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

This Curved Forward Set Trigger Kit is a drop-in assembly designed to reduce overall trigger travel, shorten reset distance, and provide a smoother, more consistent pull on the M&P M2.0 platform. The kit addresses the primary complaint of the factory hinged trigger—excessive pre-travel and a long, vague reset—by replacing the OEM trigger blade, sear housing block, and springs with a pivoting safety trigger and a tuned sear group. Pull weight reduction is approximately 2 lbs. from factory spec, with total trigger travel reduced by roughly 40%. The result is a predictable, crisp break with minimal over-travel and a tactile, audible reset that allows faster follow-up shots without sacrificing safety.

Compatibility

• Smith & Wesson M&P M2.0 (full-size, Compact, 5-inch, and C.O.R.E. models)
• M&P M2.0 Performance Center models (standard frame)
• Does NOT fit M&P 1.0, Shield, Shield M2.0, or M&P 2.0 Subcompact

Key Features

• Pull weight reduction: Approximately 2 lbs. lower than factory trigger. Final weight depends on spring selection—use factory sear spring and trigger return spring for a duty/carry pull (~4.5–5.5 lbs.), or use the included reduced springs for a competition weight (~3.5–4.5 lbs.).
• Travel reduction: Pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance reduced by roughly 40% compared to stock. Reset is shorter and more defined.
• Pivoting safety trigger: Center-mounted blade rotates on a bushing to maintain factory drop-safety performance. No modification to the striker block or sear engagement required.
• Direct drop-in: No fitting, polishing, or permanent modifications needed. Includes trigger blade, sear housing block, and two spring sets.
• Maintains factory safety values: The kit does not alter the sear engagement angle or striker block timing. It is compatible with standard M&P M2.0 holsters.

Install Difficulty: 2/5

Intermediate. Requires removal of the slide and trigger assembly from the frame. Tools needed: 1/16-inch punch, small hammer or mallet, and a non-marring tool for trigger pin removal. No fitting required—components are drop-in. Allow 15–25 minutes for first-time install. Armorer-level knowledge of the M&P frame is not required, but familiarity with trigger pin removal is helpful.

FAQ

Can I use this kit for concealed carry or duty use?

Yes. Install the factory sear spring and factory trigger return spring (included) to maintain a pull weight in the 4.5–5.5 lb. range. The pivoting safety trigger retains factory drop-safety performance. Confirm compatibility with your holster before carry.

Will this trigger work in an M&P 1.0 or Shield?

No. This kit is designed exclusively for the M&P M2.0 frame and trigger housing geometry. It will not fit the original M&P 1.0, Shield, or Shield M2.0.

What is the reset distance compared to factory?

The reset distance is reduced by approximately 40% from the factory M2.0 trigger. The reset is tactile and audible, with a positive wall after the reset point. Exact distance varies slightly by frame tolerance, but the reduction is consistent across all M2.0 models.
