Basic Forward Set Trigger Kit for Polymer Frame M&P M2.0 Pistols

Looking for a solid trigger upgrade for your Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 polymer frame pistol without blowing your budget on extras you don’t need? This Basic Forward Set Trigger Kit from Apex is built for shooters who want a shorter, crisper trigger pull and reset, without messing with spring weights or complicated tuning. At $110, it’s a straight-up drop-in replacement that swaps out two key parts: the factory trigger and the factory sear lever. No guesswork, no gunsmithing required.

What this kit does for you:
This kit replaces the factory trigger with a solid aluminum Apex trigger body. It features a center-mounted pivoting safety, so you keep the same safe handling you expect, but with a much better feel. The included Apex Forward Set Sear Actuator is the real workhorse here. It moves the striker release point forward, which cuts total trigger travel by about 35%. That means less slack before the break, reduced over-travel, and a noticeably shorter reset compared to the factory setup. You get back on target faster, shot after shot.

• Reduced trigger travel: Approximately 35% less overall travel than factory. This includes both pre-travel and over-travel, giving you a more direct, predictable pull.
• Shortened reset: The forward set sear actuator creates a quicker, more tactile reset. You’ll feel and hear it click back into place, ready for the next round.
• Solid aluminum trigger body: Machined from aluminum and hard coat anodized for long-term durability. No plastic flex, no slop. It’s a clean, rigid replacement that holds up to heavy use.
• Direct drop-in installation: Replaces the factory trigger assembly and sear lever with no fitting or modification. Both components must be installed together — this is not a mix-and-match setup. The pistol will not function properly if you only swap one part.

What this kit does NOT do:
This is the “Basic” kit, so it’s focused on travel and reset only. It doesn’t include springs to adjust trigger pull weight, and it won’t make the pull any smoother. If you want a smoother break, you’ll need the Ultimate Striker Block (sold separately). If you want adjustable pull weight, look at the complete Forward Set Trigger Kit or add the Special Sear Kit for Basics (coming soon). This kit is designed for shooters who are fine with the factory pull weight (typically 4 to 6 pounds, depending on your specific sear and striker) but want a shorter, more responsive trigger.
