The larger pin in the trigger body can be driven out, and a regular, pinned hand installed, if desired.
Wow. I've been taking apart pretty much every Smith I've owned since 1972 or so and never come across one of them before, ever. I thought it was an aftermarket modification. So now I'm curious - what issue was Smith trying to address, what's to so strongly like or dislike?

The revolver locks up tight now but I was wondering what the heck to do if the hand got a little tired. Glad to know there's an option. Thanks for the info.
