I have a number of S&W “J” frame revolvers that I have purchased used. Three of them have what I would call “Semi” bobbed hammers, not the whole hammer spur, just part of the knurled portion. I understand the reason for a fully bobbed hammer to avoid snagging, but I just don’t see the logic behind removing just a portion of the knurled thumb spur. So why do people do this? Is it just to minimize potential snagging without eliminated the single action capability, or what?
Ironically, when I searched for J frame hammers on ebay looking for a replacement, all the ones that came up were ones that had the hammer spur mutilated in the same way.
