tk4 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I have several M&P 9s with the Apex both 1.0 and 2.0. I have one with the Timney Alpha. I prefer the Apex, but it seems the Alpha may be a little more consistent setting off primers. Even with Federal primers I get occasional light strikes with the Apex triggers. Are you all finding a difference in primer ignition, Apex 1.0 vs Apex 2.0 vs Timney Alpha? Or does this just very gun to gun? Before I needed an optic I shot 2011s and never had this problem.

mmc45414 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Hmmmm.... I am wondering what could be a factor from a trigger standpoint, since the Apex uses the factory striker spring. Maybe something is not allowing the Striker Block from getting moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a few guns that seem to be setting off primers sufficiently, but unfortunately those slide are not optic ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swapping out slides seems to make things worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Sounds like the Apex made striker block is interfering w the striker. Can test this by installing the OEM striker block. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe swap around the strikers? Or get a few new ones, they are cheap and easy to swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk4 Posted March 27 Author Share Posted March 27 Thank you for the options to try. Should swapping slides not be a factor. They used to sell OEM slides, so I assumed they were able to just drop in to a frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeeQ87 Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 I haven’t tried a Timney trigger but have never had an issue with the apex in my core 2.0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FDk08 Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I am not familiar with the Apex brand of triggers, I do love the Timney trigger I mounted in my AR-15 rifle. The Timney trigger is excellent.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammerman Posted April 4 Share Posted April 4 I have a few timney's in all the sizes of M&Ps using CCI and WIN primers with no issues. Two of them have optics cuts. Never had an apex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
