Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 If a pard had a new Vaquero and wanted to put the lower hammer spur like the one on the CFDA Vaquero, believe it;s model 5158. What hammer would he order? My thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Sloe Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Are you wanting something like the Super Blackhawk hammer? That's what alot of us have used. Good luck, BS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cayuse Jack, SASS #19407 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Super Blackhawk hammers are wider and lower... They came with original vaquero hammers which I believe are the same as regular Blackhawk hammers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokestack SASS#87384 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The “old” model Vaquero hammers will fit a New Model also and have a standard width hammer that is lower than the New Models. It’s not as low as the super Blackhawk hammers though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never owned a nmv to find it out. @Dutch Nichols, SASS #6461 I have some omv hammers that I'll never use if they are what youre looking for. T.F.

Hendo Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Just an FYI, I bought SBH hammers for my Vaqueros and milled them down to standard width. Not for everyone, but I like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Big Boston" Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 Just a little trivia info, the New Vaquero hammer will not fit in an original Vaquero without a bit of grinding. A Blackhawk, Super Blackhawk or original Vaquero will "fit" into a New Model Vaquero. There will be a bit of a gap at the back, the notch in the frame. A bit ugly if aesthetics matter to you. The NMV hammer is a fairly close copy of the Colt SAA hammer. OP was asking about the hammer that came in the Cowboy Fast Draw Association model. I'm curious as to the p'n on that one.

Larsen E. Pettifogger, SASS #32933 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The CFDA New Vaquero simply used an OMV hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Fill 'Em 67797 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 This high-gloss stainless steel New Vaquero comes with the “old-style” Vaquero hammer, giving fast draw shooters a time-saving advantage by providing a more natural fit for this style of shooting. Only 1,000 of these models will be produced and they will bear a special serial number sequence in honor of the Cowboy Fast Draw Association: CFDA-XXXX (0001-1,000).

TN Mongo, SASS #61450 Posted March 31, 2022 Share Posted March 31, 2022 The wife of a now retired cowboy shooter wanted lowered hammers on her Rugers, but she hated the wider profile of the SBH. A mutual friend who is a trained machinist and gun affectionato, machined Ruger Bisley hammers so they would fit her Vaqueros. It cost them a little more money, but she got what she wanted.

It would probably have been easier to grind down the sides of Super Blackhawk hammers. They would drop in no machining or Bisley trigger needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did try to convince her have the sides of SB hammers thinned or switch to Bisleys model pistols. She insisted on the Bisley hammers and he caved. The sad part was after he spent the money to get her what she wanted, she quit shooting a few months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
