Apex Tactical 100179 Action Enhancement Duty/Carry Kit - Drop-in Trigger for S&W M&P 2.0, 5-5.50 lbs Draw Weight, Black Finish$156.75
Availability: In Stock
The Apex Tactical 100056 Action Enhancement Trigger & Duty/Carry Kit upgrades your Smith & Wesson M&P Shield with a refined, combat-ready trigger that transforms how the pistol breaks. Designed specifically for Shield owners who carry daily or train seriously, this kit pairs a red anodized aluminum trigger body with a complete duty/carry enhancement system. The core upgrade cuts trigger pre-travel and over-travel by roughly 20%, giving you a noticeably shorter, more predictable press—critical when reliability and consistency matter most. The kit delivers a lighter trigger pull (approximately 1–2 lbs lighter than factory, accounting for normal tolerance variation) and a more definable reset, so follow-up shots feel intuitive and fast.
The solid red trigger body replaces the factory hinged design with a smooth face and a center-mounted pivoting safety that maintains factory safety geometry. That safety bar won't disengage unless your finger is directly on the trigger face, preserving the safety margin that duty and carry demand. Apex engineered this as a drop-in kit, meaning no extensive gunsmithing should be required to install it—though pairing it with professional gunsmith installation of the Ultimate Striker Block into your slide is strongly recommended for optimal performance and peace of mind.
If you already own an M&P Shield equipped with an Apex Duty/Carry Kit, the trigger itself can be purchased separately for upgrade or replacement. Compatibility is straightforward: this kit works with all S&W M&P Shield models in 9mm and .40 caliber. Note that it does not function in the Shield .45 platform.
