Howdy! The title kind of says it all, but a little background info is probably in order, so here goes: my son, who is a big ol' boy, shoots a pair of EAA Longhorns that were our original pistols from when we first started shooting CAS many moons ago. He later acquired a Cimmaron Model P as a backup. He's been shooting two-handed from the get go, but this spring he decided that he wanted to move to double duelist with the idea of eventually transitioning to gunfighter. He has big hands so it's fairly easy for him to reach the hammer spurs on his guns, but lowered hammers would make it a skosh easier. Does anybody make lowered hammers for his guns?
He and his wife just bought their first house, so new guns are a distant dream at this point...
Thanks!

I shot a pair of 45 Colt '75 Remmies in Classic Cowboy for a number of years. They pointed naturally for me. I moved on to a pair of Old Model Vaquero Bisleys and those same Remmies are on their second owner after me. They've been rebuilt twice that I know of since I had them but it took a lot of rounds to make them need rebuilding.

Interesting thread. I run Cowboy 45 Specials with 170 grain bullets in my pistols (my arthritis loves them) but I personally don't see a point in running the Cowboy 45 Specials through my .45 Colt 73. But I'm not the OP, and if he wants to run those darling little suckers in his rifle, more power to him. I'm just too lazy to do that much work on my rifle...

Sure it is. So is Cobra, Invasion USA, Lethal Weapon, and Die Hard. All wholesome movies to watch on cold December nights.
It just ain't Christmas until you get to watch Hans Gruber fall off the top of the Nakatomi Building!

I guess I'm kind of the maverick here, so to speak, as far as loading 45 specials goes. I load them on my Dillon 550 using a 45 Colt shell holder and my 45 ACP die set, which includes a Lee Factory Crimp die. But I also only use them in my Old Model Bisleys, not my rifle. I'm still using 45 Colts in my rifle.

C45S is really nice to the arthritis in my wrists!

I noticed that Oregon is conspicuously absent from your map. You need to find your way to Baker City, Oregon the second weekend of July, 2025, for our annual, Violence at Virtue Flat. If nothing else, the food is fantastic!

Lowered hammers for Cimmaron Model P and EAA Longhorns. Do they exist?

Thanks, Slim. I'll probably do that in the near future.
