Apex Tactical Specialties has announced the release of the Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit for customers who want to replicate the feel of a 1911 type trigger on an M&P pistol.
“Following on the success and popularity of our Forward Set Trigger, we looked to further increase the performance of the M&P’s fire control system with a trigger profile closer to what 1911 shooters experience. The new Flat-Faced Forward Set Trigger delivers a feel and performance of a factory 1911 type trigger at an approximate weight of 4.0 to 5.0 lbs,” said Randy Lee, president at Apex Tactical Specialties.
As the press release notes, the Flat-Faced Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit is designed to work in any Smith & Wesson M&P model pistol in a centerfire caliber. It reduces trigger pre-travel and over-travel, while enabling the shooter to position their finger at an increase leverage point lower on the trigger face to take advantage of lower trigger pull weights.

The kit comes with the Apex Forward Set Sear, which shortens the trigger stroke by dropping the striker at a point farther forward than the factory sear. Also included is the Ultimate Striker Block, which produces a smoother trigger pull and eliminates most false reset issues through an improved radius on the striker block face. The Forward Set Spring Kit produces a trigger pull of four to five pounds (depending on trigger return spring installed).
