Trigger advise concerning EDC / P320

Don't mean to beat a 'dead horse' here as I know there are many other posts on triggers for the P320.
I'm considering the original Apex trigger for my P320c. I'm not sure the newer Apex (that lowers poundage) would be a good idea for an EDC weapon.

Would really like to try before I buy, but that most likely won't be possible.

Would it be a mistake to install an Apex trigger on a gun used primarily for EDC and occasional target?

Is there really much of a difference between the Apex and the standard trigger to justify the switch for my intended purposes?

The first few times I shot my P320c, I did experience the 'trigger bite' but that has since disappeared - slight grip adjustment cured it for me.

I know 'triggers' are subjective but I'd like to know what ya all think from your experience.

Thanks

When handled appropriately, the trigger pull weight should be irrelevant.

I personally carry a P320SCR with a GG PELT flat faced trigger and a polished FCU.

I avoid reholstering as much as possible. Almost all manipulation of the firearm is done while the firearm is still holstered. If I have to fully unholster the gun, it's reholstered prior to putting it back on my person.

Carry trigger for a carry gun and range/race trigger for a range/race gun. What is the benefit of a lighter trigger (6.5lb to 4.5lb) again in this capacity?

When handled appropriately, the trigger pull weight should be irrelevant.
Properly handled under duress/stress in real-world "fight or flight" reaction where the sympathetic nervous system takes over? How exactly are you training for that please explain.

The stock trigger on the P320 is pretty smooth as it is, and there is a point which can be reached that makes any gun inherently unsafe due to the trigger pull weight, but all that is up to your preferences and personal willingness to take on the risk of carrying gun with a trigger so light that it can be inadvertently bumped to fire. Trigger discipline is paramount. I would suggest you start with putting a few hundred rounds through it as that will loosen the trigger up a bit. Then, if you want it lighter try polishing the trigger components to see how you like that. Then, as you wish, take another step to lighten it as you see fit, but don't just replace the trigger altogether without walking this out slowly. You may find that you like it as it is after a few hundred rounds has loosened it up a bit. As for my personal tastes, I would leave it in the factory set up. Go shoot it more before you start making changes. Leave summary changes for follow up guns, after you know what your trigger preferences are. Just food for thought!

Modify you say.?.
Both of my primary handguns have been worked (Cajun and czcustom). The SRT's are on a priority list (the Armory Craft thread put a kink in our plan ;) ).

Mellow out boys . We all have our own likes and dislikes .and some still need to learn theres . Personally I think sig could have given us a solid 5lb trigger like others have But they screwed that one up . I can shoot a stock heavy p320 fine but its also one of the heavier striker triggers out there and by far the heaviest stock trigger I own on a carry handgun .

I bought the Gray Guns trigger kit figuring I could go back the stock trigger return spring if need be to raise the pull weight some . Mine has settled in at 4lb 3 to 4lbs 5oz with a slightly longer take up and that's fine for ME as a defensive trigger. It feels more like most of my other old carry handguns thru the years .

I've found that after the grip, the trigger has had the greatest influence on my shooting experience. High dollar trigger jobs often get showcased but a simple reduction in pull weight can make a world of difference, then perhaps a "polish job". Often "simple" is best and has the highest rate of return. bonus is that neither tend to be expensive.

Not to be too pretentious, but I'd encourage you to have at least one of your triggers worked. It may surprise you, as it did me, to experience what you've been missing. :p

Didn't mean to start a 'war.'

Back to the subject: is the Apex (original trigger - not the new model) any crisper than the stock P320 trigger?

Is it a worthy upgrade or should I just save my $.

That is something only you can answer.
