If you shoot a Smith & Wesson M&P and wish the trigger felt more like a crisp single-action 1911, this Curved Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is exactly what you’re looking for. It replaces the mushy, long-stroke factory pull with a clean, predictable break and a short, positive reset. The biggest problem with stock M&P triggers is the gritty take-up and the long reset that can slow you down on follow-up shots. This kit fixes both. It drops right in, uses your choice of factory or included springs to set pull weight between about 4 and 5 pounds, and keeps all factory safety features intact. Whether you carry the gun or shoot it in competition, this trigger gives you a consistent, repeatable pull you can trust.

Install difficulty
Difficulty: 2 out of 5 — If you’ve detail-stripped a pistol before, this is straightforward. You’ll need a punch set, a small hammer or mallet, and a bench block. Watch our install video linked on the product page — it’ll save you 15 minutes of head-scratching. Total time: about 20–30 minutes if you take it slow.
Frequently asked questions
Does this kit work in the M&P 2.0?
Yes, but only in 2.0 models that use the flat-faced trigger (not the hinged trigger). If your 2.0 has the hinged trigger, this kit will not fit. Check your trigger shoe shape before ordering.
Can I use this for concealed carry?
Absolutely. With the factory trigger return spring installed, pull weight sits around 5 lbs — similar to a good duty pistol. The reduced reset and shorter over-travel actually make it safer for carry because there’s less chance of the trigger snagging on a holster. Just use the heavier spring option.
Do I need to replace any other parts?
Nope. This kit includes the trigger, sear, and springs you need. You can reuse your factory trigger return spring if you want a heavier pull. No aftermarket striker, connector, or guide rod is required — though some shooters add a lighter striker spring later for an even lighter pull.
