    Apex FSS for carry?

    So I've been having an internal debate as to which Apex trigger to put into my M&Ps, all of which I carry. I'm really leaning towards the FSS (vs. Apex Sear, USB & AEK), but it seems most people don't use the FSS on a carry gun. So my question is, does anyone have an M&P with the FSS installed that is used as a carry gun?

    I run the FSS on a MP9 and MP45. I prefer it and the lighter weight doesn't bother me. To me its no different than carrying a single action pistol where the safety comes off when it comes out of the holster. If you have poor trigger discipline its probably not for you.

    I really prefer the 1911ish trigger feel it gives me over the long take up two stage feel of the factory and DAEK triggers.

    Four of them. I do not carry my M&Ps anymore, though.

    Are you going to carry a model with a thumb safety?

    Do you trust your trigger discipline?

    If yes to both of those questions, then go for it.

    In hindsight, I really did not need the FSS and trigger kit.
    Great trigger but I just don't need or prefer a trigger that light anymore to be accurate.

    Without knowing your skill level, I would say pass.

    Go with the AEK, DCAEK and a polish job. Will be around 4.10LBS and feel awesome.

    Skill level I'm mediocre, way better than many of the clowns I see at the range but not near the level of a decent competition shooter. Safety level is I never let myself become complacent and always maintain a healthy respect of firearms & gun safety.

    Do you not believe the FSS to be a safe system to carry? Issues with reholstering the firearm? (I'd be using Kydex, NOT leather)

    Any bone head move that would set off a FSS trigger would more than likely set off a standard trigger as well.

    I generally prefer to see folks with limited training stick to 5lbs triggers.

    Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the FSS come with the "green spring" making FSS possible with a 5lbs trigger pull... Or is this more an issue of keeping pre-travel in place and less about actual trigger weight?

    In a perfect world I'd be able to try both at the range and come to my own conclusion based on my experience and level of comfort, but unfortunately I can't so I'm deferring to those on the forum with experience with these triggers... And in case it matters, none of my M&Ps outside of my Shield have a thumb safety (which I don't use), because I'm the safety.

    Unless they changed something recently, no.

    A good clean 5LBS trigger pull is just fine for defensive use. So follow the parts list I listed.

    Their website says they have a 5.5lb spring standard with their polymer FSS kits. https://apextactical.com/store/produ...php?pid70.html. Unless they discontinued that and are just offering the competition spring now.
