The Apex Tactical Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit for S&W M&P gives competitive shooters and serious carry users a trigger system engineered for precision, safety, and reliability. This complete kit reshapes how your M&P breaks, resets, and handles—delivering the crisp, predictable pull that separates match winners from the pack without compromising the control you need in duty or self-defense scenarios.
Built around Apex's forward set sear design, this trigger system reduces pre-travel and over-travel by dropping the striker at a point farther forward than the factory sear. That translates to a shorter, more efficient trigger stroke with a smooth uptake and reset. The striker block features an improved radius on its face that eliminates most false reset issues, giving you confidence that every press is clean. A center-mounted pivoting safety bar acts as an intelligent trigger block—it won't disengage unless your finger is positioned squarely on the center of the trigger, encouraging safe manipulation directly in line with the bore axis.
What you get in the box is everything needed for a complete trigger system overhaul: the forward set sear, trigger housing, striker block kit (striker block, spring, and talon tactical tool), and a spring kit with 4 and 5.5-pound trigger return springs, install tool, sear spring, and ram spring. Choose your pull weight based on your mission—4 pounds for competition, 5.5 for duty or carry. This kit works with all standard-size Smith & Wesson M&P pistols chambered in any centerfire caliber, and it's built to handle whatever configuration you're running.
Apex engineered this trigger to be as safe as it is fast. The striker block system is proven reliable across thousands of rounds, and the improved geometry removes the guesswork from reset. If you're serious about your M&P's performance on the range or in the field, this is the upgrade that delivers.
| Brand | Apex Tactical Specialties |
| Firearm Compatibility | Smith & Wesson M&P (all centerfire calibers and configurations, except M&P Shield) |
| Trigger Pull Weight Options | 4 lbs (competition) or 5.5 lbs (duty/carry) |
| Total Trigger Travel | 0.120 inches |
| Kit Contents | Forward set sear, trigger, striker block, striker block spring, talon tactical tool, 4 lb trigger return spring, 5.5 lb trigger return spring, spring install tool, sear spring, ram spring |
| Sear Housing Requirement | Large size sear plunger and spring design (current production as of June 2011 and later) |
The Apex Tactical Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is compatible with all Smith & Wesson M&P pistols in any centerfire caliber and configuration—with one exception: it does not fit the M&P Shield. It also requires the large size sear plunger and spring design found in current production firearms (June 2011 and later). If your M&P is older or you're unsure of your sear housing type, verify the sear plunger size before ordering.
This kit ships with springs for both 4-pound and 5.5-pound pulls. The 4-pound option is designed for competition shooters who want a light, responsive trigger for timed events and accuracy work. The 5.5-pound option is better suited for duty or carry use, where a slightly heavier pull provides additional margin against unintended discharge in high-stress situations or during equipment transitions.
The complete kit includes the forward set sear, trigger, striker block assembly, both trigger return springs, spring install tool, sear spring, ram spring, and Apex's talon tactical tool for striker block installation. The talon tool makes installation field-friendly, though you may want to consult Apex's installation resources or have an armorer assist if you're unfamiliar with M&P trigger work.
The forward set sear drops the striker at a point farther forward than the factory sear, which shortens the overall trigger stroke and reduces pre-travel and over-travel. Combined with the improved radius on the striker block face, this design produces a smooth, predictable pull with crisp reset and eliminates most false reset issues that can plague factory M&P triggers.
