Hammer or Hammerless?

...NICE job!!!

Nice Bob Job. I've never missed the exposed hammer on my Centennial. I would much prefer a smoothed over DA pull vs. cocked revolver for defensive work - it doesn't take much excitement to generate potential for an AD...

...for a stiff trigger on a gun I didn't want to pay to have smoothed...Gun Butter has made a lot of difference for me...I remove the sideplate and apply it sparingly at all contact surfaces...noticeable difference...only had to use it once...haven't a clue why it works well...

that most likely I would never have the time to cock the hammer if the situation came up. I like the fact that without the hammer it is one less thing that could snag clothing

One of our posters kindly gave me instructions on ordering replacement springs and do-it-yourself steps for my S&W 442. Replaced the trigger spring. Helped quite a bit.

personal preference, I want the hammer. For a carefully aimed shot, I want all the advantages available, and dropping the trigger pull 2-3 pounds has helped me make those tight snake shots I may have missed otherwise.
