Default Overtravel adjustment on 952

Can anyone tell me how to adjust for overtravel on a 952? Under the grip panel I heard. But any more info or pictures? Thanks!

I'll guess that you asked this question on another forum also, and I just answered it there so I'll answer it here too for the benefit of anyone else who is interested.

It is not under either stock.

Okay, the pistol is field stripped and you are holding the frame in your shooting hand and you found the large pre-travel screw by looking top-down in to the frame when the pistol is field stripped.

Now as you are looking down at that screw from directly above, tilt the muzzle end of the frame down at a 45 degree angle, as if you were going to shoot towards the ground, maybe 5 feet in front of you, and you are still looking at that large pre-travel screw. NOW you should should be looking at the over-travel adjustment screw, a tiny hex head that is probably one-fifth the size of the pre-travel screw. This little screw sits horizontally in the forward most part of the trigger bar. You'll see now how it works, it stops the forward motion of the trigger bar.

Like any/every trigger over travel adjustment screw that I've ever seen, if you adjust it too far, you will find that you cannot fire the pistol. Also for anyone who hasn't played with one, these small machines ARE subject to vibration and migrating screws. What you may have adjusted perfectly at home can adjust itself under fire and halfway through a box, you may find a trigger that won't let you break the next shot. So a touch of thread lock and taking your allen wrenches along on the range day are both good ideas.
