Bought this trigger based on reviews ,installed on a used M&P 2.0 compact . Would not work ! Called Apex and they were closed left no message. Was desperately searching the internet for a fix . The phone rand and it was Doug from Apex stating he was calling back a number that from a missed call. Told him my problem , he ask a couple of basic questions then had me carefully look at the trigger bar . There was the problem the end of my trigger bar was bent downwards. Straighten it , reasembled the pistol and everything worked perfectly. Best trigger I have ever had . Doug straightened me righ...

Good trigger

by Puffandstuff, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on April 26, 2026
I’ve been searching the internet for this trigger and because of our great Governor here in California it’s almost impossible to get parts shipped here any more. Optic Planet and was very fair with the shipping and I appreciate them for helping us out here to ensure we can still practice our gun rights.. The trigger is great and exactly what I’ve been wanting.

outstanding !

by Jim Cullen, from FL, United States Written on March 16, 2026
A few years back saw a deal on a 5" FDE finished S&W M&P 2.0 I couldn't pass up. I liked the pistol, but was never excited about it.
A few months ago I decided to take it to the next level.
The Apex trigger kit, a Fision tritium front sight, and addition of ambidextrous manual safety transformed the pistol.
The orange tritium is faster to pick up in light or dark, the trigger outstanding. Flat face trigger gives good feel and doesn't pinch. Short stroke, short, audible, and tactile reset.
Pull weight just under 4 lbs. Manual safety because trigger is so good now, almost like a single action trigger.
These simple mods transformed a good gun into a great one I really enjoy shooting.
It continues to run flawlessly. 1500 rds. since mods without a malfunction so far.
Pros:
  • Excellant trigger system
Cons:
  • too light for some

Excellent trigger!!

by Eric Brown, Verified Owner from OH, United States Written on February 9, 2026
I am really impressed with this trigger. I was a little on the fence after watching some YouTube video reviews, but this trigger is more than I expected. It was a little difficult to install, but it just took a little time. It has a 4lb trigger pull & a crisp, clean reset that is both audible and tactile. That was WAY better than I had expected. This is hands down a major improvement over the stock trigger. I would install this on any S&W with the 2.0 trigger or a gen 1 trigger. Give it a try - you won't regret it.

Excellent trigger

An Apex trigger in an M&P 2.0 rivals any striker fired trigger ai’ve tried.

Leveling Up

by Arcane, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on January 30, 2026
Do yourself a favor and add the Apex trigger to your M&P. You'll thank me later. Installation was a little tricky, but with patience, a clean workspace, and the necessary YouTube videos that walk you through the installation process, you'll complete the task in about 30 min - 2 hrs (depending on your skills/knowledge).

Careful with your model fit

by AJ, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on December 10, 2025
Matching the model was tricky based on the title. I think I still got the correct one as I have the M&P 2.0 Metal in FDE. And the trigger works, but you have to remove the polymer buffer inside the trigger guard which acts as an over travel stop for the stock trigger. ALSO, the safety blade does not interface with the metal frame nullifying the trigger safety feature.

Just do it and dont ever look back.

by PoorNoises101, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on March 12, 2025
Even with the new M&P trigger the Apex is still a must. Supper clean break and fast reset make it the #1 M&P upgrade in my opinion.

Not for metal frames

by APT, Verified Owner from VA, United States Written on May 2, 2024
Heads up, it currently does not specify in the listing that this item does NOT work for the Metal frame M2.0s, including the Competitor. The packaging of the item specifies that it is for the polymer frames only.

Excellent trigger

by CB1, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on November 1, 2023
This is probably the best striker fired trigger money can buy. Light, but not scary, crisp, with excellent reset.

AMAZING Upgrade

by Disappointed long term and regular Optics Planet Customer, Verified Owner from IL, United States Written on April 19, 2023
Absolutely amazing. I have a S&W M&P core that had a good trigger already. Also was accurate with it.
WOW, im soooo happy I upgraded to this Apex trigger. Dropped my trigger pull from 6.8lbs down to 3.2lbs. Eleminated almost all dead pull, except trigger "guard" and resets immediately! Also so smooth to break the wall, no more jerking ever again.

BEST UPGRADE POSSIBLE!!!
