King Target Hammer

garbler · Mar 7, 2013

This is probably a long shot but wondering if anybody out there has a K-38/14 bullseye gun with a King offset target hammer. My primary interest right now is to see if somebody could provide me with a few close up photos of the hammer from the rear in an in-line perspective showing the amount of offset and a top photo of the pad where it was welded to the hammer body. Right or left hand makes no difference to me

Thanks

Also, use the search feature to look for "cockeye" -- there are other threads with photos.

Thanks David that is more or less what I am looking for and as I recall King actually stamped ' cockeyed hammer ' on these.

This is my only King hammer (on a Colt), though i do have a couple of Micro hammers too.

Yes. There was a photo of one here recently that I can't find now. It was marked that way.

Gdogs, love those Ropers.

Gdogs,

Hey that is pretty much what I was looking for and thanks. It is funny but some of the King S&W hammers almost look like they fabricated the thumb pad and welded it in place while other look like they built the pad up with weld then re-checkered it. Anyway there are differences from what I have seen which would be normal since each was made individually. Your Colt hammer is especially nice as are those Ropers

Regards and thanks

Here are a couple of photos of a cockeyed hammer on a King Supertarget K-22 Outdoorsman:

And one on a Reg Mag:

This is a "double cockeyed" done by Micro, just barely visible on the side of the hammer. Micro was started by employees that left King and then copied and produced their offerings.

What I like so much about this one on a pre war 45 is that the curve and teardrop under the back edge is so like the pre war S&W factory hammer style.

Old Seabee,
If it's wide on both sides it's a double cockeyed as shown above in post #8.
