Putting the Apex’d GLOCK through the same testing protocol yielded an average of 5.76 lbs with a standard deviation of. After ten pulls on the stock trigger, I managed to record an average weight of 6.36 lbs with a standard deviation of. The first bench based test was for trigger pull. I wasn’t able to feel/taste/smell too much of a difference, and the results of my range testing indicate that they’re very clearly similar.

Full disclosure, I installed the Apex Trigger in a Gen 3 and my control gun was a Gen 4. Given that I wanted to run my Apex’d GLOCK against a stock one, I placed a call to RF, and he readily supplied a bone stock Gen 4 GLOCK 19 for me to use as part of my testing. The whole enhancement took less than thirty minutes, and required no fine tuning like the M&P kits. As part of the enhancement package, I also elected to use the revised safety plunger. Should I ever want to go back, I’d be up a creek.īecause of this decision, swapping out the trigger was a sub ten minute affair. Though I have a Gen3 GLOCK 19, I elected to utilize the trigger with trigger bar, as removing the factory trigger bar from my gun would effectively destroy the factory trigger. Simply disassemble the gun using the handy video above, and follow along to do the install. Apex offers a trigger only or a trigger with a Gen 3 Trigger Bar for those running the Gen4 GLOCKs.

Installation of the GLOCK Apex Trigger is actually much easier than the install on the S&W pistols as you just need to remove the trigger assembly and replace it with Apex’s kit.
#Axis trigger glock upgrade#
This is a big upgrade in my mind, and immediately made the gun a bit more pleasant to shoot.
The safety blade is still there, but it’s easily disengaged, and moved to a recessed position within the flat, smooth trigger shoe. If nothing else, Apex’s flat-faced trigger makes for a much more comfortable and ergonomic shooting experience. Not the end of the world, but certainly not an experience I go out of my way to have. After a few hundred rounds, I usually have a little dimple on my trigger finger. This is usually magnified by the six pounds or more that it requires to set one off. The safety blade on them has always protruded a bit beyond the shoe causing a hot spot on my digit. I’ve never enjoyed the feel of GLOCK’s factory trigger on my finger. In fact, when Apex sent me a trigger to test out, I was a little sad about it, because I actually like the factory trigger just fine. Sure, you can make them better, but they already start life crisp and clean enough with one of the best tactile and audible resets out there.
Second, the GLOCK trigger, in my opinion, has never been nearly as needful of a cleanup as the M&Ps. The road to GLOCK perfection, however, is a bit different.įirst, the market is heavily saturated with companies making triggers for Gaston’s wundergun. Every single kit has done wonders for those guns, especially the older M&Ps which came with one of the worst factory triggers imaginable. I’ve managed to put an Apex Trigger in every Smith & Wesson striker-fired gun that’s come into my hands, including Shields, Sigmas, and M&Ps. Recently, though, they’ve taken on the biggest platform out there, GLOCK brand GLOCKs…
As the company has grown, they’ve slowly added additional trigger shoe types and they’ve recently branched out to other striker-fired platforms. Apex Tactical is perhaps best known for their trigger kits that clean up the Smith & Wesson M&P’s bangswitch, though their original success came from their renowned work on Smith revolvers.
