If you bck the overtravel screw out 1/4 turn at a time just remember how many times you've moved it.
Originally, S&W trigger stop screws on the 1911 series were installed from the back to keep owners from "improving" on the factory setting. I am not sure if this is still the case, but if it is, the owner will not be able to adjust it without a detail strip. And a tube of appropriate loctite. I prefer the send it back "on S&Ws dime" approach.
This is the problem. I finally figured it out.
When a full magazine is inserted it "swells" slightly . I belive it was contacting the trigger bar , making it slight bowed out , thus not being able to go back far enough to trip the sear.
The key was troubleshooting it using a full magazine. With a full mag in the gun I could see that it hit the over travel before the trigger was fully back. In order to drop the hammer the trigger had to be pivoted slightly up. So in order to replicate the problem it needed a fall mag and the trigger pulled straight back.
I had already requested a shipping label from S&W so I sent the gun back for them to adjust.
