Looking for help and information. I have a older Mod 29 "S" frame .44 mag that the hammer notch is broken. S&W tells me that it will not repair or replace the hammer because they do not service "Non-Current" model S&W's as mine is a "S" frame and not a current "N" frame.
Is there a difference between the S and N frame hammers?
Also, I have had Hammer notches fixed on old Colt SAA's---could the same processbe used to fix the Smith? Any ideas or suggestions

Thanks for the help. The pistol is marked MOD 29-1, serial #S228760. The best I remember the (2) pistols were bought in the early 60's at Oshman's in Houston Texas. My Dad bought He and I each one---one 4" and one 6". I was told that the "S" frames were somewhat smaller than the "N" frame 29's as "N" frame grips will not fit my pistol--too large. REALLY want to get the .44 shooting again and a hammer is all that is stopping me.
THANKS------Ronin
