Shot a S &W the other day that belonged to a friend. I was shooting single action pistols. I told him he was cheating because he did not pull the hammer back after each shot, then he told me he COULDN'T. I looked at his gun. It was a 4 inch barrel .357- but I do not know what model. It was about the same size as my Ruger Security Six. It has a traditional hammer on it, but if you tried to pull it back to fire single action, it would not stay. You could only fire it double action. Did Smith sell revolvers like this? My feeling was that it was either broken, or had had a garage mechanic grind off the single action notch in the hammer. I did notice that on the left side of the frame was engraved "C.A.I." Does that have any relevance?
