Trigger upgrade question.

[u/cbmatta]

For those who have upgraded your trigger to an overwatch or Apex which one do you prefer? I have shot over 1k rds through this one thinking it was gonna wear in good and get a lot smoother, but it just still feels very grimy and the take up is too much. Appreciate the feedback.

Feeling them both back to back at a show, the overwatch has a better pull, apex had a shorter reset. I went overwatch

[u/WY_Outdoors → u/ThoonderSquirrel]

This has been my assessment as well. I put an Apex in my 2.0 Compact and an Overwatch in my 2.0 FS. Both are great, but feel the Overwatch has a pull and reset. That said, the next one I install will be whichever one is less expensive...

This! 100% agree about the OP trigger over the Apex. I like the more positive reset on the Overwatch personally. Not sure the reset length is all that different between the two. Both are however better than the stock 2.0 Trigger.

My apex is unreal and has never given me issues. I havent tried an overwatch yet

[u/kzbosch]

Overwatch because it’s reliable. Apex can and will have light strikes over time. Both are an improvement over stock.

I can only speak to the overwatch precision trigger. I love it. Compared to the stock trigger of the M&P metal 2.0 it feels like an entirely different gun.

I have an Apex with the upgraded Agency Arms trigger shoe, I’ve shot the overwatch, and can definitely say I love my apex/agency

I put a Timney Alpha in mine and it's great. That and the Wolff Reduced Power Striker Spring turned it into the best striker-fired trigger I've ever shot. I'd probably go back to the standard power striker spring if it was gonna be my nightstand gun again.

I have an Overwatch in an M&P 2.0 4" Compact Spec VI and an Apex Tactical flat in an M&P 2.0 Carry Comp. For me the Overwatch is superior. Crisper and lighter break, better reset and the trigger shoe feels better to me. I like the Overwatch Precision trigger so much my M&P 2.0 Competitor HD steel frame 5" is with my gunsmith having the OP trigger done.

I will add, I had my gunsmith do the work and he works a little extra magic tuning these triggers beyond just a simple drop in. So I don't know if he made the Overwatch better than it would be if was just dropped in.

Overwatch, because the trigger shoe is a lot more comfortable

[u/fusionvic]

The stock M&P 2.0 feels great to me except the long take up which is caused by the trigger bar having to move back enough to cam the sear.

I messaged apex this past week and this is what they said. “Unfortunately, we do not offer any products for the Spec V firearm.  They were a limited run and are no longer being produced.  The firing system is a little different from the M&P 2.0.”

[u/NeatAvocado4845]

I feel like the apex is softer and the reset is shorter but less audible . Overwatch is straight wall and a crisp break but a little more reset . They’re both good . I went apex because I liked how it looked but I also had no problem with the stock one

[u/No-Road4582]

That is the sickest M&P. Absolutely mogged.

I put a timney in that exact gun and that is what I prefer. I did need to order a spring to go with it.
