Hammer Installation
Is a target hammer likelier to be a drop in, easy fit, or major fit to a M27?

Probably drop in, depending on the trigger. Otherwise, easy fit, usually. There are no absolutes, too many variables.

Contemplating putting the long barrel back on and getting a target hammer. (I had an 8.375" put on for IHMSA but soon went to M29 and Contender, so returned to the 3.5" that came on it.) 3.5" .357s are kewl but I'm too old to play G-man and will get more use from it as a heavy target gun.

All post war hammers/triggers I switched have been drop in easy. Pre war, not so much.

I had changed out the hammer on my old 5" model 27 back in the 80's or early 90's as I was having problems with the original and the new target hammer assembly turned out to be a drop in for me. Of course your mileage may vary. If you do have problems you might try swapping the sear off your old hammer to the new one and see if that works before doing any fitting on the new sear and hammer.

Does anyone know what punch size is needed to fit the pins on a Smith k frame hammer. I need to change out a the sear on mine as it is to long.

The one I just measured is .0685. A 1/16 (.0625) punch will work fine.
