S&w 340pd Tinkering

[Sc0]

Finally popped the sideplate today... Only to find what looked like a small bead stuck on the hammer which dug itself a nice track on the sideplate. I told myself when I picked up the gun that I would leave the internals alone, then when I decide to clean it out looky at what was hidden. BTW: this freaking thing has more moving parts than my 1911 and possibly my Glock!

Greased everything, filed the hammer/hammer lock Flat and that's about it. Just bummed out about the little "slag" poking off the hammer. I wouldn't call it modifying the internals, just cleaning up the factory machining or lack of.

Custom Gun Smiths deserve a pat on the back for dealing with this.
