Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit for Polymer Frame M&P M2.0

This Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger Kit is designed for shooters who want a cleaner, more consistent trigger pull from their Polymer Frame M&P M2.0 pistol. The main problem it solves is the long, mushy travel and reset that comes stock on these guns—this kit tightens everything up significantly. It uses a combination of this component’s springs with your factory sear and trigger return springs, letting you dial in pull weight from duty/carry levels down to a lighter competition feel. The flat face gives you a solid, repeatable finger placement for better accuracy, while the forward set design reduces the reach to the break. It’s a drop-in solution, so no gunsmithing or fitting is required.

Install Difficulty: 2 out of 5

This is a straightforward drop-in job. You’ll need a punch set and a small hammer or mallet for the trigger pin, plus a slave pin (or a paperclip works in a pinch) to hold the trigger assembly during install. We recommend watching our install video linked on this page to get it right the first time. Expect about 20–30 minutes if you’re handy with hand tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my M&P M2.0 Compact 3.6″ barrel?

Yes, as long as it’s a Polymer Frame M2.0 (not the Shield or 1.0 series), this kit fits all barrel lengths and calibers. The trigger mechanism is the same across the M2.0 line.

Can I use this for concealed carry or is it only for competition?

Yes, you can set it up for either. Using the included springs with your factory sear and trigger return springs, you can keep pull weight around 4.5–5.5 lbs for carry, or go lighter for competition. The flat face and forward set design also help with consistent finger placement under stress.

Do I need to replace the sear or trigger return springs?

No, this kit is designed to work with your factory sear and trigger return springs. That’s what gives you the adjustable weight range. Just use the springs provided in the kit and swap out the trigger and related parts. If you want a lighter pull later, you can upgrade those springs separately.
