Note: Hammers are frame-specific and not interchangeable between J, K, L, or N Frame revolvers. The .375" spur width is specific to this old-style L Frame hammer — verify your existing hammer spur measurement before ordering. Model numbers are stamped on the frame behind the yoke when the cylinder is swung out. Pre-1957 revolvers may not have a model number — contact us with your serial number for assistance.
Installation
Hammer replacement requires full disassembly of the revolver's lock work and may require fitting by a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper timing and function. Do not return the firearm to service without verifying correct cylinder timing after installation.
