I thought I'd jump in here and share the latest gossip from Apex Tactical.
Apex Tactical Specialties is coming out with drop in trigger kits and extractors for the Smith and Wesson M&P line of pistols.
Our prototypes have run flawlessly for the past month and the parts will be available soon to the general public.
Our Drop In Sear will reduce the trigger to a smooth 4lbs and reduce the reset by more than 40%. They're 100% billet machined right here in the USA from high grade tool steel. They're also carefully heat treated to rigid quality control specifications to insure the longest service life possible.
Our Drop In extractor has been carefully redesigned to produce consistent extraction for the 9mm M&P models currently available. It's been made from high grade billet machined Stainless Steel right here in the USA.
We're through the beta testing phase of development and the first batch is on the way. I expect the parts to go up on our online store within the next couple of weeks.
Sear Price: $29.95
Extractor Price: Not yet known.
Keep an eye on our online store for details. Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce (http://www.apextactical.com/hp_zencart/)

Nice to see that extracter. If it does the job I know a few Pro shooters that will put one on their USPSA guns.
Will that sear drop into a .45 M&P?

Glad to hear it.
Yes the Apex Hard Sear drops into the 45 as well. It has been producing mid 4lb trigger pulls consistently.

I just watched the video of swaping the sear. Nice job that even a fumble fingers like me can do.
Thanks

Will the sear work with/on "Massachusetts compliant" pistols ??
I'm stuck in Mass. with a 10lb. trigger on my .40S&W M&P.
Thanks

Everything in our DCAEK except the sear spring works in the Mass. Compliant guns.
We're working on a new Sear spring for the Mass. guns, it should be available in a month or so.
The trigger return spring is lighter than the MA spring so installing that and the rest of the kit will give you a trigger pull in the 6.5 lb range. Once we have the sear spring, it should be in the mid to low 5lb range.

The sear and striker block are awesome in a MA gun! Worth every penny!!! ;D

I ordered the sear and USB for my gamer gun.
Looking forward to see how it runs. A friend's M&P is much improved from the factory trigger pull and reset.

I got out and shot the M&P 9 with the new sear and USB. Shoot the same drills the week before the replacement.
From a holster w concealment
7 yards 2 to the body, 1 to the head 10X averaged 2.96 seconds
7 yards 6 to the body 10X averaged 2.99 seconds
Today
7 yards 2 to the body, 1 to the head 10X averaged 2.87 seconds
7 yards 6 to the body 10X averaged 2.65 seconds
My draw is still terrible but the split times did decrease. It won't make much difference to me but a serious shooter would like the improvement. The trigger pull is less but the reset is much better than before. Almost Glock or 1911 like.

I did the Apex Tactical upgrades to my M&P 45 ACP, and what a difference. Thanks Apex, great product and good service as well!
