    Hey good vid what type of punches you using do you have a link to them



  2. T-Top Tony on October 14, 2022 at 8:50 pm

    Thanks for the video. I’ll be doing this to my 40c tomorrow.



  3. blah blah on October 14, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    what size punch did you use?



  4. gnystrom13 on October 14, 2022 at 8:52 pm

    Excellent video. Thank you.

    Congratulations! I’m Jealus..I still have the original S&W Trigger but will probably make the change next year.

    Very helpful but a bit of critique.

    1. The lighting is pretty bad. It may be perfect on your end but with youtube compression we can see very little of what your well lit angle can.

    2. Show us each piece, piece by piece, as you take something out or put something in so that we can better follow along.

    3. The speed-ups are a bad idea, especially at the end when you’re reassembling the front pieces. I had no idea what went where and ended up having to consult another video to see the reassembly slowed down.

    Very good vodeo, BUT your Lighting is horrible..you need to upgrade on that. Multiple Lights can eliminate shadows and allow us to see DEEP inside areas.

    This video guided me through installing my apex trigger today. They began to send out rubber placeholders so that you don’t have to try and find something to keep the trigger group aligned while you put the pin back in. Great video. Thanks man

    more light

    Great video, very thorough, try using the orange slave pin provided by Apex to assist you in assembling the slide stop assembly and the trigger bar assembly with the spring. If you pre-assemble the slide stop assembly and trigger draw bar and spring with that orange slave pin, it would make it much easier to slip both assembly into the frame, and to push and wiggle the trigger pin through thereby pushing your orange slave pin through to complete the assembly. For your future use when you decide to disassemble it. FYI, again great video!

    Solid Video. Thanks.

    Smith and Wesson Armorers School for the M&P Push the Pins from RIGHT SIDE to LEFT when REMOVING. INSTALLING the Roll Pins is done from the LEFT SIDE of the Frame toward the right side. 🔫

    Hi there. My striker is coming through even when my safety block isn’t depressed, but I did everything you said. Kind of confused. Please help. Thanks.



  14. Dalton P on October 14, 2022 at 9:08 pm

    Will this work for the m&p9 2.0?



  15. Larry Fulton on October 14, 2022 at 9:09 pm

    The Bench Block cost arund $12.00 on Amazon, its nice to have..I used a 13/16 Socket..it worked but was tedious!



  16. David P on October 14, 2022 at 9:10 pm

    I installed the trigger and got it to shooting condition but for some reason now I have a stupid false reset click before the actual reset. It clicks twice and bugs the hell out of me but I haven’t figured out why yet. Otherwise it’s definitely a more comfortable trigger.



  17. Lamski on October 14, 2022 at 9:10 pm

    Did the rear sight really slide out that easily?  All the other install videos show the rear sight being extremely tight and requires pullers and/or punches to remove and they also say it only comes out one way which was the opposite way you removed it…???  Was your rear sight removed previously and/or is your M&P a newer version or something?



  18. MoT0R He4D on October 14, 2022 at 9:15 pm

    Had this trigger in a M&P 9, great difference from my M&P 45c factory. Really need to get off my ass and pick up an Apex for the 45c.



  19. Mike Atkison on October 14, 2022 at 9:16 pm

    I think you meant to say it’s a single action only trigger right?

  21. smileynirvana2 on October 14, 2022 at 9:17 pm

    done. now that is a sweet trigger. thanks for this video man it has helped me out a ton!!!



  22. Doug V on October 14, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    A roll of duct tape on its side works great to set the gun on whilst you’re working on it if you don’t have the block you were talking about.



  23. John Bayles on October 14, 2022 at 9:24 pm

    What is the trigger pull weight now?



  24. guysandgirlscloset on October 14, 2022 at 9:24 pm

    Are you going to post a new video showing how accurate its shooting?



  25. UndeadSoldier on October 14, 2022 at 9:33 pm

    Bro cut it out with the stupid fast-forward, I can’t follow you at that speed.



  26. john on October 14, 2022 at 9:36 pm

    A suggestion: Place more light down on top of your fingers. Too much dark shadow. Hard to see what your fingers are doing.



  27. I have no name on October 14, 2022 at 9:38 pm

    You need better lighting.



  28. 13noman1 on October 14, 2022 at 9:38 pm

    GREAT demo! I’ve been debating putting an Apex in my 9c. You’ve inspired me.



  29. GunCollector007 on October 14, 2022 at 9:39 pm

    Very interesting. Keep us posted as to how it works.



  30. monitor1862 on October 14, 2022 at 9:46 pm

    I made the same discovery when installing the trigger pin. The smaller the better.



  31. DMG Three on October 14, 2022 at 9:47 pm

    You fast forwarded through the re install of everything! You were doing good up until then
