Apex Tactical Specialties M&P 2.0 Flat Faced Forward Trigger Kit Polymer Purple

The Apex Tactical Specialties M&P 2.0 Flat Faced Forward Trigger Kit brings competition-grade trigger performance to your Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 duty or carry pistol. This drop-in kit pairs a flat-faced trigger with Apex's engineered forward set design to deliver a noticeably lighter, faster reset that works straight out of the box—no gunsmithing required. If you're running an M&P M2.0 in 9mm, .40 S&W, or .45 ACP and want a trigger that feels crisp and predictable, this purple polymer kit is engineered to transform how your gun breaks.

The forward set design does the heavy lifting: Apex's trigger and sear springs work alongside the factory return springs to shorten your overall trigger travel by roughly 40%, while trimming pre-travel and over-travel distance. You'll notice an immediate reduction in trigger pull weight—approximately 2 lbs lighter than stock—and a snappier, shorter reset that lets you get back on target fast. The flat-faced profile gives you better leverage and consistent pad contact compared to a curved trigger, which shooters across duty, carry, and competition applications appreciate.

The kit maintains the factory safety lever and its original function, so you're not compromising reliability or familiarity. The purple polymer construction is durable and keeps the rig feeling like your gun, just better. This is genuine Apex engineering in a straightforward installation: drop it in, function-check, and shoot. Works with the M&P M2.0 full-size and Compact models only—not original M&P or M&P Shield versions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this trigger kit fit my Smith & Wesson M&P?

No. This kit is designed exclusively for the M&P M2.0 (in 9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP, including the Compact variant). It is not compatible with the original M&P or any M&P Shield models. Verify your specific M&P generation before ordering.

How much does the trigger pull weight actually drop?

The kit reduces trigger pull weight by approximately 2 lbs compared to the factory M&P M2.0 trigger. Apex's design also allows you to adjust the pull weight within a range suitable for everything from duty and carry use down to competition weights, giving you flexibility based on your intended application.

Do I need a gunsmith to install this trigger kit?

No. This is a direct drop-in replacement. No fitting or gunsmithing is required—it goes straight into your M&P M2.0 and is ready to shoot.

What makes a flat-faced trigger different from the factory curved trigger?

A flat-faced trigger provides better leverage and more consistent contact with your trigger finger pad, which many shooters find more reliable for precise, repeatable trigger control. Combined with the forward set design and shorter reset in this kit, it contributes to faster shot placement.
