Smith & Wesson J Frame Model 30 Hammer Block - Used
This listing is for a used Smith & Wesson J Frame Model 30 hammer block. Factory OEM part sold as-is.
The hammer block is a critical passive safety component in the J Frame revolver. It physically blocks the hammer from contacting the firing pin unless the trigger is fully depressed, preventing accidental discharge if the revolver is dropped or the hammer is struck. This used factory hammer block is correct for the Model 30 — S&W's classic .32 S&W Long Hand Ejector — and is an essential safety-critical part for gunsmiths performing action work or restoration on this vintage revolver.
