Trigger over travel screw.

[Robert B.]

Hey everyone, I just purchased a Ruger SR1911 and can't figure out what size Allen wrench it takes to adjust trigger over travel screw, any help would be appreciated.thanks.

Honestly - the easiest way would be to just try several out and see which one fits? Do you have a few sets to just cycle through?

I believe it's a 1/16" Allen wrench.

If that just doesn't seem to work, don't count out the fact it may be metric. If you don't have any I recommend the "Eklind" brand, made in usa and you can find everywhere.

Probably .062 or .050 allen wrench

 

[Robert Richardson]

If you do adjust it, make sure to leave a small amount of over travel.

No need to tell him that.. He'll figure it out when it doesn't go bang

Left just a hair, put in a snap cap works like it should. I appreciate all the help and suggestions,thanks everyone.

I think mine came with an allen wrench. Never got around to adjusting mine. I've only put 2 mags thru it and that was 4 years ago i think..maybe longer. Such a sweet shooter with low recoil.

 

[Robert B.]

That's awesome, don't think mine came with one. But I got it done.

Care to share the size?

 

[Robert B.]

Wish I could, it wasn't marked, I have no idea.sorry.

Now that the problem is solved.

"That is not how JMB created the 1911 "

True,but sometimes you have to make do with what you have.

I was just being fudd'ish. The SR1911 is a nice piece.

I found it telling that the Platypus doesn't have an overtravel screw in the trigger. Trigger is excellent but I'm sure it took some extra time to make that happen. My guess would be they're trying to preclude any "operator errors" in the field and probably a good idea.
