One of the things I totally dislike about the 627s I have and most of the Smith L frames and N frames from the factory that I have handled, is the hand ratchet interface. There is a hard bind and I have invested lots of my time and energy in trying to make them feel like the old N frames. I have two 627-2 six inch guns that I have sent back to the factory for rebuilds several times, each time requesting a smooth early carry up and smooth after lockup follow through. Ha! They are not able to do it!! Or won't.

The most amazing thing about the new Rev up hammer is that it totally solves this issue on all three of the 627-2s I've tried it on. I have no idea why the hammer has that affect on the trigger, hand and ratchet works, but it sure does in my guns! I almost always shoot double action, only single action in long range shooting with my .44 Mags, so this new hammer is just what I have been looking for, action wise for my shooting guns.

Right now I only have two of the hammers, but I know I need one for an L frame and another N frame one.

By the way, this is a very well made hammer, and it comes with all the stuff you need to install it. And customer service it top notch!

Thanks for the review, Richard. Much appreciated.

Once there's a SA/DA version, would like to get one for my 627PC.

Hi HK. We are planning to make a SA/DA version at some point. We have to get the project on solid ground before we can do more variations. Thanks for your support.

I would be interested too. Thanks.

Thanks, Glenn. Whenever we come out with something new, we'll make an announcement to alert anyone who may be interested. It will probably be a while before we do the ones with a hammer spur and SA notch.

Just ordered my second RevUp hammer for another N frame. I love the way it functions. Great product in my opinion.

Thanks for the report, rd97! It's much appreciated.

Well I don't have a trigger scale but a first blush this hammer is going to be an amazing change! Tomorrow I'm going to pick up a hammer pin shim and start the strain screw tuning. I'm thinking about using the stock strain screw seated tight as would have been with the stock hammer..what say the experts? Or will I have to use the supplied strain screw?

Nightowl · #61 08-17-2022, 09:28 PM

My experience is that you will need a longer main spring strain screw. The original on my guns was not strong enough for reliable ignition. Had a great double action though!!

michpatriot · #62 08-17-2022, 09:34 PM

Well that was fast! Ok good info. Thanks. Ill have to tune with the short screw that came with the kit then.

All the guns I tried it in were a little different, so you will need to experiment a little. I have three and it is an amazing change in all my guns that i have them in.

I'm going to adjust for CCI to light reliably then I should be safe on everything else. On the fence on buying a trigger pull gauge but probably will just adjust to where I'm comfortable reliability wise and let it rest there. It's my camp sidearm and I just want a better double action. I put the light 11lb rebound in first but ill have to see how that goes when shooting fast..might end up with the 12lb rebound.

Protocall_Design · #65 08-18-2022, 08:56 AM

If you dial the mainspring up to do CCI primers, it's likely you'll need to go to a slightly heavier rebound spring. Even so, the final trigger pull weight will still be only what the new rebound spring is without the hammer installed, just the trigger and rebound spring and slide.

michpatriot · #66 08-18-2022, 09:57 AM

Thanks for the quick and helpful feedback fellas!

Nothing can help my shooting.

However, thanks for the effort bringing this to market.

I got my K/L frame kit Monday and it's phenomenal! Trigger pull is very consistent and even though it's over 9 pounds it feels comfortable and more like a DA Auto than a revolver.

I set my to a higher DA pull because I'm using it on a 617 and .22s take a lot of hammer drop to set off the primer compound. I want to use CCI Mini Mags and they take more pressure than my normal Remington Bucket Of Bullets.

I've been dry firing the gun for the last few days to get use to it. I've done some live-fire testing against my other 617 and my groups with the RevUpHammer Kit are much better. I'm really liking this product.

Thanks for the review, AZ. It's always good to hear from one of the pros!
