Forgive me if this has ever been covered(I searched). Is it possible to use a 642 or 638 hammer in a 637? Just looking for an alternative to bobbing the factory hammer.
Does anybody have pictures of the actual hammers not in the gun?

Don't know how well it shows in this photo, but I've used a 340 hammer in a 360 for a long time. Works fine. An MIM hammer from a 340 or 640 should work for you.

Can't see it in that pic, but I would really be interested in seeing a better pic of a 340 hammer in the 360. THX

Maybe this will work. Here's a pic with sideplate off/uncocked, sideplate off/cocked, and sideplate on/cocked. MIM stuff is pretty much interchangeable. Just pull one hammer out and drop the new one in.
