Troubleshooting Pics - What We Need

If you're having trouble with your pistol after installing our products and have contacted us, we may ask you to send photos to us for diagnostic. The following photos are examples of what the photos should look like, please keep in mind that focus and lighting are most critical in this case as we're going to use these photos to diagnose the problem you're having. What they are looking for are clear, well lit pictures of the following: -Under the slide -Sear housing block -Trigger Assembly -and the parts that have been removed from the firearm. Please make the photos as clear as possible as we will be looking at the machine lines, size, and color of parts. If the gun is dirty please clean so the pictures are clear the first time. If the gunsmith can't make out the items in them clearly he will request new pictures. For the proper email address to send these to, please contact our customer service at 805-528-5250. These photos are for reference purposes only.

I installed the enhanced trigger kit in my SD40VE and now it will only Fire one round. I have to rack the slide and load a new round for the trigger to drop again. It fires fine each time I install a mag and chamber the first round. Then pull the trigger and nothing happens on the second round unless I rack the slide again. It’s not an ammo or loading/chambering problem, as I’ve tried different brands/types of rounds. It feeds the next round correctly every time. The hammer just won’t drop.

  Contact our customer service at 623-322-0200. It sounds like you might have to make an adjustment to the over-travel. Take a look at the SDVE installation videos for additional guidance.

    It sounds like you need to add some Over-Travel to your trigger. The following link goes over what to do.

I’m having the same problem and figured I’d need to adjust over-travel, but I can’t take down my gun since I put the trigger in

  If you lock the slide to the rear, you can remove the slide back plate and striker. You should contact our CS for additional help.

I purchased the trigger & spring replacements for my SD9VE. The trigger will NOT drop the firing pin unless I slightly pull back on the slide. After disassembly and reassembly multiple times while trying to figure out the problem, I found that the Apex trigger was the issue. I can use all the new springs, but I have to use the stock trigger for the gun to function properly. Please help! I just want to get rid of the awful stock trigger...

  Contact our customer service at 623-322-0200 and they can assist you. It's likely you need to - as shown in our installation video - adjust the over-travel on the back of the trigger body. In certain SDVE models, particularly those with heavier trigger pulls, the trigger needs to be adjusted. As mentioned, we cover this in our installation video.

Installed apex flat trigger in a S&W SD. Trigger won’t reset after first shot, have to push the trigger toward the muzzle to get it to reset.

  We do not make a Flat-Faced trigger for the SDVE. Only the curved polymer trigger.

Trigger reset works fine with slide off.

My FN 509 trigger from apex won't move. I can't pull in the black safety. Trigger is just stuck in one position.
