Yeah, still running Gen5s. I have 8 of ‘em,
After I figured out what was going wrong I kinda lost interest in fixing it and have just been rocking a gritty 7lb trigger.
I only had one that failed to fully reset and I fixed it with a new channel liner and spring cups. That’s sort of a big deal as if the trigger doesn’t fully reset it’s not drop safe at all, so I function check regularly.
The Gen 5 kit comes with a trigger (trigger shoe), new trigger bar and new connector. The Gen 3/4 kit Apex sells includes all of that but also a safety plunger that is more smooth.
I suspect changing the connector and trigger bar on my gen 5 G19. My problem is the Apex trigger (trigger shoe) on the gen 5 models only (not Gen 3/4) causes me to rub the trigger guard with my trigger finger. The trigger pull itself is very smooth (better than the stock gen 5 trigger).
I purchased my gen 5 G 19 a month or so after they hit the US market. When was that? 2017-18? I honestly cannot remember. Yes, many have complained about the trigger becoming gritty after 1000 rounds.
Thanks for all of the replies

I would describe it as a creepy like pull or getting more “grit”. No longer a smooth pull or press to the rear so to speak. It’s like something inside is grinding on something. When I took it apart and detail cleaned it, I saw nothing wrong.
I have a new G45 for the wife and the trigger still feels smooth after 700-800 rounds or so.
