Apex Tactical Type 3 Glock trigger

The Apex Tactical Type 3 Trigger is now available for Glock Slim Frame (SF) pistols. The Apex Type 3 Trigger has a visually distinct design that makes it unique, while maintaining the same excellent performance as Apex Tactical’s Classic Trigger for Glock pistols.

The Apex Type 3 Trigger has chamfers at the front corners to provide a narrower trigger feel without mechanically changing the functional surfaces. There are also additional decorative face cuts on the visible sides of the trigger to provide you with the same performance as the Classic line, just with a different look.

The Action Enhancement Kit for Slim Frame Glocks features the Apex Action Enhancement Trigger with trigger bar and an Apex Performance Connector. This setup reduces trigger pre-travel, overall travel and reset distance in addition to reducing the trigger pull weight to approximately 4.5 pounds. The Type 3 also gives a smooth uptake, reset and a crisp trigger break, while the center-mounted, pivoting safety maintains factory safety standards.

All Apex trigger kits are drop-tested from a height of 6 feet on concrete, in 27 orientations, plus an additional 6 drops each at high and low temperatures to assure safety and function in all environments.

The Apex Type 3 Trigger for Glock Slim Frame pistols works in the Glock G43, G43X and G48. It is not for use in the Glock G42 nor in the PSA Dagger Micro. Included in the kit is the Action Enhancement Trigger with trigger bar and a Performance connector.

MSRP for the Apex Type 3 Trigger for Glock Slim Frame pistols starts at $135 for the black version, with red or blue triggers costing an additional $5, and “Freedom Edition” triggers costing an additional $10.
