If you already have an Apex Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit installed in your M&P and would like to upgrade the trigger only, you only need the Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger.
What It Does
Designed to work in any Smith & Wesson M&P model pistol in a centerfire caliber, the Apex Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit reduces trigger pre-travel and over-travel, while allowing the shooter to position their finger at an increased leverage point lower on the trigger face to take advantage of lower trigger pull weights.
NOTE: As of May 15th, 2018, this trigger kit is legal for use in USPSA’s Production Division (please see Appendix D4, section 21.6, of the USPSA Production Division rules).
Expected Results
– Trigger pull weight between the 3lb (silver spring) and 4lb (green spring) mark (Dependent on trigger return spring installed)
– Smooth uptake and reset
– Reduced trigger pre-travel and over travel to produce a feel similar to a single action fire control system
– Overall reduction in trigger travel is approximately 50%
– Reduced reset
– Center mounted pivoting safety maintains factory safety values

Notes
This particular product usually requires a slight modification to the trigger bar loop for proper function. Please see the Trigger Bar Loop Adjustment video on how to tune the trigger bar.
*This kit REQUIRES the use of the larger 1/8 inch sear spring and plunger set up. If your M&P has a 1/16th inch diameter sear plunger and spring, we strongly advise you upgrade to a new style sear housing block before installing this product. All function and reliability testing was done with a 1/8 inch sear plunger and spring, therefore we cannot guarantee proper function without the appropriate size sear plunger and spring. Modern sear housing blocks can be found on Brownells.com and other online firearms product retailers.
