Action Enhancement Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0
About this product
The Action Enhancement Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0 is a precision-engineered drop-in trigger system that reduces pull weight to 5.0-5.5 lbs while maintaining factory safety standards. This kit addresses the most common performance limitations of the stock M2.0 trigger without requiring gunsmithing expertise or permanent modifications to your firearm.
What is the Action Enhancement Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0 used for?
This kit transforms the factory M&P M2.0 trigger into a competition-ready system with predictable break and reset characteristics. I designed it specifically for USPSA Production division competitors and duty carriers who need reliable performance under stress, reducing trigger pull weight by approximately 1 lb while maintaining all factory safety mechanisms intact.
How does the Action Enhancement Trigger Kit compare to the Apex Tactical Forward Set Trigger?
The Break Point Armory kit delivers superior reset characteristics at 0.125" travel compared to Apex's 0.140" reset, though Apex offers a lighter 4.5 lb pull option. Our kit maintains a more traditional trigger geometry that better replicates muscle memory for duty transitions, making it the preferred choice for shooters who prioritize reset speed over absolute minimum pull weight.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete kit weighs 2.1 oz and measures 1.875" in length, 0.375" in width, and 0.625" in height when assembled. These dimensions ensure perfect compatibility with the M&P M2.0 trigger housing without requiring modification to the frame or slide components.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is not compatible with original M&P models using the 1/16" sear plunger system, requiring those users to upgrade their sear housing block first. It's also unsuitable for shooters seeking sub-4 lb pull weights or those who prefer the flat-faced trigger profile of our CZ P-10 enhancement kit.
What's in the box?
The kit includes one precision-machined trigger, one hardened sear, one disconnector, and two trigger return springs totaling four components. All parts are CNC-machined from 4140 steel and heat-treated to 48-50 HRC, packaged in anti-corrosion vapor barrier packaging with installation torque specifications printed on the insert.
Is the Action Enhancement Trigger Kit worth it at $110?
At $110, this kit delivers measurable performance improvements that typically require $200+ in gunsmithing services to achieve through hand-fitting. The 20% reduction in pre-travel and over-travel translates to faster split times on timed drills, making it a cost-effective upgrade for serious shooters who've already invested in quality sights like those compatible with our 1911 ejector pin fixture.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with M&P 9mm 2.0 Compact?
- Yes, it fits all M&P M2.0 models including the 4.25" full-size and 4.0" compact versions. The trigger geometry remains identical across all M2.0 platforms regardless of caliber or barrel length.
- Does it work with Apex Tactical sear springs?
- It functions optimally with factory 1/8" sear springs, though Apex's upgraded spring kit may alter pull weight by approximately 0.2 lbs. I recommend testing with factory springs first before considering aftermarket alternatives.
- How long does installation take?
- A competent user can complete installation in 15-20 minutes using only a 3/32" punch and hammer. No specialized tools or loctite required, though I recommend function testing for 50 dry fires before range use.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my M&P 1.0?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for uninstalled kits, but M&P 1.0 compatibility requires the updated sear housing block available from Brownells (part #100-008-394). We cannot guarantee performance without this $45 upgrade component.
