CDPMatt Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The tip on my M10's FP broke off today Where can I get one and can I install it myself? It is on the hammer and not frame mounted. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Brownell's has them. Look in the S&W parts in the back of the catalog under model 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmax Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 You need to know if the hammer nose is spring loaded or not to order the correct one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDPMatt Posted February 16, 2009 Author Share Posted February 16, 2009 How do I go about telling that.... it's a M10-6. Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolguy Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Just cock the hammer and pull up on the broken part. If it has spring tension pushing it back down, then it is. If it goes up and down freely both ways, it isn't. If it's a springy one, get a hammer nose and spring. The spring could get lost when you take it apart, or could be worn out. Knock out the pivot pin, trade firing pins, put the pin back in and flare the ends of the pin to retain it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom E Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 It's worth grtting a new rivet (pin) also. Can save you getting really pissed off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carmoney Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Here's a quick tip on replacing a hammer nose: The perfect tool for flaring the rivet on an old-style S&W hammer is the vise-grip-style tool marketed by Brownells for flaring the legs on a 1911 plunger tube. Using that tool, a perfect staking job can be completed in about five seconds--squeeze, flip it over, squeeze again, and you're done! It may not be worth buying the tool just for one hammer nose rivet, but if you like to mess with revos and 1911s, it's a good thing to have on the bench.

Bubber Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 How do I go about telling that.... it's a M10-6.Thanks, CDPMatt, As Toolguy suggest you can check that way. My two model 10-7 have no spring. I believe that the K frames do not use a spring but the L & N frames do. And the Hammer noses are different for the L, N and K frames. Be sure to order the correct one and a hammer nose rivet. I have changed out a few and it is realatively easy, as Carmoney describes. Hope this is helpful.
