Why Upgrade Your M&P Shield Trigger?

Reduced Trigger Pull Weight
Lowers factory pull from approximately 5.5 lbs to an average of 2.5 lbs. A lighter trigger reduces shooter fatigue and minimizes sight movement during break.

Smoother and More Crisp Break
Precision calibrated springs deliver consistent compression and release through the full trigger cycle, resulting in a clean break and improved shot control.

Faster Trigger Reset
The included extra power trigger return spring is approximately 28 percent stronger than factory. This design reduces felt trigger pull while improving reset speed for quicker follow up shots.

Improved Accuracy
Less resistance and smoother travel means less disruption to your sight picture. Ideal for defensive training, qualification courses, and range work.

Premium American Materials
Manufactured from ASTM A228 Music Wire spring steel for long term durability and consistent performance.

Made in the USA
Backed by the MCarbo 100 percent Lifetime Guarantee.
