Trigger Polymer Kit for M&P® 2.0 (Type 3) Apex®

The Apex Trigger Polymer Kit for M&P^® 2.0 (Type 3) delivers a noticeably smoother and more consistent trigger pull, a shorter reset, and improved trigger feel while retaining all factory safety features suitable for everyday carry. This drop-in solution replaces the factory trigger without any permanent modifications and uses a refined polymer trigger shoe designed for better control and readability.

Main Benefit

The kit improves overall trigger performance by reducing pull weight, shortening take-up, and shortening reset. In practice, this results in a more consistent and predictable trigger press during rapid or repeated firing. The individual components are designed to work together as a system, providing smoother operation suitable for both training and duty use.

Material and Trigger Feel

The Apex polymer trigger offers a more defined and consistent feel compared to the factory trigger. While retaining a polymer construction, the trigger shoe features improved geometry that enhances finger placement and tactile feedback. This reduces the vague or “spongy” sensation often associated with standard factory triggers and improves overall trigger readability.

Type 3 Design

The Type 3 version builds on the proven Apex trigger design and adds updated shape details. The front edges are chamfered rather than rounded, giving the trigger a slightly slimmer feel and improved finger contact without altering functional surfaces. Subtle side cutouts provide a modern appearance while maintaining identical performance, reliability, and safety compared to the standard version.

Drop-In Installation

The kit is designed as a true drop-in replacement. Installation requires removing the factory trigger and installing the Apex kit without grinding, fitting, or permanent frame modifications. While the installation is straightforward, professional installation by a gunsmith is recommended to ensure proper function and safety verification.

Safety and Operation

The centrally mounted trigger safety and all factory safety mechanisms are fully retained. After proper installation, the pistol remains suitable for everyday carry. Reduced play and better-defined take-up and reset enhance trigger control while maintaining safe operation.

Who It’s For

Designed for M&P^® 2.0 pistols with polymer frames. Recommended for shooters who want improved trigger consistency, smoother operation, and faster follow-up shots without resorting to complex or irreversible modifications. Suitable for duty use, training, and sport shooting.

Real-World Performance Improvement

After installation, shooters typically notice reduced trigger pull resistance, shorter take-up, and a shorter reset (user-observed reset reduction of up to approximately 20%). This leads to faster follow-up shots and improved consistency without compromising safety.
