Overview

The Polymer Pew M&P 2.0 Forced Reset Backplate is a hardened, blackened S136 and 4140 steel part that replaces the factory striker plate. Rather than using the same internal layout as the other ranked devices, it pushes on the trigger bar, which then pushes the trigger forward as the slide returns into battery. Once the slide passes the trigger bar, the part releases and the pistol returns to ordinary trigger behavior.

Polymer Pew fits it to standard M&P 2.0 pistols and warns that it will not work well, or at all, on the hinged-trigger M&P 2.0 variant. The maker suggests polishing the trigger bar if the slide feels sticky during function testing. Its product page does not list a user-operated mode selector.
