I just installed the polymer AEK trigger and RAM in my full size M&P 9, this was my first time installing a trigger on any gun besides G19, and that's a lot easier. The apex feels way better, but my question is how do you test function at the range? Everything seems to be working properly. Should I start out firing 1 round at a time and slowly add more rounds? Or just load it up?

***this kit feels 100% better than the stock trigger, is it worth the extra $ for the Dcaek kit? How much better will it make the trigger?

Just shoot the Mother-Bleeper. You'll know instantly!

Only thing that has me worried was the end of Apex install video when the guy was adjusting a part (can't remember name of part)

It's hard to mess up. The ram and sear spring are the trickiest parts.  In my non-expert opinion As long as the gun resets with an audible click and dry fires ok, it should be all good.  If you're worried. Load one test, load one test , load 2, load two, and if all is good after, go to town.

Not going to have errors that will effect basic operation in a catastrophic fashion with this kit.

Install it, load a full mag, and enjoy.

I just loaded and shot after dry firing for a while.

If you have an Apex sear, or a factory one with a Burwell job, then the trigger bar loop may need adjustment when used in conjunction with the Apex trigger.

***Should I get the Dcaek also? Will it make enough difference to warrant the $?

I just did the Polymer Forward Set Sear and Trigger Kit, which effectively would be the same thing as you adding the Duty Carry Action Enhancement Kit to your AEK Trigger. I used the 5 lb. trigger spring and though I haven't been to the range yet, I can tell by the feel of the trigger when dry firing, that a much lighter trigger pull is going to make a huge difference in accuracy and handling.
