Curved Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit for M&P

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.

Will this fit my gun?

• Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm, .40, .357 Sig (full-size, compact, and Shield Plus models — not the original Shield or the M&P 2.0 with the hinged trigger)
• Smith & Wesson M&P 45
• Smith & Wesson M&P 10mm
• Does NOT fit: M&P 22, M&P 15-22, or any M&P with the hinged trigger (2.0 models with the flat face are compatible, but the hinged trigger versions are not)

Key features

• Drop-in installation — no fitting, filing, or gunsmithing required
• Reduces overall trigger travel by about 40%
• Shortens pre-travel, over-travel, and reset distance noticeably
• Smooth, consistent uptake with a crisp break
• Adjustable pull weight range from roughly 4 to 5 lbs (use factory trigger return spring for heavier end, included spring for lighter end)
• Patented center-mounted pivoting safety maintains factory drop-safety values
• Curved trigger shoe for a comfortable, natural finger placement

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.
