A carbide cut off wheel in a Dremel tool works well.
With a Dremel grinding wheel you can cut a groove in the bottom of the spur the width and radius of your original 455 hammer top surface and glue it on. Almost any glue will likely hold it in place and I'd start with Wilhold glue. Worst case scenario you can resort to epoxy. The spur can always be knocked off the hammer to restore the gun to original.

Now that's a capital idea - make a "hammer shoe"! No tedious hammer/sear/trigger fitting. No damage to the original hammer. I could use Acraglas gel and heat would allow removal later if need be. I think I could taper the front edges down to blend with the existing hammer and faux case color with Oxpho blue cream. I have a couple of projects going, but this one just moved to the front burner.
Man, it's great to know smart people!
Thanks for the idea Hondo.
Have you ever seen this done? It would be nice to see one before starting.
I'm gonna have to find a hammer, I don't have one laying about.
