Just got my DCAEK from APEX today, $94 after tax from my local gun shop.

$87.99 but Tax killed me..$6.07..

Oh well..

Anyone in the Monument/Colorado Springs interested in helping me do the install?

Planning on posting a review after install...

However...the goods..

I'd love to help but I'm up in Littleton. It's a pretty easy little project. Check out the Apex youtube videos and get a white pillow case to catch some potential flying springs.

You're going to love that thing once it's installed. Enjoy!

Thanks! I just got done watching and taking notes on the APEX Tactical YouTube Page...my only concern now at this point is reinstallation of my rear sight...I dont have a real accurate way to measure the distance to install it dead center again.

I may end up doing the lower parts myself and then having a smith do the rest..

I'm going to make a trip down to Specialty Sports here soon to talk to there guy and see what he'd run me for a simple install of the Slide portion of the kit.

When it comes to firearms, I know my limits on what I should and Shouldn't do myself and absolutely dont want to damage or ruin my weapon... Nor have to constantly Kentucky windage to get my shots on target because I buggered up my rear sight.

UPDATE:

Ended up doing the entire install with a friend...We made a witness mark to line the sights up where I had them, but I'm going to confirm on Friday when I go test fire...

It's getting a little late and I have to work tomorrow so an Installation Review will come tomorrow...but for now some pics..

Parts and field stripped M&P.

I'll get more information up about this later, didnt take step by step pics...the APEX YouTube video's do a great job of explaining and demonstrating proper installation.
