Apex Tactical is well known for making trigger kits and trigger assemblies for a variety of pistols. They have been my go-to company for many years to tune up some less than optimal factory triggers.

However, they were not immune to the COIVD supply chain issues and found it difficult to meet full demand through the “pandemic” due to some outsourced parts issues. The good news, well, actually great news, is that they have increased their manufacturing equipment to insource some of the lagging parts.

With the added manufacturing capability backorders for Glock trigger kits should be caught up in February, so dealers and direct purchasers should be able to get what they need right now!

In addition to trigger kits, Apex is now making slides, barrels and many smaller parts for pistols.  The FN 509 slide/barrel combo, for example, comes with all the internals and is available with a list of options for an MSRP starting at around $700.

All of the slides and barrels on display at SHOT Show 2022 looked awesome. Some of the highlights included great optics cuts, cocking serrations, threaded or non-threaded barrels, etc. Apex is definitely putting in the time to develop new high-quality components.

The 4-inch Springfield Hellcat threaded barrel and slide assembly combo is great, along with their triggers, and internal parts. Options for your pistols just continue grow!

Apex continues to expand the pistols they support. They are now making triggers, safeties, magazine releases for the CZ P-10, and have many more projects in the works since expanding their capabilities.

Apex is becoming the one-stop-shop for pistol performance accessories.

One of the projects in the works is a 1911 slide modified so that it can take either optics plates or a plate set up with iron sights. This arrangement would allow shooters to change to support shooting, different competition disciplines, or outdoor needs.
