Apex Tactical 100167 Forward Set Sear & Curved Trigger Kit for S&W M&P 2.0 - 3-4 lbs Draw Weight

The Apex Tactical 100167 Forward Set Sear & Curved Trigger Kit transforms the S&W M&P 2.0 trigger into a competition-grade control that rivals custom 1911s in feel and reset. Smith & Wesson's factory M2.0 trigger was a genuine step forward, but it still carries the compromises of a production part. This kit strips those away: you get a noticeably smoother, more consistent pull with significantly reduced overtravel and a reset point that shoots back almost to the break. The result is faster, more confident follow-up shots in any discipline—duty, sport, or defensive work.

What makes this trigger special is the engineering underneath. The forward-set sear design is the key: it shortens total trigger travel to something you'd expect in a hand-fitted 1911, not a duty pistol. The curved trigger face is a practical touch for shooters with smaller hands or those who prefer a shorter reach to the break. Pull weight sits between 3 and 4 pounds depending on which return spring you choose during installation, giving you tuning options. The safety architecture stays completely stock—all the OEM safeties you trust remain intact and functional.

Installation is straightforward drop-in (no fitting or filing), but Apex and we both recommend having a qualified gunsmith or armorer do the work. This ensures proper function and eliminates any possibility of fitment issues. A critical note: this kit is engineered for M&P 2.0 models only. It will not install in original M&P or M&P Shield pistols.
