Forrest Halley Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I am in the market for an M&P and I have seen all the trigger modification gear. The FSS looks like a great option, but is there any way to get it under 4-5 pounds? Has anybody had any luck with this and if so how did you do it? Also how necessary is this RAM? All ideas are welcome. I'll figure out where it fits in later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRevolutionIX Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Im currently using the FSS kit in my limited 40 pro with a combination of some of the competition spring kit springs and stock S&W spring. A little bit of polishing and It pulls at 3lbs. Im using the trigger return and striker spring from the competition kit, stock sear spring and the rest was from the FSS kit.I originally tried using the competition sear spring but just like they warned, I experienced dead trigger issues. So far this set up has been reliable for me and is a great upgrade. As far as the RAM, a definite must have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffgray1 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I have the FSS in my standard m&p 9, and love it! I don't think the RAM is 100% necessary, but I have had issues with not letting out the trigger far enough in matches. If you call the guys over at APEX they can definitely help you figure out the right combination of parts to get your desired trigger pull weight before you order.

partyboy424 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I'm at 2.5 pounds with the FSS trigger/sear and comp springs all around. I had to do a lot of work to the FSS to make it reliable an keep it from peening off the metal on the striker safety leg. If I had to start over I would just do comp springs, sear and USB on the stock trigger. Stock has a lot more take up and a longer reset. But when I shoot my limited rig back to back with my production gun, after 10 rounds I'm not shooting any better or worse with one over the other. The production setup is completely stock. It's something I would notice more in dry fire, but under a buzzer. All I notice is "bang bang bang" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmike283 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Mine is at about 3# with the FSS kit, Comp TRS and sear spring. Striker spring I went back to stock since I was having problems with CCI primers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thanks everybody! I am noticing that the trigger on my new acquisition is quite long and that alone is enough for me to change something inside. I think the FSS may just be the way I go with it. Any suggestions on other gear like holsters or mag pouches is also appreciated. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken_Bird Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 For holster and mag pouch. Check out Center Of Mass (COM) he is a vet and makes what I believe the best holster and mag pouch around. Reasonable in price. Only negative it takes about 4 weeks as he guilds them to your order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPW1265 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I have the Apex Competition AEK and AEK trigger on my 9L and it has a 2.2lb pull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Thanks Everybody! I went with the FSS kit and the comp spring kit. Switching to all black warren sights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StealthyBlagga Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Bear in mind that the new sear block won't accept a RAM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted August 2, 2013 Author Share Posted August 2, 2013 I didn't order one for some reason. I believe I thought it would increase trigger weight. How fortuitous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted August 5, 2013 Author Share Posted August 5, 2013 Update: Installed FSS last night/this morning. Everything was super tight and getting it all to come out was a bear. Used springs from Comp kit on striker and trigger return. FSS kit everywhere else. Ended up with a couple of springs in used. Didn't change spring in sear deactivator. Changed striker block spring and sear spring too. Ended up with a very weak shorter spring left over. Not sure what or where that goes. Didn't come off the gun, came out of the bag. Shot the gun this afternoon with new warren sights. I like it and it is very short and very light in the 2# range for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partyboy424 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Probably the sear spring for the old style sear block. If its that one then you can just toss it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forrest Halley Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 It shoots and reloads. Everything works and nothing came off that wasn't exchanged. I'm feeling good about it. I appreciate the input from the forum members. Now to burn 10,000 rounds and get proficient with the platform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3djedi Posted August 10, 2013 Share Posted August 10, 2013 The extra spring is a lighter ram spring in case you have a apex ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

9X23Guy Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Also give Comp-Tac a look for your gear. Great product and big supporters of the sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnhowell1 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 The FSS can get the pull a bit lighter that the competition kit but I'm unsure if it's necessary unless you're used to shooting something with an ultra light trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
