Apex Tactical 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit – Red Flat Trigger for S&W M&P 2.0

Alright, let’s cut through the catalog fluff. You’ve got a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0, and you’re looking to tighten up that trigger without sending the gun off for three weeks and dropping another two hundred in gunsmith fees. We hear you. This here is the Apex Tactical 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit, and it’s about as close to a no-brainer upgrade as you’ll find for that platform.

Apex Tactical is the manufacturer, and they’ve been the go-to name for M&P trigger work for years. This kit replaces the whole factory hinged trigger assembly with a solid, machined aluminum flat trigger. That red anodized shoe isn’t just for looks—though it does stand out nice in the safe—it’s got a center-mounted pivoting safety blade that keeps all the factory safety values intact. You’re not losing anything on the safety side, just gaining a whole lot of control.

What this kit does: it reduces pre-travel and over-travel compared to that spongy stock trigger. The forward set design means the sear engagement is moved forward, which shortens the reset significantly. You pull, it breaks clean, you let off just a hair, and you’re back on the next shot. That’s the kind of reset that makes fast follow-ups feel natural, not like you’re fighting the gun. Pull weight stays in the acceptable range for a service pistol—so you’re not going too light for carry or duty use, but it’s smooth and consistent from first shot to last.

This kit is marketed as drop-in, and for most folks with basic mechanical skills, it is. But I’ll be straight with you: Apex recommends armorer or gunsmith installation, and we do too. Not because it’s hard, but because there’s a few little pins and springs that can get finicky, and if you bugger up the sear engagement, you’re gonna have a bad time. We can do the install here at Guns Warehouse for a fair price, or you can take it to your local smith. Your call.

Now, about the price: $198.55. That’s competitive for what you’re getting. You’re not buying a cheap stamped trigger shoe that’ll wobble after a few range trips. This is a precision-machined kit from a company that’s been doing this for years. The flat face gives you a consistent finger placement every time—no rolling or slipping. And that red color? It’s not just for the ‘Gram. It makes it real easy to see your trigger finger position during dry fire practice.

We get customers from all over the country ordering these. Hunters out in the Rockies who want a crisp trigger on their range gun. Competition shooters down in Texas who need that short reset for fast splits. Guys up in the Midwest running night classes who want a trigger that won’t surprise them. And yes, even folks in California and New York—we ship to all 50 states, legally, through your local FFL. That’s what we do here at Guns Warehouse. We’re a licensed FFL dealer, nationwide. You order, we ship, your local guy does the transfer. Simple as that.

One thing to keep in mind: this kit fits the S&W M&P 2.0 models. Not the original M&P, not the Shield, not the Compact without checking compatibility. If you’ve got a full-size 2.0, a 2.0 Compact, or a 2.0 Performance Center, you’re good. If you’re not sure, give us a call. We’ll ask you the right questions and get you sorted.

We stock these in the shop and ship them out fast. No backorder nonsense, no “estimated shipping in 4-6 weeks.” If it’s in stock online, we’ve got it on the shelf. We’ll get it boxed up and out the door same or next business day, depending on when you order. And because we’re an FFL, we handle all the compliance paperwork on our end. You just coordinate with your receiving dealer.

Bottom line: if you want a trigger that feels like a custom job without the custom wait or price, the Apex Tactical 100153 kit is it. It’s a solid, proven upgrade that makes your M&P 2.0 shoot better than it has any right to for the money. Red flat trigger, forward set sear, drop-in design, backed by a company that knows what they’re doing. And we’ll get it to your door, no matter which state you call home.

Order yours today. Or stop by the shop if you’re local. Either way, we’ll take care of you.
