Apex Tactical 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit Red Flat Trigger Fits S&W M&P 2.0

Apex Tactical 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit – Red Flat Trigger for S&W M&P 2.0

We’re gonna keep this straight. If you own a Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 and you’ve been fighting that factory hinged trigger, this is the fix. The Apex Tactical Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit – part number 100153 – replaces that clunky factory setup with a solid, machined aluminum flat trigger. And yeah, it’s red. Not just for looks, but you won’t miss it when you’re lining up a shot.

Here at Kentucky Gun Shop in Louisville, we see a lot of M&P 2.0s come through the door. Guys and gals want something that feels more like a custom 1911 or a high-end competition rig without sending the pistol off to a smith for three months. Apex Tactical builds these kits to drop right in. No filing, no fitting, no sending the slide off to someone else. You open the box, follow the instructions, and it goes in. That said – and I’ll say it like I’d say it at the counter – if you’re not comfortable with trigger work, have a gunsmith or armorer do it. We’ve got guys who can handle that, or you can bring it to your local shop. But for most folks with a punch set and a little patience, this is a Saturday afternoon job.

Let’s talk about what changes. The factory M&P 2.0 trigger has that hinged design that stacks and creeps. It’s safe, sure, but it’s not fast. Apex Tactical engineers this kit to reduce pre-travel and over-travel. You get a shorter, cleaner pull with a reset you can actually feel. The trigger itself uses a center-mounted pivoting safety – same safety values as factory, so you’re not losing anything on the safety side. You’re just getting a better break and a faster reset. In practical terms, that means faster follow-up shots and less chance of pulling a shot because the trigger stack caught you off guard.

The forward set design is the real deal. It moves the trigger’s engagement point closer to the frame, which puts your finger in a more natural position. If you’ve got short fingers or you run a high grip, you’ll notice it immediately. The pull weight stays within service pistol range – this isn’t a hair-trigger race gun setup. It’s a duty-grade kit that gives you consistency. Apex Tactical knows what they’re doing; they’ve been making M&P triggers better for years, and this kit is one of their best.

Price on this kit is $198.55. That’s a fair number for what you’re getting: a machined aluminum trigger, a sear, and all the springs you need. Compare that to sending your gun off for a trigger job that costs twice as much and takes weeks. This is a smarter play. And since it’s drop-in, you’re not married to a gunsmith’s schedule.

We ship nationwide from Louisville, Kentucky. Doesn’t matter if you’re in Anchorage, Honolulu, or right down the street in the Highlands – we can get this to you. We’re a licensed FFL dealer, and we ship to all 50 states. You’ll need to have the kit sent to your local FFL for transfer if it’s a firearm, but this is just the trigger kit – so it ships direct to your door. No extra hoops. Just order it, get it in a few days, and install it when you’re ready.

A couple of things to keep in mind. This kit fits the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 series. If you’ve got a first-gen M&P or an M&P Shield, this isn’t the right part. Double-check your model before you order. Also, while it’s drop-in, we’ve seen some folks need to adjust the over-travel screw a little. Apex includes instructions for that. Take your time, use a little thread locker, and you’re golden.

We stock these because they work. We’ve sold dozens out of our Louisville shop, and we’ve put them in our own guns. The reset is crisp, the trigger face is flat and comfortable, and that red anodized finish holds up to holster wear. If you shoot your M&P 2.0 in competition, carry it on duty, or just want a better trigger for the range, this is a solid upgrade.

Order from Kentucky Gun Shop. We’ll get it out the door fast, shipped to your door anywhere in the USA. No gimmicks, no hype – just a better trigger from Apex Tactical, sold by folks who actually shoot what they sell.
