Description

Want to transform your Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0’s shooting rhythm without compromising on durability? The Freedom Finger FRT Trigger is machined from solid 4140 steel for a forced-reset mechanism that delivers a faster, smoother, and more consistent pull.

Californiagunshop is a San Antonio, TX-based retailer specializing in precision firearm components and tactical upgrades. The M&P 2.0 FRT Trigger | 4140 Steel | Non-Select is a forced-reset trigger system designed for the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 platform. Its core advantage is a durable 4140 steel construction that enables a rapid, consistent shooting cadence. This trigger is in stock and ready to ship today for $202.50.

Why This M&P 2.0 FRT Trigger Stands Out

After building and testing hundreds of triggers, I look for three things: material integrity, predictable function, and clean installation. This m&p 2.0 frt trigger hits those marks. The 4140 steel isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a specific alloy known for its toughness and resistance to wear, which is critical for a part under constant mechanical stress. The forced-reset mechanism isn’t about turning your pistol into something it’s not; it’s about refining the reset to be more positive and allowing for a faster, more controlled rhythm. I’ve seen shooters shave tenths of a second off their splits in competitive drills with a well-tuned forced-reset system. This non-select version keeps the installation straightforward and reliable, which is what most shooters need for range or defensive training.

How It Compares to Other Triggers

This comparison shows why this trigger is a solid middle ground. You’re avoiding the questionable metallurgy and fit of the cheapest options, but you’re not paying a premium just for a brand name. For the vast majority of shooters, the 4140 steel here provides all the durability you’ll ever need.

Pros and Cons From My Bench

What I like:

• ✅ 4140 Steel Construction: This is the real deal. It won’t wear out or deform like softer metals, which is a common failure point I’ve seen in cheaper triggers.
• ✅ Improved Shooting Rhythm: The forced-reset mechanism genuinely helps maintain a faster, smoother cadence. It’s a tangible difference you can feel, especially during rapid-fire strings.
• ✅ Drop-in Installation: If you’re comfortable with basic pistol disassembly, you can install this yourself with a punch and hammer. No gunsmithing required for most users.
• ✅ Positive Reset: The reset is crisp and audible, giving you clear tactile feedback—something I always emphasize when teaching new shooters.
• ✅ Non-Select Simplicity: Having a single, reliable function reduces complexity and potential points of failure, which aligns with a keep-it-simple philosophy.

Points to consider:

• ❌ Not a “Binary” or “Selective” Trigger: This is a forced-reset trigger, not a binary trigger with a different legal definition. It also doesn’t offer selectable pull weights. If that’s your goal, you’ll want to look at a different system.
• ❌ Requires Familiarity with Your Firearm: This isn’t a part for a complete novice’s first upgrade. You should know how to safely field-strip your M&P 2.0. If you’re unsure, have a qualified gunsmith install it.
• ❌ May Change Feel from Stock: The break and reset will feel different than the factory trigger. Some shooters prefer that heavy, gritty stock pull for certain applications. This is an upgrade for performance shooting.

Who Should (and Shouldn’t) Buy This Trigger

Buy it if:

• You own an M&P 2.0 and want a more responsive, faster-resetting trigger for range training or competition.
• You value durable components and understand why 4140 steel is a meaningful specification.
• You’re comfortable performing basic modifications on your pistol.
• You’re looking for a performance upgrade that focuses on improving rhythm and consistency, not altering the fundamental firing cycle.

Skip it if:

• You are legally prohibited from modifying your firearm’s trigger system. Always know your local and state laws.
• You are seeking a binary trigger or a trigger with multiple selectable settings. This is a non-select forced-reset unit.
• You are completely new to firearm maintenance and aren’t ready to disassemble your pistol. Consider a professional installation first.
• You are perfectly satisfied with the heavy, long pull of the stock M&P 2.0 trigger for dedicated carry purposes.

Common Questions & Concerns

Is this legal? This is a forced-reset trigger. As of my last update, it is federally legal, but laws are complex and change. You are responsible for knowing and complying with all local, state, and federal laws regarding firearm modifications. I cannot provide legal advice.

Will this make my gun “full-auto”? No. A forced-reset trigger does not alter the mechanical cycle to fire more than one round per function of the trigger. It resets the trigger quickly to prepare for the next pull. The shooter must release and pull the trigger for each shot.

Is installation difficult? For anyone who has field-stripped their M&P 2.0, it’s a straightforward process. You’ll need a punch to drive out the trigger pin. If the term “sear block” or “trigger housing” sounds foreign, watch a detailed tutorial first or seek help.
