I was reading an old article by Ross Seyfreid and saw mention of an overtravel stop on the trigger of Ruger SA revolvers. It showed a set screw going through the breach face below the base pin hole. I assume this hits the top of the trigger somewhere. My gun has the power custom hammer and trigger, if those are required. If this is simple as drilling and tapping a hole for a set screw in the right place, that is within my skill set.

Found a little info on p36 & 63 of Bowen's book.

Remembered that the Harton tweaked 357 Maximum that 2 Dogs gave me has an "Internal Trigger Stop." Pulled the gun out, removed the cylinder, and yep... There is a set screw right where you describe. Can't comment on how critical the placement of this set screw might be. Looks to be at an angle. There should be some forum member who will chime in soon with some details.

6-32 thread if you were to guess?

I would assume that you have to drill from the rear on the stripped revolver? It would be more professional looking than the screw thru the trigger I suppose  I had considered doing a thru the trigger on my OM Super since it seems to be the test mule. I was worried about the half cock notch catching the sear and breaking my trigger. I have seen 2 Uberti revolvers that had home boy trigger jobs that had broken sears from the half cock notch. The OM Ruger may not do this as it is a bit different and the half cock notch doesn't seem to stick out so far. Of course the shortage and prices of OM Super hammers and triggers put an end to my experiment(for the moment). |

Bowen's book says he doesn't do it on OM rugers. I think for that very reason...
Tek, you should get his book if you don't have it! Lots of interesting info for a home tinkerer...

And yes, from the rear unless you have any awfully tiny drill...
Also looks like it angles down toward the grip frame slightly, not 100% sure why, but I have some guesses.

Is a measurement too much to ask? |

What exactly does this trigger stop do, I mean as opposed to a hammer stop?

It stops the trigger..... from traveling too far past the release point. Prevents excessive motion of the trigger finger while the bullet is in the barrel. Mostly it just feels nice.

somebody ought to have a picture of one of D. Clements OM triggers. It has a bump to be fitted for an overtravel stop, IIRC.

I'm glad this question got asked. Gives me a reason to look a little harder at this Harton 357 Max... The trigger stops I'm familiar with on 1911s and DAO PPC/NRA action type guns are usually in the trigger. This custom trigger stop is a set screw in a hole Drilled &Tapped in the cylinder frame. It appears that the set screw is angled down toward the trigger... I don't plan to take the Max apart to detail the modification but I'll show as much as I can...

Kuhnhuasen' ruger book has the details. Pretty easy I've done it a couple times with basic home tools.
