Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Freedom Finger FRT Trigger different from the factory M&P 2.0 trigger?
The Freedom Finger FRT Trigger primarily addresses the pre-travel and reset characteristics of the M&P 2.0. It offers a shorter take-up, a cleaner break, and a much more pronounced, tactile, and audible reset compared to the stock trigger, which can feel somewhat spongy.
Is the Freedom Finger FRT Trigger difficult to install?
For someone with basic mechanical skills and appropriate tools (like a roll pin punch set and a vise), installation is manageable. There are numerous instructional videos available online. If you’re not comfortable, we recommend having a qualified gunsmith perform the installation.
Will this trigger work with my M&P Shield?
No, the Freedom Finger FRT Trigger is specifically designed for the Smith & Wesson M&P 2.0 full-size, compact, and subcompact models. It is not compatible with the M&P Shield or Shield Plus series.
Does installing this trigger void my Smith & Wesson warranty?
Modifying a firearm with aftermarket parts can potentially affect the manufacturer’s warranty. It is advisable to check Smith & Wesson’s warranty policy or contact them directly if you have concerns.
Where can I buy firearm triggers online?
You can purchase firearm triggers and other accessories online right here at Kansas Gunshop (kansas-gunshop.com). We stock a range of parts for various popular firearm platforms.
What tools do I need to install the Freedom Finger FRT Trigger?
Typical tools for installation include a small hammer, a set of roll pin punches (specifically a 1/8″ and 3/32″), a bench block or vise, and possibly a small flathead screwdriver. Refer to installation guides for a complete list.
Does this trigger change the pull weight of my M&P 2.0?
While the perceived pull weight might feel lighter due to the improved leverage and reduced creep, the Freedom Finger FRT Trigger’s primary design goal is to enhance the trigger’s feel, reset, and break, not to significantly reduce the actual pull weight. Any change in pull weight would be incidental to the improved geometry.
