Frequently Asked Questions

How do you adjust the trigger stop screw on a 1911?

To adjust the 1911 trigger stop screw, first ensure the firearm is unloaded. Use the correct Allen key to turn the screw clockwise until the trigger no longer resets. Then, slowly turn it counter-clockwise until the trigger resets, and back it out slightly further for optimal performance. Always perform a function check afterward.

What tools are needed to adjust a 1911 trigger stop screw?

The primary tool needed is an Allen key. The most common sizes for 1911 trigger stop screws are 0.050 inches and 1/16 inches. It's also recommended to have a small amount of medium-strength thread locker, like Loctite Blue, to secure the screw.

Why is it important to adjust the trigger stop screw on a 1911?

Adjusting the trigger stop screw on a 1911 controls the trigger's overtravel, which can lead to a crisper trigger pull and a more defined reset. This fine-tuning helps improve shooting accuracy and consistency by minimizing unnecessary movement after the shot breaks.

What is the purpose of the trigger stop screw on modern 1911s?

On modern 1911 and 2011 pistols, the trigger stop screw replaces the original design's reliance on the grip safety for trigger stop. It allows for precise adjustment of the trigger's overtravel, directly impacting the feel and reset of the trigger pull.
