We see a lot of triggers come through the shop here in the Old Pueblo. Some are gimmicks. Some are just parts that look good on Instagram. This Apex Tactical kit – the 100153 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit with the red flat trigger – is the real deal. It’s built for the S&W M&P 2.0, and it’s one of those upgrades that actually changes how the gun feels in your hand, not just how it looks on the counter.

Let’s get straight to what this kit does. Apex Tactical designed this to replace the factory hinged trigger assembly with a solid, one-piece aluminum flat trigger. That factory hinge is fine for duty use, but if you’re looking for a cleaner break and a reset that doesn’t make you hunt for it, this is the fix. The trigger body is machined from aluminum, with a center-mounted pivoting safety that keeps all the factory safety specs intact. No shortcuts. No compromises on the safety side.

What you’ll notice first is the pre-travel and over-travel reduction. Out of the box, the M&P 2.0 trigger has some slack. The Apex kit tightens that up without turning your pistol into a hair-trigger competition gun. You get a smooth, consistent pull that stays within a serviceable pull weight range – meaning it’s still a practical, carry-grade trigger, not a race gun part. The reset is shorter and more positive. You’ll feel it click back into place without having to let the trigger all the way forward. That’s the “forward set” part of the name: the sear geometry is tweaked so the trigger resets sooner. It’s a small change that makes a big difference on follow-up shots.

The kit itself is designed as a drop-in. No filing, no fitting, no sending the slide out. That said, we’re honest with our customers: if you’ve never swapped a trigger before, or if you don’t have the right punches and a vise, have a gunsmith or armorer do it. We can handle that here at Tucson Arms, or you can take it to your local guy. But the parts are engineered to go in without modification. It’s about as close to plug-and-play as you’ll get with a trigger swap.

Now, about that red flat trigger. It’s not just for looks – though it does stand out against a black frame. The flat face gives you a more consistent finger placement, shot after shot. No rolling off the curved trigger shoe. The anodized red finish is durable and won’t fade or chip with normal use. It’s a solid, tactile improvement that you’ll appreciate at the range or on the clock.

We carry Apex Tactical because they’re a proven manufacturer. They’ve been doing this for years, and their parts show up right, with good quality control and clear instructions. We’ve installed a lot of these kits in customer guns and in our own builds. They work. No surprises.
