If you’re carrying a Smith & Wesson M&P – whether it’s a full-size duty rig, a compact carry piece, or something in between – you already know the factory trigger leaves some room for improvement. That’s where Apex Tactical comes in. Based out of the Pacific Northwest, Apex has been the go-to name for M&P trigger upgrades for years, and this 100067 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is the one we recommend most often here at Kentucky Gun Shop in Louisville.
This isn’t just a spring swap. Apex completely re-engineers the trigger geometry. Dropping this kit into your M&P moves the trigger break point farther forward – think closer to the frame – so your finger sits in a more natural, repeatable position. It’s the same principle that makes a good 1911 trigger feel so crisp and controllable, but now you get that feel in a polymer-frame striker-fired pistol. The uptake is significantly reduced, overtravel is virtually eliminated, and the reset is short and positive. You get a clean, consistent pull every time.
The trigger body itself is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum and finished with a black hard-anodized coating. That’s not just for looks – it’s tough, wear-resistant, and built to hold up through thousands of rounds and holster wear. The smooth-faced trigger comes assembled with a center-pivoting safety that’s fully drop-safe and reliable. No fiddling with tiny parts or guessing at fitment. Everything is precision-machined and drops right in.
You get two trigger return springs in the box: a silver spring that gives you roughly a 4-pound pull, and a green spring that brings it up to about 5 pounds. That’s your choice, depending on what you’re doing with the gun. For a range toy or competition gun, the lighter spring is hard to beat. For a carry or duty gun, the 5-pound spring gives you that extra margin of safety while still being a massive improvement over the factory mush. Either way, the pull is smooth from take-up to break – no grit, no stacking, no surprises.
Installation is straightforward. If you’re comfortable detail-stripping your M&P, you can do this yourself in about 20 minutes. If not, any competent gunsmith can handle it. Apex provides clear instructions, and there are plenty of walkthroughs online. Just make sure you follow proper safety procedures – and if you’re not sure about anything, bring it by the shop or give us a call.
We stock these kits regularly at our Louisville location, and we ship them nationwide through our FFL network. That means no matter where you are – Kentucky, Texas, Alaska, Hawaii – we can get this trigger kit to your door. Just order through the site, and we’ll handle the rest. If you’re local, stop in and feel the difference for yourself. We’ve got one on the counter you can dry-fire.
Bottom line: If you want your M&P to shoot like a much more expensive gun, this is the part to buy. Apex Tactical knows what they’re doing, and the Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is proof. Clean break, short reset, adjustable pull weight, and built to last. It’s one of those upgrades you’ll wonder why you didn’t do sooner.
