TimBoettcher Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 So I purchased a Walther / Colt .22 for my daughter a couple years ago. One of the hammer hooks broke off so I replaced the hammer with a EGW hammer and I’m noticing that the slide barely cocks the hammer. I noticed the cheap MIM hammer that came with it si approximately.015” taller (see pic) than any of the hammers I use… Anyone know of a taller tipped hammer on the market?

TONY BARONE Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Maybe your hammer hooks are too tall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimBoettcher Posted January 21, 2022 Author Share Posted January 21, 2022 A little background on this pistol... The slide is aluminum as well as the frame, so the fit is poor at best. The underside disconnector rail on the slide resembles the standard slide but is higher up inside the slide. It has no firing pin stop and that area is rounded up into the disconnector rail. Hammer hooks are at .019" and sear engagement are perfect. The Koenig hammer and EGW sear that are in it are ok but the hammer could be a few thousands taller to make sure the hammer is pushed past the sear nose. A standard 45 or 9 would have the velocity to ensure the engagement happens but this 22 is, well, it's a .22 lol Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braxton1 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 This used to be an issue with Wilson hammers and sears back in the day. The sears were long (intentionally), so that they could be fit with minimal over-cock. If you didn't know about that spec, it was frustrating...

TONY BARONE Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Run the hammer hooks back so you can get more engagement. I've done that with sloppy slide to frame fits. Edited January 21, 2022 by TONY BARONE add content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
