M&P M2.0 Curved Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit (Black)
The Apex Tactical Specialties Forward Set Trigger Kit (MPN: 100-167) is a drop-in performance trigger system for the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 platform. It’s engineered to deliver a smoother, more consistent trigger pull with a shorter reset and significantly reduced overall travel—while maintaining factory-style safety values through a center-mounted pivoting safety.
What it’s for / why it matters: If your M2.0 trigger feels long, gritty, or slow to reset, this kit is built to tighten the system up and make the press more predictable. You get less wasted movement, a cleaner break, and a faster return to the wall—translating to better control during rapid strings and more consistent shot placement.
Performance changes (as designed):
- Reduces trigger pull weight by approximately 2 lbs
- Reduces overall trigger travel by approximately 40%
- Reduces trigger pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance
- Smooths uptake and reset
- Delivers a crisp trigger break
- Direct drop-in replacement parts (no fitting required)
- Spring options allow tuning for duty/carry-appropriate weights down to lighter competition weights
