If you’ve spent any time behind an M&P 2.0, you already know the factory trigger leaves room for improvement. That hinged shoe moves around, stacks up, and generally reminds you it’s a service pistol. The Apex Tactical 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit changes that. Apex has been building better triggers for Smith & Wesson pistols longer than most shops have been open, and this kit is the result of real-world testing—not marketing hype.
This kit replaces the entire factory hinged trigger assembly with a solid, machined aluminum flat trigger. The pivoting safety blade is center-mounted, so it doesn’t dig into your finger, and it keeps all factory safety values intact. You get a trigger that sits forward in the trigger guard, which naturally puts your finger in a better position for consistent press. That forward set geometry is the key—it shortens the reach, reduces pre-travel, and cuts over-travel without messing with the sear engagement in a way that makes you nervous.
Pull weight ends up right in the sweet spot for a top-tier service pistol. Not so light you worry about bump-firing, not so heavy you’re fighting the gun. The real advantage is the reset. Apex shortened it up, so you feel a crisp, audible, and tactile reset that lets you stay on target. For follow-up shots, that’s the difference between “good enough” and “I can do that again.”
Everything in the kit is designed to drop in. No filing, no stoning, no guesswork. That said, we’re in Billings, Montana, and we know a thing or two about tools and guns. If you’re comfortable detail-stripping your M&P, you can handle this install. If you’d rather have a gunsmith do it, that’s smart too. We don’t ship guns out of our shop that haven’t been function-checked, and we recommend you do the same after installation. It’s not required, but it’s the right way to do it.
This kit fits the Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 in 9mm, .40, and .45—full-size, compact, and Shield Plus models excepted. Double-check your model before ordering, but if you’ve got a standard 2.0, you’re good. The flat trigger shoe is red, which stands out against the black frame and gives the gun a clean, purpose-built look.
