Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for Polymer Frame M&P M2.0

Description

Living on the Florida coast means dealing with humidity, salt air, and sweat — three things that can destroy a standard trigger over time. That is why this Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for Polymer Frame M&P M2.0 is built with corrosion-resistant finishes that hold up to the daily wear of coastal carry. At $180, this drop-in kit from Apex delivers a measurable upgrade in trigger performance without requiring a gunsmith or fitting.

The patented Forward Set design reduces trigger travel by approximately 40%, giving you a shorter, cleaner pull from holster to target. You will feel a smooth uptake, a crisp break, and a noticeably shorter reset. Trigger pull weight drops by roughly 2 lbs compared to factory specifications, but you can adjust it within a range suitable for duty, concealed carry, or competition by using the included Apex springs with your factory sear and trigger return springs. This means you keep reliability while gaining control.

Key performance improvements:

• Reduces trigger pull weight by approximately 2 lbs
• Reduces overall trigger travel by approximately 40%
• Shortens pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance
• Delivers a smooth uptake and positive reset with a crisp break
• Center-mounted pivoting safety maintains factory safety values
• Direct drop-in replacement parts — no fitting or modification required

This kit uses the Type 3 trigger design. It features chamfers at the front corners instead of the radius found on classic triggers, which gives a slightly narrower feel without changing any functional surfaces. There are also decorative face cuts on the visible sides. The performance is identical to the classic line — only the look is different. The trigger has been tested drop-safe per Apex’s protocol for each size and configuration of the M&P M2.0 this kit fits. Note that anodize processing can cause slight color variation from one trigger to the next.

Fitment details: Designed specifically for Polymer Frame Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 pistols. If you carry a full-size, compact, or subcompact M2.0, this kit drops right in. It is not compatible with original M&P 1.0 frames or metal-frame models.

For anyone who carries daily along the Gulf or Atlantic coast, this trigger kit gives you a corrosion-resistant upgrade that improves control, shortens reset, and keeps your carry gun reliable in the heat. No guesswork, no fitting — just a better trigger for your M&P M2.0.
