Let’s be straight with you. If you’ve spent any time behind a factory Smith & Wesson M&P trigger, you know the stock setup has a lot of take-up, a mushy wall, and a break that feels like it’s dragging through wet concrete. It works. It’s safe. But it’s not what most shooters would call crisp. That’s where this Apex Tactical kit comes in.

This isn’t some gimmick. Apex Tactical has been building reliable, duty-grade trigger components for years, and the 100067 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is one of their best offerings for the M&P platform. It’s a complete drop-in assembly. No filing, no fitting, no sending your frame off to a gunsmith. You open the box, pull your factory trigger group, drop this in, and you’re done. If you can field strip your M&P, you can install this kit. It’s that simple.

What you get is a trigger that sets the break point farther forward than the factory setup. That means your finger rests in a more natural, consistent position—especially useful if you’ve got longer fingers or you’re used to a 1911-style trigger. The uptake is dramatically reduced. So is overtravel. The result is a trigger pull that feels like a good 1911, but in a polymer striker-fired gun. Smooth, predictable, and repeatable.

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 will hold up to years of dry fire, range sessions, and carry use. The face is smooth, and it comes with a center pivoting safety that works exactly like the factory trigger safety, so you’re not giving up anything in terms of safety.

The kit includes two trigger return springs. The silver spring gives you about a 4.0 lb pull. The green spring brings it up to about 5.0 lbs. That’s your choice. Want a lighter trigger for competition or range work? Run the silver. Carrying the gun or want a bit more margin? Use the green. Both springs produce a trigger pull that’s clean, with a distinct wall and a crisp break. No grittiness, no stacking.

We’ve had customers in Des Moines put these through everything from IDPA matches to winter carry classes. They hold up. The reset is positive and audible—you’ll feel and hear it click back into place. That’s a huge help when you’re shooting fast or under stress.

One thing we always tell folks: this kit doesn’t mess with the trigger pull weight by itself. You get the two springs, but the sear geometry and trigger design are what really clean up the pull. The 4-5 lb range is ideal for most shooters—light enough to shoot accurately, heavy enough to stay safe in a holster.

If you’re running an M&P 9, M&P 40, M&P 45, or any of the compact or Shield variants that share the same trigger group, this kit will work. Double-check your model number, but Apex Tactical has done a solid job keeping compatibility broad.

We stock these here at Iowa Gun Shop in Des Moines. If you’re local, swing by and feel one on a demo gun. If you’re not local, no worries—we ship to all 50 states through a licensed FFL. Just make sure your receiving dealer is set up to accept the transfer. We’ll take care of the rest.
