McCandless Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 I'm doing a thorough cleaning of a pair of pistols that I shot this past Saturday, and got to admiring the work done by a gunsmith, and the time he must have put in, just on the hammer springs. (He did a heckova lot more than that), The hammer still has a fast return time, but a light hammer pull. The spring has been thinned in width and tapered. There isn't a machine mark or rough spot or a sharp edge anywhere on it. It has a new, precisely milled slot where the roller rides. There seems like endless little things he did to improve the function of the gun. Somehow it all works together so there's not a bit of trigger creep, and hammer over-travel is gone. Timing and lockup are perfect, so there is no hint of a drag line on the cylinder. Dang! Don't complain about the cost a good gunsmith charges for his work. He is a craftsman and an artist. If you find a good'un, stick with him.
