Anyone lighten their Shield trigger?

[JHenley17]

Picked one up from Ferrara yesterday. Haven't shot it yet, but dry firing a couple of times, it seemed a little on the heavy side just before it breaks. Does it lighten up considerably with use? Have others been using trigger kits or just having a smith work on it?

I've been told the apex kit is the way to go on these.

Mine was a little heavy and rough when I bought it. After 500 rounds it smoothed out and I do not really notice if it is heavy now.
I say shoot a few hundred rounds at least through it before dropping more money into it.
YMMV

Yeah, I figured that should be my first course of action. Thanks. Time to play with it.

I put an Apex kit in my 642 and now I get some light primer strikes. Just a FYI, if you are going to carry it daily.

i've always been wary about doing any cosmetic or internal work to a carry gun, for blood-sucking-lawyer reasons. i don't want to give those guys any more reason to suck me dry (financially). also, i worry about the reliability aftermarket kits offer. with that being said, if i were to buy anything for the shield, i'd get the APEX duty carry kit.

Sent ours to APEX in Cali, my gf didn't like the stock trigger. The APEX is the way to go, its outstanding

I plan on scooping the apex...its on the list along with the rest of the gun upgrades.
