Re: Latest Colt Snubnose Project

It looks like very nice work so far. Hope everything turns out as nice as it looks.

Would a reduced mass hammer and a 'trigger job' be such a good idea?

Granted, Colt and S&W have different lockwork. If the mass of the Colt hammer is reduced,
what is left of my brain cells tell me that an extra power hammer spring would be called for.

The 'spring kits' that I have noticed use a lighter hammer and trigger return spring. With a lighter hammer,
it'd seem that a heavier whack at the primer would be needed to maintain reliable ignition.

A light trigger return spring would seem to be equally counterproductive.

I don't know, just asking.

This could be a valid concern. It would be a good idea to set aside some carry ammunition for ignition testing, to ensure all-important reliability.
