I've been dealing with this issue for a couple years now. I had some work done on my model 57 a few years back. I thought maybe the issue might wear in and fix itself. After the gunsmith returned it, I noticed that there was no over travel in the trigger. When pulling the trigger, it feels like the trigger is pushing against a stop before it breaks. I would really like just the slightest amount of over travel when pulling the trigger, so it doesn't feel like it is bottomed out. I suppose I should have brought it back to the gunsmith, but it is a 45 mile drive, and as I stated, I thought maybe it would smooth out. There is no pin inside the trigger return spring, so I don't know if there was one originally, or not. Anyway, my question. What can I do to allow a tiny but of over travel in my trigger pull?
No trigger over travel on my model 57.

Check to make sure that the top of the main spring is not hitting the bottom of the hammer. That sounds like a loose or shortened strain Screw and or a main spring that has lost it's curve.

DA & SA?
OP
Single action!
There is supposed to be trigger stop rod in the M57.
Maybe the rebound trigger spring is not the correct one, i.e. too long? supposed to only have 17 coils; maybe it is solid stacking.
Maybe cut 1-1/2 coils off the existing rebound spring.
