I remember viewing a photograph of such a hammer and nodding as I thought how useful the bobbed hammer was.

But, of course, I do not have the photograph, nor do I know gunsmiths who do such work on SP101s.
You could probably call ruger and get one. They make the SP101 in DAO with a bobbed hammer.

To the OP, yes, I've gotten my Colt DS snagged on my shirt a few times practicing drawing from the appendix. I think it has the potential to be an issue in a real situation. I think I've had my Browning HiPower get snagged a time or two also practicing. It's not the ring hammer.

I wouldn't be opposed to having an exposed hammer for a carry revolver, but I would get it bobbed for sure.
