I recently purchased a .357 DW frame on GB. When it came there was a "set screw" looking thing behind the trigger sticking out inside the trigger guard. It seems to be there to limit the trigger's rearward movement when firing. I have 11 other DWs and 2 HS and none of them have this thing sticking out in the trigger guard. This trigger is also very light, I think the wind would cause the gun to fire in the SA mode.
Yes, I know there is a HS grip on it. All my extra DW grips require a long grip screw and I only have a short one right now. Grips are temporary.

That is the overtravel screw--some are in the frame, some are in the back of the trigger.
Easiest way to adjust it is to screw it out until the gun will not fire in SA mode... then turn the screw in a little at a time until it will fire.
Some of the frame ones are "backwards" the allen end is inside the frame. I just pull them out and reverse them so I can adjust once gun is assembled.

Thanks guys, it's working fine like it is plus the set screw has some red "stuff" on one side that I assume is locktite. I think I'll just leave it alone. I just had never seen one sticking out.

Generally speaking, earlier 15-2's have this in the trigger, and the orientation of the frame mounted one (set screw adjusted from inside/outside the frame) seems pretty random.
I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.
