bountyhunter Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 (edited) Interesting, I wonder if it would be worthwhile to make some titanium hammers? There are plenty of titanium strikers available to increase strike energy with lighter spring.The point is that there is an optimum mass for a hammer in terms of delivering maximum strike energy by trading off hammer mass and velocity. But, the physical size required for the hammer's function means the mass is always going to be higher than optimum. So, lightened hammers and strikers deliver more strike energy for a given spring load. That allows a lighter DA pull by using a lighter mainspring while maintaining good ignition.

Carmoney Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I'm curious if you lengthen the arc of hammer travel slightly (larger trigger cam) can you reduce the spring tension? Yes. The Colt Python is the classic example. Randy Lee had a conversation about this awhile back. He confirmed that the Apex hammer uses the same functional geometry as the stock hammer.
