Overview
This trigger kit is designed to replace the factory hinged trigger on compatible Smith & Wesson M&P semi-auto pistols with a solid-body polymer trigger and center-mounted pivoting safety. Its rounded face is intended to give the shooter a smoother, more comfortable contact point, while the reduced pre-travel may appeal to those looking to refine the feel of the trigger system. It is a practical option for M&P pistols already set up with an Apex Comp AEK or Duty/Carry AEK, but it is not compatible with M&P M2.0 models, Shield variants, or Apex Forward Set Sear and Trigger Kits. The kit includes the trigger, heavy duty sear spring, and trigger return spring slave pin.

- Best suited to pistols already equipped with an Apex Comp AEK or Duty/Carry AEK, which narrows its use case.
