Pros

  • Different geometry from the factory part for a lighter trigger pull
  • Reduces trigger pull weight to less than 5 lbs.
  • Shortens overtravel and improves reset speed

Considerations & Trade-offs

  • Fits current-production M&P pistols in 9mm, .357 SIG, and .40 S&W only; it does not fit M&P45 or Shield models.
  • Designed to be used as a standalone upgrade, but Apex also notes it can be paired with a spring kit and Ultimate Striker Block sold separately.
  • The stated trigger pull reduction is to less than 5 lbs., which may be a meaningful change for users who prefer a lighter trigger but not for those seeking a factory-feel setup.
  • This is a replacement sear component, so installation and compatibility should be verified against the specific pistol generation before purchase.
