PEORIA, Ariz. -(Ammoland.com)- Apex Tactical Specialties announces new trigger kits for the M&P Shield 2.0 are now available for pre-order. The new products will begin shipping on Monday, February 5.
Dealers and distributors wishing to stock the new trigger kits ahead of the February 5 release can contact Apex at [email protected] or (623) 322-0200 for pricing and quantity availability. Dealers can also place orders through RSR Group and Zanders Sporting Goods.
Owners of the Smith & Wesson M&P Shield 2.0 will have three options from Apex for improving their pistol’s trigger pull performance. They are the:
- Action Enhancement Trigger & Duty/Carry Kit (part# 100-171) – MSRP: $159.95
- Apex Duty/Carry Kit (part# 100-176) – MSRP: $92.95
- Apex Action Enhancement Trigger (part# 100-170) – MSRP: $76.95
The most popular option, by far, is the full Action Enhancement Trigger & Duty/Carry Kit.
This kit is a combination of both the Apex Duty/Carry Kit for the M&P Shield 2.0 and the Apex Action Enhancement Trigger and reduces pre-travel and over-travel by approximately 20 percent while delivering a smooth, consistent trigger pull that is approximately 1-2 lbs lighter (based on variations in factory tolerances and the combination of springs used) with the advantages of shorter over-travel and shorter trigger reset.
Installing just the Apex Action Enhancement Trigger reduces pre-travel and over-travel by approximately 20 percent. The Apex trigger features a center-mounted pivoting safety which maintains factory safety values.
Installing the Apex Duty/Carry Kit, which replaces the factory sear, safety plunger, sear spring and trigger return spring, delivers a smooth, consistent trigger pull that is approximately in the 5.5 lbs range (based on variations in factory tolerances) with the advantages of shorter over-travel and shorter trigger reset.
For those customers that would like to dial-in their trigger pull weight, Apex has published a detailed reference guide. By using a combination of the Apex springs and the factory sear and trigger return springs the user can set the trigger pull weight within a range suitable for duty/carry purposes.

When buying a gun I always check the trigger action. I have never bought a gun then changed the trigger so I don’t understand what is to be gained by spending another fourth of what the gun cost. If you don’t like the trigger it comes with then try some other gun. Oh I forgot, it is commerce and sales that make the world go round.
Sometimes it depends on what your used to. Ive been carrying a 1911 of one form or another for over 35 years. Ive recently come to the realization. There is nothing wrong with the newer 9mm ammo out there now.
Ive in the last 3 months looking for a 9mm higher capacity gun. Ive bought a Canik, Sar B6P and a S&W M&P 2.0 Compact. Honestly compared to a good 1911 trigger. All these plastic wonder 9s triggers stink.
Im a little interested in spite of its cost. To try the trigger for a M&P when available.
