I\u2019ve found that Springfield Armory\u2019s offerings fit that former group. But, I also I can\u2019t seem to resist the urge to customize a lot of guns.

He is the mastermind behind the Apex <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> products we have come to know and love.<\/p>\n<p>We took the pistol to the bench and Randy began the installation process. Admittedly, it didn\u2019t look too complex, but I was glad I had a professional to get it done right the first time. As Randy worked, I eagerly asked him about his background and thoughts behind the <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> products they have been designing. After hearing all that goes into their R&amp;D, testing, materials and manufacturing process, I had an even deeper respect for the products from Apex Tactical.<\/p>\n<div class=\"newsletter inline\">\n<div class=\"newsletter-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: none;\" class=\"logo-tal-icon\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/themes\/thearmorylife\/img\/logo-tal-tm-icon.svg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Live The Armory Life.<\/strong> The latest content straight to your inbox plus an automatic entry to each of our <a class=\"ajax-giveaways\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/giveaways\/\"><strong>monthly gun\u00a0giveaways!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Once it was all installed, the trigger was breaking at around 4.5 lbs. and felt fantastic.

I didn\u2019t fumble a single reload, and each time that magazine seated perfectly as well as dropped consistently without any hiccups.<\/p>\n<p>The new trigger also made quick follow-up shots a breeze. Keeping in mind I am not a competition shooter, I was happy with the results I was getting with the newly installed Apex <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> trigger.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expert Opinion<\/h2>\n<p>Speaking of competition shooters, I linked up with the legendary Rob Leathem to get his thoughts on the Apex Tactical <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> parts. Here is what he had to say about them.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><picture decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-47638\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine.jpg.webp 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-800x533.jpg.webp 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-400x267.jpg.webp 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-768x512.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-600x400.jpg.webp 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine.jpg\" alt=\"apex tactical extended magazine\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thearmorylife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/apex-tactical-extended-magazine-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\"\/>\n<\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shown is a 19-round Apex magazine for the <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span>, along with the Low Profile Magwell from Apex.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cBy changing the shape of the trigger with this kit, Apex offers a feel the modern shooter will appreciate. It\u2019s not better than the traditional curved shape, but I love the way it feels,\u201d he said. \u201cSome shooters will prefer the traditional look of the <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> as it comes from Springfield, but others will like the more modern feel and look of the Apex parts. But everyone will like the way this Apex kit shoots.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Regarding the magwell, he had this to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor competitive shooters, we need to be able to reload as quickly as possible. For decades, we addressed this by heating up frame and swaging it wider or welding on a piece and cutting it out,\u201d he explained.\u00a0\u201cThe problem is this is hard to do and shortens what many think is the perfect grip length. Apex Tactical solved this issue with their Low Profile Magwell. It\u2019s expertly executed, but that\u2019s no surprise. After all, master class shooters and gunsmiths are in charge there.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>I would agree wholeheartedly with Rob\u2019s assessment of the Apex Tactical <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> enhancements. After my range day, I can confidently check off the \u201creliability\u201d test as I had zero issues with the pistol. Any time we adjust, add to or modify factory firearms, there\u2019s a real chance of introducing a problem or issue. Needless to say, I am pleased to see reliability still reigning supreme.<\/p>\n<p>The Apex Tactical <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span> enhancements are well worth a look if you want to squeeze every bit of performance out of your pistol. It will give you a familiar yet enhanced feel on the range, and these products are sure to last a lifetime in my opinion.<\/p>\n<p>Give Apex Tactical a look if you own or are interested in owning an <span class=\"nowrap\">SA-35<\/span>. Be sure to also check out their robust lineup up Hellcat products and keep an eye out for future releases!<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: Please be sure to check out The Armory Life Forum, where you can comment about our daily articles, as well as just talk guns and gear.
