Adamj Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I decided to take the plunge and aggressively bobb (or faux carmonize) my hammer. I though that if I mess it up I could use it as an excuse to have the gun worked over by TK Custom. I'll need another excuse though because it turned out great. It's not as pretty as some I've seen here, but it's allowed me to lighten the action significantly and still pop well seated federal primers Edited June 25, 2018 by Adamj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamj Posted June 25, 2018 Author Share Posted June 25, 2018 Thank you. All my guns are scared to see the Dremmel come out. It was a little nerve wracking at first, but was easier than I thought once I got started. I thought about skeletonizing love some here, but I don't have those skills.

WFargo Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 That's really cool.... I thought mine was aggessive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamj Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 That looks pretty great. Much more refined than mine. I wasn't skilled enough to leave any material behind. It was a complete hack job. What kind of grips are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WFargo Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 I definitely did not do this myself, but a great gunsmith here in the Netherlands. No, stuff doesn't seem to get in there, but then again, I'm the clean-after-every-session type of guy... I have the Karl Nill Master II closed back grips with 'pinky ledge'...

Adamj Posted June 27, 2018 Author Share Posted June 27, 2018 Those Karl Nills look great. I had some on a 627 snub nose and loved them. I don't think my fingers are quite long enough for the closed back grip though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WFargo Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 They have an 'open back' version as well, Adam. And they're really worth the 'investment'..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got an open back set of grips and they let my finger get much more comfortably on the trigger than closed back grips do. They're a little pricey but worth it.

I Like this aproach, it posses all the advantages; lightened of course, retains rigidity, maintains the rear tang to cover the internals and maintains the open cylinder safety, and looks unique. I prefer to lighten my hammers to maintain the protection of the rear tang also. I am going to mimic your approach (if you dont mind) on my next hammer. Its a simple 2 axis mill job. Here is a pic of a bobbed hammer next to the underside cut I make to lighten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gomar83 Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 So is better to lighten a stock hammer versus a TK or a Apex? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Not necessarily better, mostly cheaper. Power Custom, Apex, and TK Custom all have very high quality products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
