A factory stock 75SA does not have the pre-travel adjustment. only over-travel.

if the gun has been upgraded. on the trigger with the pretravel adjustment screw..you access it with the slide off the frame and coming into the trigger from the top.

Hey, I'm another new guy.  Picked up my 75B SA yesterday.  I know I can adjust the overtravel on the trigger.  Is that the teeny tiny screw on the front of the trigger?  If not, where is it?  I do know I certainly don't have an Allen wrench that small!
Any comments on how to adjust the overtravel would be greatly appreciated.

SETTING YOUR TAKE-UP and OVER TRAVEL
Make doubly sure your pistol is unloaded and no magazine is inserted before starting this

One screw is the “take-up setting”

Hammer cocked turn the screw until the pistol fires, then back the screw off ½ turn
Cock the hammer, if the hammer doesn’t hold full cocked, then back off another ¼ turn until it does
Once the hammer stays cocked, then turn the screw another ¼ turn and now your take-up is set
Check your take-up, it should be very slight
The other screw is your “over travel setting”
Cock and fire the pistol while tightening the screw ½ turn at a time
Repeat this until the hammer DOES NOT fall
Then loosen the screw ¼ turn and try the trigger
Repeat this until the hammer does fall, then loosen the screw another¼ turn and now your over travel is set
Dry fire the pistol several times to ensure it fires every time the trigger is squeezed
Hope this helps
Be safe, Shoot safe, Den S

My understanding is that in the 75B SA pistols you can only adjust the over travel. True?
Again, the over travel screw is the one on the front of the trigger, right?
Thanks again

The screw in the middle of the trigger pad is for over travel
Where the one at the top of the trigger, up inside the frame, is for take-up....but not all SAs have this screw
