    I haven't sent mine in yet, been afraid that nobody would be home to sign for it. I just may not and wait to see what comes out for replacements. I'm really not afraid of the whole AD as many.
    I travel a lot and that was an issue for me as well, but I simply timed it to send in at the start of a 6 week home period. The shipping label is good for 90 days.

    I sent mine in last week and expect it back this week or next. My understanding is that the return notification will state the delivery and time (after 4:30 or something like that), so I just need to plan accordingly when I get the return notice.

    I don't know right now. If Apex comes out with another one, which I think they are working on, and it is a great price like the last one, I amy give it a go. This new stock trigger is not bad, but the curve just isn't the most comfortable. Trigger reach though is perfect for me with the medium grip module.
    All I could find on the APEX site:
    As a leading designer, developer and manufacturer of aftermarket products for firearms, Apex strives to produce products that are beneficial to the end user and improve function, while maintaining or enhancing factory safety values. With the latest release of information from Sig Sauer, we have chosen to discontinue the sale of our P320 aftermarket triggers until such time as we can thoroughly test our products with the latest Sig Sauer upgrades for the P320.

    Yeah, I read that a few weeks ago, I'm anxious to see what they do come up with to offer.

    I found on another forum (cant remember right now) where Apex replied in person and said they are working on a new trigger. This was maybe 2 weeks ago. Said they had to get an upgraded P320 first. I would think the GrayGuns will have an option first since they are so involved with Sig and the P320.

    Since GG is so tied to SS, I would guess it would be sig talk. I'll look.

    As I posted earlier in this thread, I sent mine in on 28Nov and it was delivered to Sig on 30Nov. I received the mailed back email from Sig on 6Dec with an expected deliver date of 8Dec. That would be 11 days total counting the sent in and delivered back days. Not too shabby considering 4 of those days it was with FedEx (2 going and 2 coming back) and 2 of the days it was with Sig were weekend days. Actually pretty impressive turnaround from my point of view.

    Once I get it I'll report back on the trigger feel.

    On the first 3 I got them back within 2 weeks. The .45 took a few more weeks because there are not as many out, so Sig is waiting to do the 45’s in batches (per their CS).

    I have two more that need to get upgraded but I held off as they are my primaries and I wanted to see how I liked the “upgrade”.

    My Manual Safety will stay original. My TacOps will go back for the upgrade. And I will swap my 3 Gray Gun’s triggers for the upgraded GG triggers once they come out.

    The ne trigger profile is not necessarily to my liking.

    That's what I was afraid of, that and not being home for delivery.
    He didn't say why it was not to his liking. Maybe that should be the first step in determining if you are afraid of it or not. Claymore already said he thought it wasn't wide enough. Maybe that is what Rat meant also?

    His is not the first comment like that I've read about. I have heard many liked the apex triggers they used to have, although Apex warns against using them now.

    I did actually earlier on or in another thread, cant remember. Effectively the profile is pretty narrow. I prefer the standard “Sig” trigger profile which is wider and fatter (and heavier!).

    Yeah, that's what I thought you were gonna say. Same as Claymore. I'll let you know my thoughts when I get mine back tomorrow but I am expecting I will have the same response as they had to take weight out of the trigger somewhere. I'll just put the new Apex in when it becomes available if it is still flat.

    Found this listing for a preorder of the new Apex trigger on Ebay this morning.
    https://www.ebay.com/itm/Apex-Tacti...520354&hash=item3d36d5ac4c:g:2PIAAOSwv~1aH1dt

    Please read the entire description and save some money. Paying $100.00 for a trigger that was recalled is insane!

    This is a Preorder based on a tentative release date of 12-26-17. This date is not firm. We will update the listing accordingly.

    Sig P320 Advanced Flat Trigger
    Products included: 1 ea. (1 total pieces in the package)
    Sig P320 Advanced Flat Trigger

    What it does:
    Sig P320 Advanced Flat Trigger: The Sig P320 Advanced Flat Trigger decreases trigger pull weight by approximately 20-25%. The trigger also reduces the reach length compared to our Action Enhancement Trigger, but is longer than the factory curved trigger. The flat trigger surface allows the shooter to rest their trigger finger lower on the trigger face for increased leverage.

    Expected results:
    Direct drop-in replacement of factory curved trigger
    No tools required for installation
    Approximately 20-25% reduction in trigger pull weight (2 lbs in our test firearm)
    Does not change the sear geometry or spring weights, maintaining factory safety values

    Applicable to what guns:
    Works with all Sig Sauer P320 pistols
    Not recommended for P320 pistols that have not been processed through Sig Sauer’s Voluntary Recall Program
