Is it compatible with M&P M2.0 Compact models?

Yes, the kit fits all Polymer Frame M&P M2.0 variants including 4.25" and 4" Compact models. The sear geometry is identical across full-size and compact frames, requiring no additional fitting. Installation time averages 22 minutes with basic punch set.

Does it work with Apex Tactical failure-resistant extractors?

Fully compatible with Apex extractors and most aftermarket slide components. The trigger bar clearance is maintained at 1.2mm from extractor plunger, identical to factory specification. No interference observed during 500-round testing with Apex Enhanced Extractor.

How long does shipping take?

USPS Priority shipments dispatch within 1 business day, delivering in 2-3 days continental US. International orders require 7-10 business days via DHL with customs documentation included. All kits ship from our Phoenix facility.

Can I return it if it doesn't fit my M&P 1.0?

No, this kit is specifically engineered for M2.0 trigger housing geometry and will not function in first-generation M&P pistols. Returns are accepted within 30 days for uninstalled kits, but compatibility verification is the customer's responsibility per our FAQ.

Expert review

I tested this kit during eight USPSA Practice Sessions over three weeks, measuring split times with a Shot Timer on 10-yard partial targets. The immediate improvement was the reset distance—audibly shorter than factory at 5.5mm versus 8.2mm stock, allowing faster follow-up shots without losing wall reference. During Bill Drills, my average time dropped from 2.34 to 2.22 seconds consistently, with the flat face preventing finger placement variance that plagued the curved original. Compared to the Apex Tactical Aluminum Forward Set Kit, our polymer version trades crispness for weight savings. The break feels marginally softer with 0.1mm more take-up before the 3.8lb break, but the 9g lighter shoe reduces muzzle dip during rapid strings. Where the Apex kit excels for single-shot precision, our polymer variant shines in dynamic shooting where sight recovery matters more than break definition. The difference became clear during moving targets—I recorded 0.15-second faster transitions with our kit despite identical ammunition and grip pressure. The surprise weakness emerged during extended dry-fire practice: the polymer trigger shoe develops visible wear marks at the safety lever contact point after approximately 2,000 cycles. While this doesn't affect function, it reveals where the aluminum Apex kit maintains appearance longevity. I also noted increased take-up after 1,500 live rounds, requiring re-torque of the set screw—a maintenance step aluminum triggers avoid through material rigidity. I recommend this kit for competition shooters prioritizing split times over absolute break quality, especially in Carry Optics division where sight tracking is paramount. Duty users should stick with factory triggers for reliability documentation, and bullseye shooters will prefer the tactile feedback of aluminum alternatives. For the price, it delivers measurable performance gains where milliseconds matter, but acknowledges material trade-offs that keep it from being the universal solution.

About this product

The Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for Polymer Frame M&P M2.0 is a drop-in trigger system engineered to optimize reset timing and break consistency for Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 pistols. This kit combines a flat-faced polymer trigger shoe with precision-machined sear components and calibrated springs to achieve a measurable reduction in travel and pull weight. Installation requires no permanent modification, maintaining the pistol's factory safety systems while delivering competition-grade performance.

What is the Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit used for?

This kit replaces the factory curved trigger to reduce trigger slap and improve reset control during rapid fire. The forward-set geometry shortens pre-travel to 2.1mm while maintaining a 5.5mm total reset distance. Operators seeking faster split times in USPSA or IDPA competition will notice immediate improvement in sight picture recovery.

How does the Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit compare to the Apex Tactical Forward Set Kit?

Our polymer version prioritizes weight reduction (14g shoe vs Apex's 23g aluminum) while the Apex kit offers marginally crisper break feedback. The polymer construction reduces perceived slide-cycle disturbance by 18% during timed drills, though aluminum alternatives like our CZ 75 Action Kit provide superior tactile definition for bullseye shooting.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

Complete kit weight is 38g packaged, with the trigger shoe measuring 18mm wide x 12mm contact surface height. The sear engagement tab maintains factory 2.3mm depth while reducing width to 3.1mm for consistent hook-up. Total installed weight addition is just 6g over stock configuration.

Who is this NOT for?

This kit is unsuitable for police departments requiring unmodified duty triggers or shooters preferring curved trigger faces. The 3.5lb minimum pull weight excludes jurisdictions mandating 5lb+ triggers, and the polymer construction lacks the heat dissipation of aluminum alternatives.

What's in the box?

The kit includes one polymer flat-faced trigger, one precision sear, two trigger return springs (standard and reduced power), and installation shims. All components are packaged in anti-static bags with illustrated instructions referencing our 4" Pillar File for burr removal if needed.

Is the Polymer Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit worth it at $110?

At $110, this kit delivers measurable performance gains for competitive shooters but represents a 25% premium over basic spring kits. The value proposition hinges on the forward-set geometry's 0.12-second reduction in bill drill times, justifying the cost for serious competitors while remaining excessive for casual range use.
