Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires the use of the larger 1/8 inch sear spring and plunger setup, which is included, so installation is not a drop-in change for every setup.
- Not compatible with Smith & Wesson M&P Shield models, even though it works with other M&P pistols in centerfire calibers and configurations.
- The kit is set up around two trigger return spring options, so users need to choose between the 4 lb and 5.5 lb configurations based on intended use.
- Installation depends on the sear housing, so this is best suited to users prepared for a more involved trigger-system upgrade.
