DCAEK-"Duty/Carry Action Enhancement Kit"= utimate striker block (USB) w/spring (removes grit and smooths pull), hard sear w/spring (removes over travel, lowers pull weight, and slightly improves reset), duty/carry trigger return spring (raises trigger pull back up some to meet duty standards)
CompAEK-"Competetion Action Enhancement Kit"= utimate striker block w/spring (removes grit and smooths pull), hard sear w/spring (removes over travel, lowers pull weight, and slightly improves reset), lighter comp trigger return spring (further reduces pull), and comp striker spring (also reduces pull weight).
The Aluminum AEK trigger was designed to replace the stock hinged trigger if desired and can be used in conjunction with any combination of factory parts or the above kits but is not to be confused with the FSS which outwardly looks very similar.
RAM- "Reset Assist Mechanism"= an optional kit that "improves" tactile/audible trigger reset. If you are prefer a "Glockish" trigger, this will make you feel right at home. Coming from a Glock myself, I planned on installing one but never got around to it. After getting used to the platform, I no longer think the RAM is necessary.
FSS- "Front Set Sear"= completely different trigger group, springs and sear than and not compatable with the others. Totally changes the geometry of the pull and moves the break point much further forward with very little pre or over travel. Feels almost like a single action trigger.
Hope this helps.
It's okay while pulling the trigger back but when resetting the trigger it jumps forward past the sear reset thus making follow up shots slower. Is there any way to fix this without buying new sear/trigger parts?
I had the RAM and the DCAEK installed and it made a world of difference. I have heard that the Pro series and the shields already have good triggers.
I have looked into the apex kits, while I do believe it would help, I am not entirely ready to pay out for the parts just yet. Any references on what parts to polish?

i should say that I have an apex competion trigger in another pistol. The pull is lighter but it didn't fix the grittiness or the reset. I'm going to have that one into Bowie pretty soon too.
Did you not install the USB that came with the CompAEK? That is what fixes the grittiness. I personally like the tactile reset of the AEK kits, but if you must have a glockish audible "click" (which of course you won't hear during live fire), the RAM will provide it.i should say that I have an apex competion trigger in another pistol.
