I use the terms "take up" and then the clean crisp "break". The over travel is after the "break" or when the hammer falls.
I'm into 1911 single action pistols & I never really cared about overtravel, as long as it's feels Ok shooting it. You need some overtravel, or there is a chance of it not tripping the hammer.
The take up is something that you have to live with and is a normal thing to get use to. You need some of this too, or the trigger may not reset.
