Overview

Designed to improve the tactile trigger reset on compatible Smith & Wesson M&P pistols, this reset assist mechanism is intended for shooters who want a more controlled trigger feel during use. It also serves as a failsafe if the trigger return spring breaks, helping keep the trigger bar properly positioned under the sear so the trigger can be manually moved forward between shots. Compatibility is limited to M&P 9mm, .357 Sig, and .40 S&W models without a thumb safety, magazine disconnect, or internal locking system, and it will not work in the VTAC variant. Precision machined and heat treated, it is a practical upgrade for owners looking to support trigger function within the specified platform.

  • Will not work in the VTAC variant due to a different sear housing block configuration, so fitment should be verified before purchase.
