The stock trigger on the original M&P is the one thing most owners wish they could change, and this is the kit that fixes it. The Apex Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit replaces the factory trigger and sear to cut pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance, trimming overall trigger travel by roughly half. The result is a short, clean pull that breaks somewhere between 3 and 4 pounds depending on which included trigger return spring you install. People who run this kit consistently describe the difference as night and day, with a feel that gets surprisingly close to a tuned single action in a polymer striker-fired pistol.
The black aluminum flat-faced trigger does more than look sharp. The flat profile lets you set your finger lower on the trigger face, which gives you extra leverage and makes the pull feel even lighter than the scale says. It also encourages a more consistent finger placement shot to shot, which is a real help when you are trying to tighten up groups or shave time between splits. The center-mounted pivoting safety keeps the factory safety function working exactly as designed, so you are not giving anything up to get the better pull.
This kit is for the original Smith & Wesson M&P series in centerfire calibers like 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP. It does not fit M2.0 models, any Shield, the Bodyguard, or the M&P 22 pistols. One thing worth knowing before you order: it requires the sear housing block built for the large sear plunger and spring, which is standard on pistols made from June 2011 onward. If yours is older, plan on picking up the updated sear housing block too. Installation is manageable at home with a punch set, a small hammer, and a bench vise, and Apex has detailed walkthrough videos that make the job a lot easier. The trigger bar loop sometimes needs a minor fitting tweak, so if you are not comfortable with that, any competent gunsmith can knock it out quickly.
Whether you compete, train hard at the range, or just want your M&P to shoot the way it always should have, this is the upgrade that transforms the gun. It is one of the most popular M&P modifications out there for good reason.
No. This kit is built specifically for the original first generation M&P series in centerfire calibers. It will not function in the M2.0, any Shield model, the Bodyguard, or the M&P 22 pistols. Apex makes separate trigger kits for those guns, so check the M2.0 and Shield specific versions if that is what you carry.
Quite a bit. Total trigger travel drops by roughly 50%, and pull weight lands between about 3 pounds and 4 pounds depending on which of the two included trigger return springs you run. The lighter spring suits competition work while the heavier option is a better fit for general range and duty-style use. The overall feel is short and crisp, much closer to a single action than the spongy factory pull.
Plenty of owners install it at home with a punch set, a small hammer, and a vise, and Apex publishes step-by-step install videos that walk through the whole process. Keep in mind the striker block sits under the rear sight, so the sight needs to come off during installation. The trigger bar loop also sometimes needs a slight fitting adjustment, so if any of that sounds outside your comfort zone, a gunsmith can handle the job in short order.
It can, but you will need one extra part. Smith & Wesson changed the sear plunger and spring size in June 2011, and this kit requires the sear housing block made for the larger plunger. If your pistol predates that change, pick up the current-style sear housing block assembly and you are good to go.
No. The Apex trigger uses a center-mounted pivoting safety that maintains the factory safety values, so the gun retains its designed safety function. You get the shorter, lighter pull without deleting anything the pistol was built with.
The flat face lets you place your trigger finger lower on the trigger, which increases leverage and makes the pull feel lighter than it measures. It also promotes consistent finger placement from shot to shot, which many competitive and precision-minded folks prefer. Performance between the flat and curved Apex triggers is comparable, so it largely comes down to which shape feels better on your finger.
