CGoodwin Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hello everyone, I regularly shoot my stock Shield in IDPA BUG with no issues. I picked up a new Pro at my LGS yesterday to replace the P226 I have been shooting in SSP. I asked about the AEK and the gentleman told me that S&W had improved their triggers to the point that it would be a waste of money. What are your thoughts? Also mat start shooting Production with this gun. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domineaux Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 They have improved the factory trigger a bit over time, but the AEK is still a welcome improvement. At minimum you would probably want the USB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick S Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The Apex springs, sear and USB is a significant improvement over even the new triggers in stock guns. Just make sure you don't install the AEK trigger or FSS kit if you want to stay SSP or production. A little polishing will go a long way as well Good luck.

CGoodwin Posted November 28, 2015 Author Share Posted November 28, 2015 Hmm... I thought the AEK was SSP legal provided the stock trigger was retained. Incorrect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FTDMFR Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 The AEK internals are good for SSP. The aluminum AEK trigger is not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash74 Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I know you shoot IDPA so you are limited in the mods you can do. For me the DCAEK trigger kit a big improvement in triger pull. The biggest improvement in the new firing pin block plunger. It really smoothes out the trigger. The FSS trigger kit is a game changer, it takes a good gun and makes it a great gun, but wont work for SSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greyback Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I was fortunate in that I just picked up a M&P 45 (4.5) that has a trigger not unlike that of the stock trigger on a few of my 1911's (before any work was done). I was tickled to realize it would probably just smooth out while I got used to it over the course of a few hundred rounds of range fire, and wouldn't require any smithing or tinkerin'. I like the controls and lack of snap to the recoil; it just might get to be my favorite pistol after a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
