andersonj55126 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 What is the idea behind the Infinity QB Hammer shape? Seems like it would cause trouble during dry fire practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seadog_99 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 Good looks and low mass for faster lock time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MustangGreg66 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I have one on an SV I own and didn't like it at first, but it was all just silly on my part. I never thumb cock these guns, always rack the slide, so it's a non-issue for me. Then again, I don't dryfire either so, there is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v1911 Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 I can't remember the last time my thumb touched a hammer. Rack the slide to cock the hammer, pull the trigger to drop it. Rinse and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1911A12011 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 I believe it was designed for a 5.4" barrel to fit in IPSC box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I believe it was designed for a 5.4" barrel to fit in IPSC box. ? The beavertail is always longer than the hammer is, is it not? Or am I missing the obvious sarcasm here? I have a bobbed beavertail on my open gun and it is still longer than my hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt229 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I had a similar hammer on an Edge. When dry fire practice, rack the slide and pull the trigger. It never occurred to me to cock the hammer back on that or my 1911 manually when dry firing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rishii Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Is that a single stack gun? That basic hammer shape been around for a long time C&S, nowlin and weigend made similar hammers in the 90's, light weight, quick lock time Mimics the weight of a TI hammer without the problems of being brittle or wearing out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 That's a double stack/2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EngineerEli Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Is that a single stack gun? It's marketed towards IPSC Standard shooters (similar to USPSA Limited) their guns have to fit into a box, so to get away with a 5.4" barrel, they have to trim a little off the back to make it fit, hence the magwell/MSH/grip safety.

lneel Posted April 12, 2016 Share Posted April 12, 2016 It was designed LONG before the 5.4" guns, just low mass for quicker ignition times and it looks good! Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Climbhard Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 I never thumb the hammer back anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
