So there I was visiting my local cool guy tac shop, and see an Apex flat trigger kit hanging from the wall behind the counter, ask the shop owner and the Smith working whad'ya think of it?
Both of them sing the praises of Apex triggers, (I know right a business man talking up a sale) proceed to let me finger bang one of their Gen 4 G 22's with the same Apex trigger installed.
Sweet, buttery smooth, clean break, just a little bit of takeup, and a better reset than an outgoing Obama administration.
I tell them I'll take it, the Smith does the install, tests it, says "holy shnikes this is terrible" then hands it to me, I have worked with horrendous triggers before, this was like trying to rack a
Ma' - Duece with a pinkie toe level bad.
I look at him like, what did you do to my baby man!
Mr. Smith pulls it apart and starts checking parts, turns out the trigger bar is worn out beyond hope, I'm talking rounded over through the surface hardening, looks like the monkeys at Century Arms International used it as a screwdriver worn out, and so was the safety plunger.
Smith looks up at me and says "explain Mr. Dremel gunsmith" I go "not me man, haven't touched the internals with anything heavier than an AP brush and a rag!"
Now this is a Glock I bought in 2014, and has been my do everything pistol, I don't have maintenance/round count logs on it, (something I'm doing now, albeit with crayons)
Only parts I've replaced where the RSA once, the sights, and had the trigger guard undercut, and finger grooves sanded off.
This 19 has shot every form of 9mm ball and duty rated loads through it imaginable short of tracers, and on average from early 2014 to today have put roughly 50 rounds a day through it. Someone who passed the Math for Marines MCI on the 6th try or better can figure that one out, I don't have the scars, freckles, appendages, or digits to divide that high.
Long story longer, I bought the trigger, had the Smith put back the original everything in the 19, ordered a new Gen 4 trigger bar from Lone Wolf and will get that, the Apex trigger, and a Apex safety plunger installed on Thursday or Friday.
What gives?
Bad part(s)?
Marine breaky gun?
Bad luck?
Should replace trigger bar and plunger as often as the RSA?
Don't buy factory parts for it, get upgraded internals?
And is anyone against the flat Apex triggers for CCW, HD, Range, Class use for any reason?
Lone Wolf, good, bad, doesn't matter trigger bars?
Velocitas, Opprimere,
Violentia Operandi
