Description
The M2.0's factory trigger is plenty serviceable, but the Apex Action Enhancement kit takes it to another level entirely. This is a complete replacement package that swaps out the factory hinged trigger for a solid polymer trigger body with a center-mounted pivoting safety. The rounded trigger face feels more comfortable during extended shooting, and you'll notice the uptake is noticeably smoother once you get behind it.
What the Apex Polymer Trigger Kit actually does
Everything in this kit works together to give you a 5.0 to 5.5 lb trigger pull that's tuned for duty and carry work. You're looking at roughly a 1 lb reduction from stock, shorter over-travel, and a quicker reset that makes follow-up shots feel snappier. The pre-travel and over-travel get trimmed by about 20 percent, which means less slop and more confidence in your press. Most guys find it threads the needle between competition-light and service-appropriate.
Spring options let you dial in the pull weight
The kit ships with both a Heavy Duty sear spring and a lighter Duty/Carry trigger return spring, plus a 1/8" sear spring for flexibility. You can mix and match these with the factory springs to fine-tune your pull weight anywhere from under 4 lbs to over 6 lbs depending on how you set it up. This modular approach means you're not stuck with one feel if the initial setup doesn't match your preferences.
Installation and compatibility
It's engineered as a drop-in kit and works with all M2.0 polymer frame models in 9mm and .40 S&W, including full size, standard, compact, and subcompact. The kit includes the Talon Tactical installation tool and slave pin you'll need for teardown and assembly. While technically drop-in, professional installation by an armorer or gunsmith is recommended since the sear and striker block are precision parts. Not compatible with Shield models or the M2.0 Metal Series.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Apex Polymer Trigger Kit actually lighten the pull weight?
The kit reduces pull weight by approximately 1 lb from factory, bringing the M2.0 down from around 5.5 lbs to a 5.0 to 5.5 lb range depending on your spring selection. Using the included spring options, you can tune it further to sit anywhere from under 4 lbs up to 6 lbs, so you're not locked into a single feel.
Can I install the Apex Polymer Trigger Kit myself?
While it's designed as a drop-in kit without fitting requirements, installation by an experienced armorer or gunsmith is recommended since the sear and striker block are precision components that need proper alignment and function verification. The kit includes the Talon Tactical tool you'll need for the job, and Apex provides detailed installation resources on their website.
Is this kit compatible with all M2.0 models?
The kit works with all M&P M2.0 polymer frame pistols in 9mm and .40 S&W, including full size, standard, compact, and subcompact versions. It's not compatible with Shield models or the M2.0 Metal Series versions, so verify your specific model before ordering.
What makes the reset feel faster with the Apex kit?
The kit combines a fully machined sear with purpose-designed spring options that reduce the distance the trigger has to travel to reset and re-engage. This shorter reset path translates to quicker follow-up shots and better split times when you're working the trigger deliberately.
