APEX TACTICAL SPECIALTIES
The Apex Tactical Flat Faced Forward Set Sear and Trigger Kit for S&W M&P is a complete trigger upgrade engineered to transform your factory pull into a crisp, controllable action that rivals aftermarket 1911 triggers. If you're running a centerfire M&P and want lighter, cleaner breaks with less slop, this drop-in kit addresses the exact frustrations shooters encounter with stock M&P triggers: heavy pull weight, excess pre-travel, and over-travel that bleeds consistency. Apex's forward set sear geometry releases the striker at a point farther forward than factory, shortening total pull length and giving you the feel of a modern duty pistol refined to competition standards.
What sets this kit apart is the engineering underneath. The flat trigger face isn't just cosmetic—it lets you place your finger lower on the trigger for mechanical advantage, turning that lighter pull weight into measurable control gains. The included Ultimate Striker Block features an improved radius on the striker block face that smooths the entire pull cycle and, critically, eliminates the false reset issue that plagues some M&Ps out of the box. You get two trigger return spring options (3 lb. and 4 lb.) so you can dial in your preferred break weight; both are substantially lighter than factory.
This is a complete kit—aluminum trigger body, forward set sear, striker block assembly with installation tool, and both spring packs. The trade-off is straightforward: installation may require minor gunsmithing, specifically modification of the trigger bar loop. Compatibility is tight: the kit fits all S&W M&P centerfire pistols manufactured after June 2011. It does not work with M2.0, Shield, BodyGuard, or .22 LR variants. Pre-2011 M&Ps require a separate retrofit housing block (sold separately) to accept the newer sear plunger.
Fair warning on the 3 lb. spring: Apex explicitly does not recommend it for duty or carry use. The 4 lb. option gives you the same precision advantage with responsible carry safety margins.
| Brand | Apex Tactical Specialties |
| Fit | S&W M&P centerfire pistols, June 2011 and later |
| Trigger Face | Flat aluminum |
| Pull Weight Options | 3 lb. or 4 lb. (both springs included) |
| Kit Contents | Aluminum flat-faced trigger, forward set sear, Ultimate Striker Block Kit (striker block, spring, installation tool), forward set spring pack (3 lb. & 4 lb. return springs, sear spring, RAM spring, slave pin) |
| Compatibility Notes | Does not fit M2.0, Shield, BodyGuard, .22 LR models. Pre-June 2011 M&Ps require separate retrofit housing block (sold separately) |
| Installation | Drop-in (may require minor trigger bar loop modification) |
The Apex Flat Faced Forward Set Sear kit fits all S&W M&P centerfire pistols manufactured after June 2011. It is not compatible with M2.0, Shield, BodyGuard, or .22 LR models. If your M&P was made before June 2011, you'll need to purchase a separate retrofit housing block (part # 940-000-958) to make it work, since older M&Ps use a 1/16" sear plunger instead of the 1/8" required by this kit.
Both springs are included in this kit, letting you choose your preferred pull weight. The 3 lb. spring gives you the lightest break but is not recommended for duty or carry use due to safety concerns. The 4 lb. spring provides the precision advantage with safer margins for everyday carry and defensive use.
The kit is designed as a drop-in replacement, but installation may require minor gunsmithing—specifically modification of the trigger bar loop. The kit includes an installation tool to assist. If you're comfortable with basic trigger work, you may handle it yourself; otherwise, have a qualified gunsmith perform the installation.
The forward set sear releases the striker at a point farther forward than the factory sear, which shortens the total pull length. Combined with the flat trigger face and improved striker block geometry, this creates a cleaner, shorter break with less pre-travel and over-travel—delivering the kind of trigger control you'd expect from a tuned 1911, but in your M&P platform.
