring EDC for added capacity and went with APEX tigger due to my past experience. The trigger itself feels nice on the finger and is much more comfortable than the stock trigger. (Any Glock shooter that has shot over 300 rounds in a single session knows the stock trigger leaves your finger a bit raw) The take up is reduced as well which is not such a big deal to me. What I was really hoping for was a crisp break which I did not get. The APEX trigger is still spongy which is disappointing and the main reason I upgraded from the stock trigger. I did opt to purchase the ULTIMATE SAFETY PLUNGER as recommended by APEX which I did test with and without. The plunger does make a difference and smoothed out the take up compared to the stock plunger.





So if you are looking to get a more comfortable trigger and/or reduce take up this is a great option. If you are looking to crisp up the break I would suggest looking at other offerings out there.

The short version of a long story. I installed this in about a dozen different gen 3 pistols with existing polished trigger bars and 3.5 lb ghost connectors. Every pistol produced the same unimpressive result and I actually think it made the trigger pulls worse.



I attacked the trigger bar with the Dremel and a little polish. Now it's as good as it was before. Not sure I noticed any significant difference in the pre or over travel. However, the trigger pad does feel better than the stock ridged trigger of the Glock 19 or Glock 26.

This Apex unit reduces take-up travel and maintains the stock post-travel. It worked as the original parts did in my 17.



Dropping into the 19 frame, the pistol failed to reset after pressing the trigger. Replacing with stock parts and it functioned normally.



I will leave this Apex in a reserve 17 for now.

I had no problems with the safety and tried to duplicate the problems of others and could not. Trigger has a very nice feel, take up is smooth and travel is less. Expensive but worth it for me as I hated the serrated trigger.

I received one of these triggers as a gift and once I had it installed, I tested the function and realized that the trigger safety does not properly re-engage once the shooter's finger is removed from the trigger (i.e. if you are using a "ride the reset" method, or if you even put your finger on, then off the trigger, the trigger will then allow firing without touching the trigger safety) I exchanged it for another thinking the first one was just a lemon. The safety on the second trigger properly engages about half the time, which is still not an acceptable level of safety. As such, I can't use it or recommend it and thought others should be aware of this potential issue.



I decided to go with a different trigger altogether, which is a shame because I liked the straight profile of this APEX trigger.

One issue I have had with my Glocks compared to my other pistols is the amount of free trigger and trigger reset.I have already stoned all my trigger components so I had a constant trigger break already. I knew the Apex trigger would be waiting when I got home from work. So I garbed the package kissed my my wife and headed to the bench as soon as I walked in the door. God bless Glock, in less than five minutes I was done with the swap. There at the bench I could already feel the improvement in the free trigger and trigger rest. But the next day at the range it was like shooting a different gun. I have recommended the Apex trigger all my Glock owning friends.For the money and the time, you won't be disappointed.
