Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for Aluminum Frame M&P M2.0

This Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit is engineered specifically for aluminum frame M&P M2.0 pistols. It addresses the factory trigger’s long travel, heavy pull weight, and vague reset by reducing overall trigger travel by approximately 40% and pull weight by roughly 2 lbs. The kit delivers a smooth uptake, crisp break, and shortened reset — allowing faster follow-up shots without sacrificing factory safety values. Important: This component is currently certified for aluminum frame M&P M2.0 variants only. Steel frame models are undergoing drop testing; until certification is confirmed, do not install this kit in steel frame M&P pistols.

FAQ

Will this kit work in my M&P M2.0 steel frame?

Not at this time. The kit is currently certified for aluminum frame M&P M2.0 pistols only. Steel frame models are undergoing drop testing. Do not install in steel frame pistols until certification is confirmed.

What trigger pull weight can I expect after installation?

Approximately 2 lbs reduction from factory. Using the included Apex springs with factory sear and trigger return springs yields a pull weight suitable for duty/carry. For competition use, further reduction is possible with optional spring swaps (not included).

Does this kit require any permanent modification to my pistol?

No. All parts are direct drop-in replacements. No filing, stoning, or permanent alteration needed. The kit can be removed and factory parts reinstalled without issue.
