Trigger Adjustment tool for 1911 Ruger

For the trigger adjustment what size tool is needed ? Is it a t-6 0r a allen wrench ?
Thanks ......

I'll bet you are thinking about the over-travel adjustment in the trigger
face. All of mine are Allen wrench.

Just a word to the wise...If you're thinking about using the over-travel stop as "back door" means of adjusting sear engagement, don't. It aint meant for that.

Hello, the tool is a t-6 , I got a short Allen wrench one from KC Tool for $3.00 that works great. After taking the gun all a part last night I can tell you all internal parts were in nice shape,no ruff edges anywhere . All parts mate up /fit good... Ruger did a good job on this gun.......

Why you say this , will it harm the sear? I just back it out a little to smooth it up. tks for replies.....

I am not a Gun Smith, nor do I play one on TV.
With that said, what I use is this.

YMMV and . . . no . . . warranty.

Ruger does not include the Allen wrench to adjust that because they recommend you not adjust it.

That's nice . . . . but an improperly "adjusted" over travel can render the
gun useless.

Mine (the . . . one . . . I've had to mess with) got to the point of not letting
the hammer contact the firing pin. Keep in mind that I had done ZERO
adjustment to it (CZ CBOB) yet it ceased firing when you pulled the
trigger. SO . . . I contacted CZ and asked what happened.

The process in my web page is the information they sent.
Guess what.
It works. :shock:
CZ even knows how to adjust their over travel.
