Thanks for the video had trouble finding out exactly what overtravel meant on a trigger....i initially thought that adjusting the trigger screw might help with the movement of trigger before it drops the hammer. Now I know that adjusting screw will not effect the pretravel. Very helpful

Hello, TYVM for the video. I currently have a Ruger SR1911 commander .45. With that being said the trigger seems to be nice and crisp but the slide and particularly the hammer are extremely heavy in fact I have a very hard time just cocking the hammer. How can I adjust it so that the hammer is a lot easier to pull back?

Change out the main spring, also called the hammer spring, to a lighter weight. Just know that you may need to install an extended firing pin to ensure you do not get light strikes on the primer.

I never feel the reset because I always release the trigger asap after the firing sequence and the immediately take up the trigger creep to retire. I always thought you were not suppose to pin the trigger to the back and wait for the reset click and then mechanical go thu the firing sequence all over again.... I guess I am trying to say I get ahead of all of that.

Thank you! Great video... Just wandering, I noticed in most of these videos that the parts are clean and dry. Is this just for the ease of showing without the mess or should these parts be lightly oiled?

You can do it either way. Dry or lightly oiled.

Would of been better to see if the grip was removed. Why does all my colts have only one click and my SFA mil spec has 3? Dies the hammer have 3 positions for the sear?

That's an interesting question. So there are three clicks when cocking the hammer with your thumb? That would probably be a question for Springfield to answer. That's a new one to us.

This video explains how everything works, which is cool, and how to adjust overtravel, but not how to adjust pretravel like the title says.

You are not wrong, Mr. Ninja. We have changed to title to better reflect the content of the video. Thanks for the feedback.

I think he explains that pre-travel must be in a 1911 for the disconnecter to allow a reset.

Is the set screw a necessity?

@NighthawkCustomFirearms 4 жыл бұрын

Hey Logan. The set screw is there to decrease overtravel. It is not necessary for the pistol to run. It simply keeps the trigger from traveling further back after the hammer has fallen. Most shooters prefer to have as little overtravel as possible. Not using the set screw would give your pistol maximum overtravel with that trigger.
