BLEMISHED Freedom Finger FRT Trigger for M&P 2.0 (Non-Select) – Stainless Steel

Description

Missouri Firearms presents the BLEMISHED Freedom Finger FRT Trigger for M&P 2.0 (Non-Select) in Stainless Steel. This is a functional forced-reset trigger with minor cosmetic blemishes, offering a crisp, consistent pull and short reset for Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 pistols at a reduced price. Drop-in installation requires no gunsmithing.

Key Features & Performance Benefits

• Stainless Steel Construction: Provides superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability under high round counts. This matters because it ensures the trigger’s geometry and function remain stable through thousands of dry-fire repetitions and live-fire rounds.
• Forced Reset Trigger (FRT) Design: Mechanically resets the trigger forward after each shot, reducing finger travel and perceived reset distance. This matters for competition shooters seeking to minimize time between shots; the mechanical reset can facilitate faster, more consistent splits when proper technique is applied.
• Short, Crisp Pull & Reset: Features a clean break and a reset measured at approximately 2.5mm of travel. This matters as a short, tactile reset allows you to maintain finger contact and prep the trigger immediately, which is critical for fast, accurate follow-up shots in practical shooting sports.
• Drop-In Installation: Designed to fit the M&P 2.0 fire control unit with basic hand tools and a punch. This matters because it eliminates gunsmith fees and allows most owners to complete the install in under 30 minutes, getting them to the range faster.
• Blemished Condition (Cosmetic Only): These triggers have minor surface imperfections like machining marks or slight discoloration that do not affect function. This matters because it offers the identical mechanical performance of a first-quality Freedom Finger FRT at a significant cost savings, putting premium components within reach on a budget.

How It Stacks Up: Trigger Comparison

Understanding the market helps justify your purchase. Here’s how the Freedom Finger FRT compares to two other popular aftermarket options for the M&P platform.

Freedom Finger FRT vs. Apex Tactical Forward Set Trigger Kit

The Apex kit is a benchmark for a traditional, enhanced single-action style pull. It focuses on reducing pre-travel, over-travel, and providing a clean, rolling break around 4.5-5 lbs. The Freedom Finger FRT offers a fundamentally different mechanical action with its forced reset, aimed explicitly at reducing split times. Per Freedom Finger, their design prioritizes reset speed over altering the initial pull weight profile. The Apex is often chosen for duty or carry use where a predictable, clean pull is paramount, while the FRT is a specialized tool for the competition timer.

Freedom Finger FRT vs. Hyve Technologies Monarch Trigger

The Hyve Monarch is a popular aluminum drop-in trigger that primarily offers ergonomic improvements with a flat face and adjustable pre-travel stop. It refines the stock trigger’s feel but operates on the same fundamental reset principle. The Freedom Finger FRT, being stainless steel and employing the forced-reset mechanism, is built for a different purpose: raw speed. The Monarch is an upgrade for general shooting; the FRT is a dedicated performance mod for shooters looking to exploit the mechanical reset to its fullest. An honest limitation of the FRT is that it requires a deliberate, proper follow-through technique to function as intended; slapping the trigger will cause malfunctions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this trigger legal for USPSA or IDPA competition?

This depends on the specific division and match director. In USPSA, it may place you in Open division due to the forced-reset mechanism. In IDPA, it is highly likely not permitted in any division. Always consult the current rulebook for your specific discipline before competing.

Will this work in my M&P Shield or M&P 1.0?

No. This Non-Select version is specifically engineered for the full-size, compact, and core models of the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 series that use the standard, non-optics-ready fire control unit. It is not compatible with the Shield series or the original M&P 1.0 pistols.

What’s included in the package?

You will receive the complete, blemished Freedom Finger FRT trigger assembly ready for drop-in installation. This includes the trigger shoe, bar, and all necessary pins and springs. Instructions are typically provided, but detailed videos are available from Freedom Finger and Missouri Firearms.
