If you don’t want to mess up your hammer - another option.

I went on EBay and found a hammer for my Model 36 - busted spur from being dropped i guess.

$25 out the door, a little grinding polishing and bluing gave me a bobbed hammer - had more trouble getting the sideplate off than anything else (couple of raps with a screwdriver handle on the grip frame and it finally popped off, but I digress!). The original went into my ever-expanding parts box so I can “restore” it if I want to.

Having it along anywhere beats not having it with it home in the drawer.


If the gun isn't a collector and you like it, bob the hammer.

Or get a 442 or an old M38 if you like J frames.

Just carry the gun.

Nothing wrong with pocket carry.
