I'd like to thank those of you that offered advice on this project. I was ready to trade this great little revolver in for a 442/340 until I got the insight (and nerve) to cut the MIM hammer. It's SOooo much better now. I left just enough hammer stub to allow cocking and even decocking (with care!) but not enough to catch on a pocket liner, etc.
For anybody interested in details. I pulled the hammer out, marked it with tape and then used a dremel to cut from the first row of checkering on top to the tip of the web on the bottom. The resultant cut was very clean and only needed to be dressed up with a few minutes on a set of knife sharpening stones before getting a couple dabs of cold blue.
Here are some pics of the finished product. I'm back in love with this gun now.
