Look I Bent My Hammers

[Tame Bill #30699 Life]

I finally convinced my gunsmith to profile my ’51 Navy R-M conversion hammers. I really like the appearance and the improvement when shooting.

Looks great, Tame Bill. I like the profile.

I'm jealous!

Fred Lipowicz, a well known gunsmith here in Kansas City. He created a fixture to guarantee uniformity of the hammer profiles. He has done 4 hammers for me so far and they all look all look perfect!

Here is a comparison Factory versus Profiled '51 Cap & Ball hammers

. The profiled hammer has yet to receive the final polish and serrations.

Can you provide cost and contact information Mr. Lipowicz?

 

Thanks

[Colorado Coffinmaker]

I just prefer the OEM profile.

Looks great, Tame Bill. I like the profile.

Had a chance to handle Bill's pistols. They feel great too.

I just received my latest brace of '51 conversions fresh from engraving by Kelly Laster. Check out the engraved hammers!

Lovely Tame Bill, absolutely lovely!!

[Tennessee Stud]

Tried to bend my hammer one time.... the Dr. said it was impossible... but he was talkin' somethin' else.

 

Good try.

 

However... gettin' back to the topic... over the past few years, with the loss of my eyesight... I have tried to shoot... and re-load my '51 Navies.... ever mornin'. Got to admit... I only average 'bout 5 days a week. Not always here... and I been feelin' poorly... lately.

 

Well... not sure how that stuff coulda happened with them hammers... TB... please keep us updated.

Oh, he takes 'em! And puts on a fine display of 'Pistoleroism' as well.

 

TB, looks like Kelly did a bang up job! I've been resisting the urge, but I might just hafta break down and have him do a little scratchin on some of Fannie's and/or my stuff.

That is a damn good reprofile. I like that shape. Flows well.
