Overview
This trigger kit is intended for Smith & Wesson M&P centerfire pistols equipped with an Apex Forward Set Sear, excluding the Shield. It is designed to reduce trigger pre-travel and over-travel while providing a flat-faced trigger profile and an approximate pull weight of 3.0 to 4.0 lbs. The setup is meant for shooters who want a more refined trigger feel in a compatible M&P pistol, but it is not a standalone upgrade and will not work with factory Smith & Wesson fire control parts. It also requires the sear housing block designed for the large-size sear plunger and spring.
