In browsing pictures on the internet, I've seen some DW revolvers that appear to have a set screw behind the trigger. The two Monson guns, one a 15-2 and the other a 14, do not have it.
In some cases it's difficult to determine if it is a screw or a "rivet" like the two on the left side of the guns below the cylinder. In other cases it seems pretty clear it is a screw since you can see the threads.
Is this a set screw? When did this come into play or was it an option?

Both my revolvers have a screw on the back of the trigger.

I'm not certain when the over travel came to be. Here are a few old posts:

The over travel screws have been used since day one, they are a small allen screw. They were originally placed in the trigger, but were relocated to the frame behind the trigger sometime during the 80's. Some are more visible than others, depending on camera angle & how far in or out they may be screwed at the time.
