[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 3038749, member: 118066"] Its the weight adjustment screw. Back it out until the hammer will not cock. You can pull it back but it won't catch. Then slowly turn it back in half turn at a time until hammer will stay back. The trigger will be very light at that point. Adjust inward until you are happy with the trigger pull. Be careful, it can be set scary light. I'm sure there is a you tube video about it. The screw behind the trigger is the over travel setting. Screw it inward towards the trigger. Once it touches back it off until you can get the hammer to fall. You're all set then. Be aware that they will move due to vibration. I don't advise thread locker on them. Just watch out for them. One more thing, if your unhappy with the weight of the top of the shoe adjustment. You can disassemble them and remove one coil of the spring at a time. Unless you have the tools and the ability, I'd use a gun smith. The set screw I'm talking about adjusts the creep more than the weight. But most of the older contenders have great triggers. [/QUOTE]
