The Smith & Wesson M&P Shield is a popular choice for people looking for a slim everyday carry pistol that packs a punch. Smith & Wesson recently updated the Shield to the higher-capacity Shield Plus, and Apex Tactical is ready. The Action Enhancement Trigger & Duty/Carry Kit for the Smith & Wesson Shield 2.0 from Apex Tactical will work in your Shield Plus to deliver a significant improvement in the feel of the trigger pull, while still maintaining its performance as an everyday carry pistol.

By installing the Action Enhancement Kit Trigger & Duty Carry Kit and using factory springs, you can reduce the trigger pull of your Shield Plus to around 4.8 pounds, and dial in the trigger pull that works best for you with different combinations of factory and Apex Tactical parts.
