Important Fitment Note: This kit is currently certified only for aluminum frame M&P M2.0 pistols. It has passed drop testing per Apex’s protocol in all specified sizes and configurations. Steel frame models are in the process of being drop-tested; until that testing is complete and certification is issued, we strongly recommend against installing this kit in steel frame M&P M2.0 pistols.
The patented Apex Forward Set design is engineered to deliver a smooth, consistent trigger pull with reduced over-travel and a shorter reset. By combining Apex springs with the factory sear and trigger return springs, you can adjust the pull weight within a range suitable for duty or carry applications down to a competition-friendly weight.
- Reduces trigger pull weight by approximately 2 lbs. – A noticeable drop that helps maintain control during rapid fire without sacrificing reliability.
- Reduces overall trigger travel by approximately 40%. – Less wasted motion means faster follow-up shots and a more direct connection to the shot break.
- Shortens pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance. – Each stage of the pull is tighter and more predictable, allowing you to stay on target with less effort.
- Smooth uptake and reset. – The gritty stack common to factory triggers is replaced by a clean, consistent feel from start to reset.
- Crisp trigger break. – A defined wall and clean let-off give you confidence in your shot timing.
- Maintains factory safety values with a center-mounted pivoting safety – Drop-safe performance is preserved, and the kit has been tested to Apex’s drop test protocol.
- Direct drop-in replacement parts – No fitting, filing, or gunsmithing required. Install it yourself in minutes.
Type 3 Trigger Design Details
This version features a visually distinct Type 3 trigger. The front corners are chamfered rather than radiused, which provides a narrower feel in the trigger guard without altering the mechanical engagement surfaces. Additional decorative face cuts on the visible sides give it a clean, modern look. Performance remains identical to the classic Apex line — the change is purely aesthetic.
