Obviously used, G-1's haven 't been made for 13 years. At the front of the trigger is a tiny set screw as you look up. Turn it counter-clockwise about a half-turn. It should take a 1/16th inch SAE allen-wrench. You should see the trigger,itself, move forward. Somone set the trigger for hair-trigger plus, in other words the sear never gets set except by accident. You DRY-FIRE these by cocking the action keeping your mitts OFF the hammer, and just pull the trigger. ONCE and you'll have to re-cock the trigger guard for every time you want to dry fire. You can also set the trigger engagement without ever having to cock the hammer back. That other screw takes up over-travel, you don't want it to go very far more back after the sear trips and the hammer drops, that's just more movement your gun will have to throw you off target. I did notice that your firing pin selector lever was where it should have been, sitting in the center position on "safe"
