Apex Tactical 100067 Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit – S&W M&P
Listen, if you’ve shot a stock M&P trigger and thought, “This feels like I’m dragging a brick through mud,” you’re not wrong. The factory setup has a lot of take-up, a mushy wall, and that creepy break that makes you second-guess your shot. That’s where Apex Tactical comes in. They’ve been the go-to for M&P trigger work for years, and this Forward Set Sear & Trigger Kit – part number 100067 – is their most refined drop-in solution for the Smith & Wesson M&P platform.
Here at Miami Shooters Supply, we see a lot of guys running M&Ps for duty, competition, or just range time. And the number one complaint? The trigger. This kit fixes it. It’s not a “polish the internals and hope for the best” kind of deal. This is a full sear and trigger replacement that moves the break point forward – much closer to where your finger naturally rests. That means less finger travel, a shorter reset, and a cleaner pull overall.
What’s Actually Different?
The big deal here is the Forward Set Trigger geometry. Apex designed the trigger shoe so the pivot point sits farther forward than the stock trigger. This changes the leverage and gives you a break that feels a lot like a tuned 1911 – crisp, predictable, and short. But you’re still in a striker-fired polymer gun. Best of both worlds. The take-up is drastically reduced, overtravel is nearly eliminated, and the reset is short and positive. You’ll feel it the first time you pull the trigger.
The trigger body itself is machined from aircraft-grade aluminum, then black hard anodized. That’s not just for looks – it’s tough, resists wear, and the smooth face gives you a consistent finger placement every time. The center pivoting safety is built into the trigger, so you don’t lose any drop-safety. It’s the same profile as the factory blade, but smoother.
Two Springs, Two Weights
This kit comes with two trigger return springs. The silver spring gives you roughly a 4.0 lb pull. The green spring bumps it up to about 5.0 lbs. Why both? Because not everyone wants the same feel. If you’re running this in a competition gun, you might want the lighter 4 lb spring for faster splits. If it’s a carry or duty gun, the 5 lb spring gives you a little more margin for error under stress. You pick. Both springs produce a smooth, consistent pull from start to break – no grit, no stacking, no surprises.
Installation is drop-in. You don’t need to file, fit, or send it to a gunsmith. Remove the slide, drift out the trigger pin, swap the sear housing, drop in the new trigger, and reinstall. Takes about 15 minutes if you’ve done it before, maybe 30 if it’s your first time. Apex includes detailed instructions. And if you run into trouble, give us a call at the shop – we’re happy to walk you through it.
Who’s This For?
Anyone who shoots an M&P and wants a better trigger. Period. Whether you’re running a full-size, compact, or Shield (check compatibility for Shield models – this is for standard M&P 1.0 and 2.0), this kit transforms the gun. It’s popular with USPSA shooters, IDPA guys, and plain old range enthusiasts who just want a gun that shoots better. It also works great for law enforcement officers who carry an M&P and want a consistent, repeatable break without sacrificing reliability.
And because we’re Miami Shooters Supply, we ship this kit nationwide to all 50 states. We’re a licensed FFL dealer, so we handle the paperwork on our end. You order, we ship. Simple. No weird restrictions, no “we don’t ship to your state” nonsense. If it’s legal where you are, we’ll get it to you.
