The Apex Tactical Flat Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for S&W M&P M2.0 is a drop-in replacement trigger system designed for shooters who want a faster, cleaner break and better control over factory feel. Built for the M&P M2.0 platform in any centerfire caliber and configuration—including the Compact variant—this kit transforms your duty gun, carry pistol, or competition build with a flat-faced trigger body that lets you seat your finger lower for enhanced leverage and precision.

The upgrade addresses the biggest complaints about stock M&P M2.0 triggers: mushy takeup, unpredictable breaks, and sluggish resets. Apex ships this kit with two complete spring sets so you can tune the pull weight and reset characteristics to match your mission. Run the heavier springs for duty or CCW carry, or dial in the lighter springs for match day. The forward set sear geometry cuts pre-travel and over-travel by roughly 40%, delivering a crisp break and positive reset that cuts time between rounds. The solid, flat trigger face is gentler on your finger during long strings and locks your trigger finger's position more consistently, shot to shot—a real advantage when you're working toward precision or speed.

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable taking apart an M&P M2.0 and is fully compatible with the factory trigger safety. The kit includes the trigger, forward set sear actuator, two different sear springs, two different trigger return springs, the Ultimate Striker Block Kit, and a slave pin to make reassembly easier. Because actual pull weight depends on spring selection and individual gun variances, Apex gives you the components to hit your target weight. Not compatible with original M&P models—this kit is M2.0-only.
