Quick Draw Granpaw #48525 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Looking for a pair of the lowest hammer for the vaquero (New) model. any help or suggestions truly appreciated. Thank you. QDG/Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Are you talking height of the thumb pad of the hammer over the curve of the grip frame? I would say, other than “custom” that the Super Blackhawk hammer sits lowest. I believe the Montado is about the same height but you can’t get Montado hammers aftermarket or from Ruger, as far as I know. I have installed SBH hammers on my Vaqueros and they make a big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major E A Sterner #12916 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 The Ruger Bisley has the lowest hammer profile, But they have to be modified to work with the standard grip frame. Ruger will sell you 2 hammers every 30 days, they run about $36.00 each plus shipping. All you need is the serial number from your gun. I have bought both the Montado hammers and the Bisley hammer recently from Ruger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colorado Coffinmaker Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Probably a 1/4 pound jewelers hammer. Won't be able to do much with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dantankerous Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I see a lot of one handed Ruger shooters using lowered hammers, usually Super Blackhawk hammers. The hammer does make a big difference in how easy it is to reach your thumb to it. I know when I switched to Ruger Bisleys a whole new world of possibilities of shooting one handed opened up.
