M&P 2.0 Apex Flat trigger questions

[DLWinner]

I installed an Apex Flat trigger kit in my M&P 2.0 Yesterday. I’m still playing around with different spring weights/combos.
For those that have installed the Apex kit, what spring combination did you end up settling on? There are so many options making it difficult to choose.

I did the heaviest sear spring and the lightest (factory) trigger spring.
I got the desired outcome of a two stage light take-up with a distinct snap, in a manner that somewhat mimics the 1911.

Have you seen this helpful chart from Apex?



Some prefer long “pull-through” trigger and some prefer a “two-stage” trigger. You can get that with heaviest trigger spring and lightest sear spring or vice versa.

I did this one first and liked it so I haven't experimented with anything else:



I found that I was better/more comfortable with this combo, although I'm sure the flat trigger probably had the most influence.

I believe S&W updated their sear spring as a running change in the original 1.0 version of the M&P and that update continues with the 2.0 versions. Seems the striker wouldn't reset at times causing a dead trigger. S&W updated to a heavier sear spring to give the sear a bit more upward push to catch the striker leg. I would definitely go with the heavier sear spring.

I did this option and cleaned up the crude stamped trigger bar while I was there, wound up with a real impressive sub 4lb trigger, I'd experiment further if I were going to carry it.

I had a way back 1.0 and went to install one of my first Apex kits and the plunger and spring were smaller. The solution was a new striker block, I started thinking about the money I was pouring into what I think was a police trade in and decided to buy a new pistol instead of a striker block.

I put the lightest combination in it for now. I will try a couple of the above mentioned combos next week. It definitely needs to be heavier.

I left the factory S&W springs in my 2.0 Compact. Satisfied with that.
