Description
Apex Tactical built this kit for M&P M2.0 owners who love the platform but have never loved the trigger. The stock M2.0 trigger has some travel and creep that gets in the way of accurate shooting, and this drop-in kit addresses all of it. The centerpiece is a flat-faced, forward-set trigger shoe molded in purple polymer, paired with a tuned spring set that changes how the whole fire control feels from the first bit of takeup to the reset.
The forward-set design moves the trigger face forward in the guard, which shortens the reach and lets you position your finger lower for better leverage. That geometry is what allows the lighter competition pull weights to feel controllable rather than twitchy. Working together, the kit cuts trigger pull weight by roughly two pounds and reduces overall travel by about 40 percent, trimming pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance all at once. The result is smooth uptake, a crisp break, and a short reset that comes back fast for follow-up shots.
What the Purple Polymer Forward Set Kit Actually Changes
Because it uses a combination of Apex springs alongside the factory springs, you can dial the pull weight to what suits you. Run a heavier setup for duty or carry, or go lighter for competition, all from the same box. The center-mounted pivoting safety keeps the factory safety values intact, so you are refining the trigger without giving up the M2.0's built-in safety design.
Fitment for Your M&P M2.0
This kit fits polymer-frame M&P M2.0 pistols in 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP, including Full Size, Standard, Compact, and Subcompact models. It does not fit the original M&P, any M&P Shield or Shield M2.0, or the Metal frame M2.0 series. If you have got the polymer frame gun, you are good to go.
A Word on Installation
This is a drop-in kit with no fitting required, but it is not a five-minute swap either. Plan on some time at the bench, a punch, and ideally a vise to seat the trigger pin. Apex has step-by-step video guidance that walks you through it, and folks who take their time consistently rate the finished trigger as one of the best striker-fired upgrades you can buy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Apex kit fit my M&P M2.0?
It fits polymer-frame M&P M2.0 pistols in 9mm, .40 S&W, 10mm, and .45 ACP, covering Full Size, Standard, Compact, and Subcompact models. It will not work in the original M&P, any M&P Shield or Shield M2.0, or the Metal frame M2.0 series. Check that your gun is a polymer frame M2.0 before ordering.
How much will this trigger kit reduce my pull weight?
On average it drops the pull by about two pounds and cuts overall travel by roughly 40 percent. Because it uses a mix of Apex and factory springs, you can tune the final weight to land anywhere from a heavier duty and carry setting down to a lighter competition pull. Many owners report finishing somewhere in the 3.5 to 4.5 pound range.
Is the forward set trigger kit hard to install?
It is a true drop-in with no fitting required, but it is a more involved swap than a simple parts change. You will want a punch and ideally a vise to seat the trigger pin, and Apex offers step-by-step video guidance to walk you through it. Take your time and the payoff is a noticeably better trigger.
Does this kit keep the factory safety features?
Yes. The center-mounted pivoting safety maintains the factory safety values, so you are improving feel and pull weight without altering the M2.0's built-in safety design. The kits are also tested drop safe per Apex's own protocol for the models they are specified to fit.
