S&W 929 MYSTERY PART

[TheGoatMumbler]

This was in a zip lock along with the factory firing pin from a 929 I bought from a guy. Does anyone know what it is and why is it not in the gun?

That's the internal lock

Thanks. Since it functions perfectly I guess it's not needed.

It's the hammer lock , part of the " hillary hole "  , You use the little key that came with the gun in the hole in the side of the frame to raise that piece ( the flag ) so that it blocks the hammer from moving.

 

Most competition guys choose to remove them as they are un-nessasary to the function of the gun, some have even reported the hammer lock engaging on its own during normal firing.

I take mine out, if you ever need to fire the gun upside down it will engage itself.

do they make a little plug kit that fills the hole to keep dust and dirt out be nice to plug the hole up

They do, I've installed a few for a couple of guys.

I think they're like 70.00 bucks, I also THINK TK sells the part.

Going from what those guys said.

 

Edit

Just looked, not on TK's site, so not sure now where they came from.

TK CUSTOM sells them, or used to. I dont see it on the website right now.

 

Give them a call and ask for Eli or Tom and they can likely set you straight.

Wow!  Looks like he makes nice parts, but I went down the rabbit hole reading the stream of consciousness train wreck that is the rest of the website. YIKES!

Ah, I went down it too. 5 minutes of my life I’ll never get back.

Alright nobody else is going to ask so I will.

How do you know this?

Sounds like it could be a good story.

  I stopped at the pen.....

I fire my guns in all kinds of weird positions!  Have you ever seen Rob Leatham shoot through a low port?  He just bends over and shoots upside down without kneeling.

I took it out ASAP and was going to fill it in, but it makes a nice access port for doing a quick internal flush and lube.
