I believe so BUT never did a comparison. When I first got my gun, I loved everything about it accept the trigger travel/resistance. I started the mod journey like most by installing an Apex. Continued journey researching and came upon PRP kit - liked idea of replacing major contact points (polished contacts prior to replacement parts with no difference). At same time, replaced Apex trigger with PRPs since it was metal vice plastic. After PRP kit installation, the trigger wall/stop before fire disappeared which turned into a rolling pull, same travel still existed though. Once again through research, I happened upon Mcarbo titanium striker and it’s lug design made since. Installed it and travel was reduced by at least 1/8” if not more. Anyway, no regrets with PRP or Mcarbo upgrades and Apex was only an $80 loss. Not bashing Apex, think it’s a nice upgrade for those who like/want a flat faced trigger.
