Shield trigger question

How does the trigger on the Shield 2.0 compare to a Shield 1.0 with an Apex trigger kit?

It feels very similar but, but the apex doesn't have an audible click like the new 2.0 has.

I just checked my Shield 1.0 with the Apex trigger. There's an audible click, but it's not what I'd call loud. I can feel it, though, which for me is more important than hearing it.

I'm going to have to try out a 2.0. My main gripe about the 1.0 shield that I sold was its trigger and I didn't want to dump money into an Apex for fears that it wouldn't improve the gun enough for me to like it.

Apex > Factory by a large margin.

What does it cost to add an Apex trigger to a Shield. Trigger + how much average for the gunsmith?

Apex sells the full duty trigger kit for $159.95. This includes the full drop-in replacement trigger (in beautifully machined aluminum), the Apex sear (for positive trigger reset), and the necessary springs and bits to complete the job.

I did it myself. Took me about 45 minutes. I'm not a gunsmith, but I just slowly followed the instructions on their YouTube video and it came out perfectly.
