I got it for nothing. Apparently it's been sitting in a basement forever. There's some corrosion on the outside, but the internals and barrel are spotless.
On the slide it says "1917 world war I commemorative 1967", and there's an engraving depicting some battle.
I'm attaching some pics...
Thanks for the insight Driftwood Johnson, that was very interesting. I'm plenty calm, but the internet is full of people who bully revolver aficionados, especially those who believe there is ever a reason to cock the hammer in a combat situation, so I tend to be on my defensive when discussing...
That's what I do actually. The stock hammers on my s&w revolvers are fine really, I just like the one on my vaquero even more. It gives more purchase and leverage. I wonder how hard it would be to have a gunsmith weld a little extension or something.
Carry gun. I'm a believer in cocking the hammer when the opportunity presents itself or when a longer or more accurate shot is required. I'm not looking to get into a debate about this.
I'm wondering if it's possible to find aftermarket hammers for S&W and Ruger DA revolvers that imitate the size and shape of the Colt single action army hammer. I find this style to be more ergonomic and fumble-proof. Anyone know of such a thing?
