M&P M2.0 Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit (Color Options)
The Apex Tactical Specialties Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit is a full trigger system upgrade for Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 polymer-frame pistols. Choose your color variant (Black or Red)—performance is the same. This patented-style forward set system is engineered to provide a smooth, consistent trigger pull with the advantages of shorter over-travel and a shortened trigger reset, while maintaining factory safety values through a center-mounted pivoting safety.
What it’s for / why it matters: If you want your M2.0 to run cleaner at speed—less wasted movement, a more defined wall, and a faster reset—this kit tightens up the entire feel of the trigger press. It also includes multiple spring options so you can tune trigger pull weight from a duty/carry-appropriate setup down to lighter competition-style weights (spring choice matters—test thoroughly).
Manufacturer-designed performance (varies by pistol and spring setup):
- 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
- Center-mounted pivoting safety maintains factory safety values
- Direct drop-in replacement parts, no fitting required
