I just bought a Ruger GP-100 with the non-underlug bbl. It has the spurless hammer and I was wondering if I can put on a new hammer with a spur.
Do the new GP-100 hammers fit these older GPs? Mine in one of those police trade ins that are on the market right now. Will a spur hammer be able to be shot in SA and DA mode like a normal revolver or were there some modifications that made the spurless hammer DA only? The way it is now, the hammer will not cock on SA mode even if you thumb it back. I assume they filed off the SA notch but I don't know whether the SA notch is on the hammer or some other part.
BTW, it is a very handy size and weight (4" bbl SS).
