Why does over travel matter?

>>32227109
You want to know why?

>>32227109
Minimizes movement in the hand holding the gun, therefore minimizing user error.

Also keeps the trigger closer to its reset point for faster follow-up shots.

>>32227109
ill tell you why

>>32227118
I can't think of any reason you wouldn't want over travel. It seems like it would make you less likely to jerk the trigger.

>>32227133
Well then you're retarded as overtravel occurs after the gun has fired and has absolutely nothing to do with the trigger break or "jerking the trigger".

>>32227171
Calling me retarded only takes away from what you're trying to say.
So if I try to shoot fast, my shots drop 6" and stay 6" dropped for as long as I'm semi-rapid. This is at 7 yards. It might be recoil anticipation or it might be jerking the trigger down. I just don't understand how a harder quicker trigger stop is going to help with that.

I can see >>32227122 point though.

Is it worth installing an over travel screw in a Glock, Walther, Sig or HK then? It doesn't seem like a mod anyone ever does outside of the extreme.

>>32227209
Yeah those are both my posts though.

If you're dropping 6" low, you're either flinching or outright anticipating recoil. There is nothing you can possibly do to a pistol to fix that mechanically, it's 100% training as it's 100% user error.

Generally not without doing extensive trigger work or going to a full drop-in replacement to shorten the pretravel and move the reset forward first.

The factory trigger pull on most production pistols is just flat-out way too long for *just* an overtravel stop to be anything more than wishful thinking as far as tangible improvement.

Note how they're extremely prevalent on target pistols and rifles though.

Define worth it. I got a gray guns kit for my p229 and the over travel stop makes a decent difference in feel of the reset. I wouldn't go out of my way to install another one.

>>32227109
over travel adjustment helps in follow through when squeezing a trigger so your reset and break remains not only closer together, but the actions of your hand immediately following the break is to stop moving the trigger - it's more common in hunting rifles than pistols, but you see it in bulls eye pistols a lot too. it's a way to help consistency. and consistent shooting helps with consistent training.

>>32227109
Because a good trigger pull doesn't end when the hammer falls. A properly set over travel stop gives you a more stable follow through by taking out some of the movement after the break.

I think this answers my question. THANK YOU!
