M&P 2.0 Modifications?

[DAVE_M]

Before I make the investment into an Apex Tactical kit for the M&P 2.0, I'd like to know if anyone here has experience with them (good or bad).

The only other modification I'm thinking of making is a new set of sights.

Edit - Got my answers elsewhere. I never asked about cast bullets and thumb safeties.

If its the one with a thumb safety its tough to engage and disengage + hates lead cast bullets

Pretty much a brass alloy round ball shooter

no experience with Apex, never will, the S&W 2.0 comes with a very nice trigger as is, don't think it can be improve much more.

Cool, that’s not helpful.

Wrong Answer.

I have Apex flat forward set triggers in 3 of my full size 2.0's 9mm, .40, and .45. I love them. Factory pull on stock M&P is 5# 5-9 oz, with the sear and trigger spring from Apex its 4# 6oz, with stock trigger and sear spring its's 3# 5oz. You still use the spring and striker block that comes with the kit. If you haven't tried the Apex yet I'll offer you a chance to try all of mine.

I fully disassembled my 2.0 compact when I got it. I noticed the sear has a small dent/pit in it and confirmed with others that it’s common. Supposedly it was where they did a hardness test on the top of the sear. It doesn’t contact anything, but I found it strange.

I’m most likely going to order the Apex kit and replace it all. The trigger is really awful right now. I usually don’t complain about triggers, but the plunger itself is sticking and I was told the Apex kit will take all of the funk out.

The only difference is I was planning on using the Duty/Carry kit with a curved trigger.

I have the Apex trigger on my full sized M&P9 (first gen) as well as my M&P9 Compact 2.0 (3.6" bbl). It makes more of a difference on the older M&P but it is an improvement on both guns. It's a pain in the ass due to the factory rear sight, but it's doable for sure.

It must be one of the few that the rear sight must be removed to install trigger components.

It has to be removed to pull the striker safety block (plunger) and spring up through the top of the slide. Unlike a Glock, it’s not held in by the extractor.
