The top one is for the second stage weight.
Clockwise - increase
Counter-clockwise - decrease

The bottom one is for the trigger stop.
Clockwise - decrease trigger movement after release.
Counter-clockwise - increase trigger movement after release.
(Do not decrease the movement too much because the trigger will be inconsistent)

Though, I could not figure out how to reach that screw with the tool provided with the pistol. The trigger seems like obstructing. Shall I remove the trigger. The manual tells to dismantle the grip but this does not seem to solve the problem either.

It sounds like you have little to no engineering ability

indeed

The screw that you marked is the right one.

I think that you can access it with the short end of a normal allen key. This way you don't have to move the trigger. Keep in mind that moving the trigger changes the trigger weight slightly, because you change leverage.

If you choose to experiment with your trigger settings and have no experience, I advise that you only touch the first/second stage weight, and first stage travel. Don't make big changes, and write down every turn you make (like first stage half turn clockwise etc.), this way you can reverse things back to factory setting. Get a trigger weight or make a DIY one, and check that the trigger holds it.

You can also experience how the trigger works by turning on dry-fire, and lifting a trigger weight off a digital kitchen scale. This way you can approximately find out what the factory weight settings are.

He will appreciate this response.

I do very much

Hack saw, file, grinder, belt sander, chop saw, or cut off disc on Dremel tool. Someone you know has to own one of the above.

Thanks to all
A bit more info:

I have a DIY trigger scale and the factory setting seemed a little light, or just at the border, so I increased the first stage weight and it is now around 550g— I hope :) I see that the angle of the trigger blade makes some difference.

My problem: in the factory setting, all the weight seems to be on the second stage. I have a heavy second stage after a very light first stage. This makes a smooth shot release very difficult. My idea is to distribute the weight a bit more evenly . Maybe, like 150-350 apprx.

As said, so far I could not figure out how to reach the screw. For someone with no engineering skills, the whole trigger system (or everything on the pistol) looks very delicate— afraid of messing it up!

The screw to move the trigger blade forward/backward seems tight, again afraid to force it, and not sure if that would help reach the 2nd stage screw, may be with an "L" shaped tool.

As said, the manual tells to dismantle the grip but I guess this is for a slightly different design. Because, it doesn't look like dismantling the grip would help reaching the screw. And yes, I am also afraid to dismantle the grip—let alone changing the grip angle which might be necessary.

I have similar issues with the sights as well. I could not change/rotate the front sight and instead narrowed a bit the rear one (I guess the same or similar effect).

It seems like I have a long way to go. There is much more to learn and practice until being able to release the shot at the right moment. Otherwise, I can keep on shooting like a cow-boy :)

If one puts pressure to the trigger, close to let off weight, but then abandons the shot, then the next trigger pull let off weight is much less, which could cause a premature shot release. Is this caused by a too tight trigger stop? Possibly, but I do not think so.
