Description

The Apex Forward Set Trigger Kit transforms the M&P M2.0's factory hinged trigger into a solid aluminum flat-faced unit engineered for serious performance. You get a direct drop-in replacement that handles all the geometry changes internally, so there's no frame modification required. The flat trigger shoe gives you better finger placement and a straight-back press compared to the stock curved trigger.

What Makes the Forward Set Design Work

Apex's patented forward set sear actuator is the real game-changer here. It repositions the trigger break point farther forward in the guard, which shortens your reach and cuts pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance significantly. In real terms, that means about 40% less trigger travel overall and a reset that's noticeably faster for follow-up shots. Combined with the flat face, the trigger feels crisp and delivers consistent feedback every time you press.

Tunable Spring System for Your Setup

The kit ships with multiple spring options so you can dial in the pull weight to match your needs. Duty/carry configurations run heavier for reliability, while stacking the lighter springs gets you down to competition weights. Most users find themselves somewhere in the 4 to 5 pound range depending on which spring combination they choose. The included Apex striker block kit improves the radius on the striker block face, which smooths out the take-up and nearly eliminates false reset issues you might see with stock components.

Installation and Safety

While technically a drop-in kit, Apex recommends professional armorer installation to ensure everything functions reliably. The kit includes all necessary components: the aluminum trigger body, forward set sear actuator, fully machined 2-dot sear, striker block assembly, spring options, and a sight tool for any needed adjustments. Factory safety features remain intact through the center-mounted pivoting safety, so carry reliability is maintained.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to remove the factory over-travel stop to install this trigger kit?

Yes, the factory over-travel stop needs to be removed before installation. The Apex Forward Set Trigger Kit includes a fixed over-travel stop that will interfere if the factory piece remains in place. This won't make your pistol dirtier or affect reliability, but it's essential to remove the factory stop completely.

Can I adjust the trigger pull weight with this kit?

Absolutely. The kit includes two sear springs and two trigger return springs, giving you multiple weight options. By mixing Apex springs with factory springs, you can dial in pull weight ranging from about 4 to 5 pounds. Most shooters experiment to find their preferred combination for their intended use.

Will this kit work on my original M&P or M&P Shield?

No, this kit is designed specifically for the M&P M2.0 polymer frame models only. It's not compatible with first-generation M&P pistols, any Shield model, or the aluminum-frame M&P M2.0 Metal Series. Make sure you have an M2.0 before ordering.

Is professional installation required for this trigger kit?

While Apex designed this as a drop-in kit that doesn't require frame modifications, they recommend having an armorer or gunsmith install it. Professional installation ensures all components function reliably and that you get the full benefit of the forward set geometry. Many owners take their pistol to a local shop for installation, which typically costs between $30 and $50.
