The hammer nose just broke on my 19. Brownells has a replacement one from Power Custom, do any of you have any experience with this item - are they good to go?

Power Custom parts are of high quality. They also make oversized hands and cylinder stops for S&W revolvers.

Their parts are good. Get yourself a few Rivets also while you're at it.

Bought the kit, easy install. Everything fit perfect.

Thanks for the update. It benefits all to know how things ended up.

DD357 be aware that this is an Extended Hammer Nose and if you dig into the directions provided by Power Custom you'll find a note that it "may" require a bit of fitting. I used this kit to replace the factory original hammer nose on my 19-3 that was so short the revolver wouldn't fire one single CCI 550 Magnum primer in double action even after using a primer cup on the strain screw to increase the DA trigger weight to over 12.5 lbs.

After replacing the hammer nose I removed that shim on the strain screw which restored the DA trigger weight to 9.0 lbs, just where I like my DA revolver triggers weighted. First time out the dimples in the primers had the deepest dimples I have ever seen in a primer. Over the next two range sessions I did a bit of re-shaping the tip with a diamond file to get a somewhat normal looking dimple that is just a touch deeper than typical. Point is you will want to take a close look at your fired cases and determine if you need to do a bit of fitting.
