The Verdigris Kid Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I have an Uberti SASS Pro .45 stainless with 4.75" barrel and lowered short stroked hammer. The hammer is my problem. It has never worked correctly as it has that new fangled safety firing pin arrangement. I want to replace it with a fixed firing pin hammer and trigger set. I see regular hammers listed for replacement but have been unable to find a stainless lowered short stroke one. Can anyone point me to a source so I can get this up and running correctly? Thanks.

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I have heard of ways to disable the safety to convert to a fixed firing pin. Some ways reversible, some not. Someone will chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 If I remember correctly, some people were removing the "offending parts" and inserting a steel rod of the right diameter, and length, to keep the firing pin at the extended position at all times.

Old Man Graybeard Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 That is what I did. Took out the actuator rod and it’s return spring. Then took a piece of drill bit shank and cut to needed length. After that I changed to Rugers. They have parts to convert to the old style for standard stroke but not short stroke. I myself will never buy another Uberti revolver… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, EMF is just down the road from me. It's a quaint little operation that you wouldn't even know is there unless you look for it. I put my name on a list for a pair of Alchemista II's, but I doubt I'll ever hear from them at the price I had it locked in at. At this point I'm just waiting to find the one Ruger NMV I need for a matched pair. Enough of the sidetrack. For the OP, have you tried contacting one of the 'smiths of our sport for options? What is the issue you are having? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And which NMV would that be? Bet @John Barleycorn, SASS #76982 can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly, but it's a story for another time as it doesn't help the OP. (Short of bumping it to the top of the list.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
