Elevate your Smith & Wesson M&P performance with the Apex Tactical Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear Trigger Kit — the ultimate drop-in upgrade for a crisp, smooth, competition-ready trigger pull. Engineered for M&P pistols (including M2.0 models in 9mm, .40 S&W, .45 ACP, and more), this patented kit replaces the factory hinged trigger and sear components with a precision-machined flat-faced aluminum trigger body and forward-set sear actuator.
This is the premier trigger kit for the M&P, taking a standard striker-fired trigger pull and elevating it to a trigger as close to that in a single-action 1911 that you can get in a polymer duty gun. This patented kit is engineered to provide the M&P pistol owner with a smooth, consistent trigger pull with the advantages of shorter over-travel and shortened trigger reset. Using a combination of the Apex springs and factory sear and trigger return springs allows the user to set the trigger pull weight within a range suitable for duty/carry down to a weight desired for competition.
This drop-in trigger kit will:
- Reduce trigger pull weight to approx. 3 to 4 lbs.
- Reduce overall trigger travel by approximately 40%
- Reduce trigger pre-travel, over-travel and reset distance
- Smooth the uptake and reset
- Deliver a crisp trigger break
- Maintain factory safety values with a center mounted pivoting safety
- Direct drop-in replacement parts, not fitting required
