M&P RED FLAT FACE FORWARD SET TRIGGER Reviews & Ratings

The new Flat Faced Forward Set Trigger delivers a feel and performance of a factory 1911 type trigger at an approximate weight of 3.0 to 4.0 lbs. Designed to work in any Smith & Wesson M&P model pistol in a centerfire caliber(excluding Shield), the Apex Flat Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit reduces trigger pre-travel and over-travel, while allowing the shooter to position their finger at an increased leverage point lower on the trigger face to take advantage of lower trigger pull weights.

The Flat Faced Forward Set Trigger by itself is designed to work with your existing Apex Forward Set Sear kit and will not work with the factory Smith & Wesson fire control parts.

Included in the full kit are the Apex Forward Set Sear which shortens the stroke of the trigger by dropping the striker at a point farther forward than the factory sear. The Ultimate Striker Block produces a smoother trigger pull and eliminates most false reset issues through an improved radius on the striker block face. The Forward Set Springs kit produces a trigger pull of 3.0 to 4.0 lbs, depending on which trigger return spring is insalled. Requires the use of the sear housing block designed for the large size sear plunger and spring(current production as of June, 2011) NOT recommended for duty/carry applications.

Does Not fit M&P 2.0 Pistols

SPECS: Works with all S&W M&P pistols in all center fire calibers and configurations equipped with an Apex Forward Set Sear (excludes the Shield pistol).

Requires the use of the sear housing block designed for the large size sear plunger and spring(current production as of June, 2011).

I like my M&P 1.0 again

No creep, short reset and light pull. Can’t wait to get it to the range. Some tense moments getting the trigger spring aligned but on the 3rd try fell into place.

Apex Flat Faced M&P Trigger Kit

Props to Brownells for super fast shipping and great customer service! Absolutely love the trigger, bought it with the "RAM" as well and it worked flawlessly on an M&P 9 pro. Installation was fairly easy, smooth and easy pull on the trigger and way better click on the reset than stock. For me, increased accuracy from presenting and shooting fast, over 50% A must have for the M&P, and well it looks awesome too! Get one! And order from Brownells it will not be a disappointment.

Amazing trigger

The apex trigger is by far in a league of its own... I have the flatfaced forward set trigger installed in all my M&P pistols, all the way from my M&P pro CORE down to my EDC M&P compact... If you want to give your M&P what it needs, install an Apex trigger, I promise you will not be disappointed...

Apex nailed it!!!

This trigger is amazing. I had read some reviews online with people gushing about this trigger so I had to buy it. Personally I think it's kind of ugly and I have ordered things before that people raved about and regretted it (Salient Arms, to name just one of a few), but I had to give this a try. I have flat faced triggers on 5 or 6 guns now and I love them all. I think I can safely say this is my favorite handgun trigger right now. The pull is clean and crisp. I put the 4 lb trigger spring in (there is one lighter option included) and it's like a dream. It breaks clean and the reset is equally phenomenal. It's unbelievably short, very distinct, it just begs you to pull the trigger again... Installation was relatively easy, 20 times easier than the trigger job on my HK 45c!! The only complaint I have is that while Apex does have videos to help you install, there isn't one video. You have to watch like 4 separate videos to get the darn thing in, but still 5 stars as the product could not be better in my opinion. I have an Agency Glock and while I love it and it's a beauty and we'll executed the trigger feels so bad now compared to this... Apex for the win!!

Amazing

Against the items advisement, I do carry this trigger. I just used the green heavier spring that came with it and it is around a 4-4.5 lb pull which is perfect for me. I love the amount of leverage you can put on this thing which makes it feel much lighter. Would definitely recommend this trigger to anyone who is lucky enough to be able to install it.
