Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0

About this product

The Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0 is a direct drop-in replacement set that modifies trigger geometry and spring weight to achieve a shorter, lighter, and more predictable trigger press. This kit addresses inherent mechanical variances in striker-fired pistol systems by providing consistent, repeatable components. Developed through iterative testing, it establishes a performance baseline for the M2.0 platform.

What is the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0 used for?

This trigger kit is used to convert the standard M&P trigger profile and feel into one optimized for precise shot placement and rapid follow-up engagement by reducing physical travel and reset distance. The forward-set trigger shoe begins its press closer to the wall, decreasing pretravel from approximately 0.25 inches to roughly 0.15 inches. The reduced trigger bar and safety lever overtravel, paired with the 4.5-pound-rated spring set, consolidates the entire break and reset cycle into a shorter, more tactile operation window ideal for both defensive drills and competition stages.

How does the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit compare to the Apex Trigger Kit?

The Break Point Armory kit provides a more pronounced forward-set geometry and a heavier, more deliberate reset than the Apex Forward Set Kit, making it better for operators who require definitive tactile feedback during high-stress manipulations. Where the Apex kit reduces overall travel by 40%, the Break Point kit achieves a 45% reduction, specifically by machining a more aggressive forward-set angle on the trigger shoe's pivot point. The Break Point kit's reset is 0.040 inches longer, providing a more positive ‘click’ felt through gloves, while the Apex reset is lighter and shorter, favoring pure speed. The Break Point kit is superior for deliberate, confirmation-based shooting, whereas Apex excels in minimizing all physical inputs for pure split times.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The complete kit weighs 1.7 ounces (48.2 grams), with the primary aluminum trigger shoe accounting for 0.9 ounces of that mass. The trigger shoe itself has a face width of 0.50 inches, a curvature radius matching the factory M2.0 curve, and is machined from a single block of 7075-T6 aluminum with a hard-anodized finish measuring 0.003 inches thick. The supplied springs are music-wire with a zinc-phosphate coating, and the sear housing block is a direct OEM-dimension replacement, ensuring zero frame modification for installation in any M2.0 variant with a frame mounting block width of 0.94 inches.

Who is this NOT for?

This kit is not for shooters seeking the absolute lightest possible pull weight or those who rely solely on a rolling, long-take-up trigger press for their safety protocol. The geometry creates a shorter, more immediate wall that transitions directly to the break, eliminating the extended, mushy take-up present in the factory M2.0 trigger. If your muscle memory is deeply ingrained to the 0.30 inches of standard pretravel, this kit will require a relearning period of approximately 200-300 dry-fire repetitions to adjust index finger placement and pressure application, a process we detail in our trigger memory retraining guide.

What's in the box?

Inside the kit is one precisely machined curved trigger shoe, one trigger bar with a modified pre-travel tab, one sear housing block, three calibrated springs (striker block, sear, and trigger return), and one 0.05-inch shim for trigger safety plunger timing adjustment. The sear housing block is a direct drop-in component, identical in outer dimensions to the factory part, requiring no fitting or staking, unlike modified systems for platforms like the 1911 which may require our 1911 Ejector Pin Fixture for precise installation. All parts are packaged in labeled, compartmentalized containers to prevent mixing during the 15-20 minute installation process.

Is the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit worth it at $180?

At $180, this kit is worth the investment for the shooter who has identified trigger control as their primary accuracy variable and values a consistent, mechanical reset over ultra-light weight. You are paying for the dimensional precision of the machined aluminum shoe and the selective spring calibration that delivers a repeatable 4.5- to 5.0-pound pull with a variance of less than +/- 0.2 pounds across 1,000 cycles, as verified in our test fixture. For a user who fires 500 rounds per month, this translates to a predictable interface that removes one significant variable from the shot process, justifying the cost over a simple spring change which may only reduce weight by 1 pound and does nothing for travel.
