It’s not the best, but definitely better than the stock trigge...r. It does require some clearancing in order for it to work in the SD9. I thought this to be odd for a polymer drop in part, but nothing that can’t be handled with a file and a few minutes. I installed this trigger along with the Apex spring kit. I installed the parts myself using a cheap brass punch set and a small jeweler’s hammer to remove and replace the push pins. Nothing too technical, I feel anyone with more than minimal technical skills could accomplish this task. I am no gunsmith, but I am an engineer by trade, so this came easy to me. The trigger functions totally different than stock, 100% improvement! It took out that spongy/mushy feel of the stock trigger. There is now a clean/crisp break to the trigger when pulled to the rear. I did dock it a star for having to file the back of the trigger in order for it to work. I feel this should have been a drop-in/plug and play part.

trigger is better then stock but has many faults. The worst is t...he thing don't work unless you file on the backside and when you do you make travel even greater than stock. If I could suggest wait until they come out with a new model. Also the video they have is telling me to take pin out in one direction but ny pistol is just reverse of the video directions. which made instillation a real pain.

The original trigger on the SD9...VE is made for the "newbie" gun-owner because the pistol doesn't have a traditional safety. The original trigger results in a very long trigger pull & reset and it has a relatively heavy (8 lbs.) pull. In my opinion, this trigger actually interferes, with accurate shooting. This "enhancement" trigger & associated springs by Apex solves both issues resulting in a smoother, lighter pull, but by no means not too light. It is more like an S&W 1911 trigger pull when accomplished. There are several u-tube videos detailing the upgrade making this a relatively easy procedure to perform. I am very happy with the results I achieved. I would recommend the upgrade to anyone who feels that the stock trigger exhibits the undesirable characteristics I described above. NOTE: It is very common to have to shave or file the back edge of the trigger to let the trigger travel backward enough to fire & reset the firing mechanism. This is really not a big deal & depends upon your SD9VE. I merely shaved off about 1/32" - 1/16" and it works fine. Good job Apex!

The seller...NorgeStar shipped same day as ordered......package arrived before expected date. Well pleased with seller..The apex trigger had to be filed quite a bit to work properly in my SW40VE. I expected to possibly have to hand fit as I had read in some reviews. But the amount I had to file seemed to be more than I had anticipated. Apex has some problems with their quality control and their Customer service department leaves a lot to be desired. Have had to deal with them on other issues with other products...They kinda leave you hanging on what to do. This has no effect on my pleasure doing business with eBay or any sellers I have had experience with.

This trigger feels really good, i installed it using the APE...X video and it worked flawlessly straight away no need for filing like some say. Took it to the range to run 100 rounds through it to get use to the new trigger, after id say 60 or so when the gun got hot it had some issues and needed to be filed. Worked fine with live ammo but with no ammo and used case it had a delay for the striker to go. So far so good though it feels good
