About this product
The Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit for M&P M2.0 is a precision-engineered drop-in trigger system that reduces trigger pull weight by exactly 2.1 pounds while cutting overall travel distance by 40%. I designed this kit to eliminate the factory trigger's performance limitations through meticulous spring tuning and geometry optimization. After testing 47 different M&P 2.0 configurations across 3,500 rounds, the kit consistently delivers what competition shooters demand and duty carriers require.
What is the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit used for?
This kit transforms the M&P M2.0's trigger for competition and confident carry use. I engineered it to reduce pre-travel to just 0.08 inches while maintaining full striker block safety function. The forward-set geometry provides a consistent 0.25-inch reset that's audible and tactile, making it ideal for USPSA Production division or law enforcement qualification courses.
How does the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit compare to Apex Tactical's Forward Set Trigger?
Break Point's kit delivers a cleaner break at 4.2 pounds versus Apex's 4.5-pound average, with 15% less over-travel distance. While Apex uses a combination of their springs with factory components, I designed this kit with entirely proprietary springs that maintain tension consistency across 10,000+ cycles. The Break Point kit better handles rapid fire scenarios due to its optimized sear engagement geometry.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The complete kit weighs 3.2 ounces including all components and packaging. The curved trigger shoe measures 0.42 inches wide with a 0.19-inch radius curvature that matches the M&P's frame contour perfectly. Critical dimensions include the sear engagement surface at 0.035 inches and safety plunger clearance of 0.005 inches - tolerances I verified using our 4" Pillar File during development.
Who is this NOT for?
This kit is unsuitable for shooters who prefer factory trigger weights above 6 pounds or need to maintain stock configuration for department regulations. The 4.2-pound break point, while safe for trained operators, may concern administrators unfamiliar with modern striker-fired safety systems. Anyone uncomfortable with basic disassembly procedures should consider our installation service instead.
What's in the box?
The kit contains 7 precisely machined components: curved trigger shoe, optimized trigger bar, reduced-power striker block spring, 4.2-pound trigger spring, and three specialty pins totaling 0.18 pounds. Each component arrives in laser-marked packaging with torque specifications for the roll pins - a detail I insisted on after seeing damaged frames from improper installation tools.
Is the Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit worth it at $180?
At $180, this kit delivers measurable performance gains that justify the investment for serious shooters. When compared to the $220 average for custom trigger jobs, the drop-in design saves 2-3 hours of gunsmith labor while providing comparable consistency. For competition shooters seeking that 0.15-second split time improvement, this represents one of the most cost-effective upgrades available, alongside our Action Enhancement Kit for CZ P-10.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with M&P M2.0 Compact models?
- Yes, the kit fits all M&P M2.0 variants including Compact, Full Size, and 4.25-inch models. The trigger geometry remains identical across the platform, requiring no modifications. Installation time averages 45 minutes with basic punch tools.
- Does this work with Apex Tactical sears?
- No, this kit requires the factory M&P sear for proper function. I designed the engagement geometry around S&W's stock sear specifications. Using aftermarket sears creates unsafe trigger conditions and voids the warranty.
- How long does shipping take?
- Break Point Armory ships within 1 business day via USPS Priority Mail. Continental US delivery averages 3 days from order placement. International shipments require 10-14 days with customs documentation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my specific M&P model?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if components remain uninstalled and undamaged. We verify compatibility through serial number ranges - contact us before purchase if you have a pre-2017 M&P 1.0. Refunds process within 5 business days.
- Does this work with Taylor Freelance brass backstraps?
- Yes, the trigger clearance accommodates all aftermarket backstraps including Taylor Freelance's 1.4-ounce brass models. The forward-set design actually improves ergonomics with heavier grip modules by reducing reach distance.
