What is the proper adjustment of a 1911 trigger that's adjustable for overtravel?
Specifically, I have a 1911 that came with a Videcki adjustable trigger. When the trigger is squeezed, the hammer falls--no problem there, as such. However, if I lower the hammer manually after squeezing the trigger, I can feel the hammer rub against the outside of the sear just after the sear moves out of the hammer notch. I assume that this is because the adjustable trigger does not have quite enough travel to move the sear completely out of the way of the falling hammer.
So, is it acceptable for these parts to rub against each other somewhat after the hammer is released? Or, does the hammer need to fall completely free of the sear? If the latter--and I know this is a dumb question--how do I adjust the trigger?
TIA.
