I was wondering if anyone could do me a favor if they have the book and look up a Smith and Wesson Model 41 serial # A643119 for date. TIA.

I sent mine back to Smith. The said the barrel was mis-aligned. They fixed it. All it well now. They had is for about 4 weeks.

I just ran across this thread. I have the exact same issue with a new Talo edition 686.. I was wondering how you made out? What did Smith and Wesson do to correct the problem?

How about the 3" 686+ with an unfluted cylinder? Just purchased a Talo edition .357 series and looking for holster recommendations. And I will say thanks!

That makes sense. I was just wondering what the physical differences between the hammers is. When looking at them side by side the only difference I can see is the obvious lack of a hammer on the bobbed one.

I found stainless steel factory bobbed hammer on gun broker and installed it with no problem. I have a question though. I thought I would still be able to set the hammer back if I wanted to take a SA shot. But this is not the case. The boobed hammer will not stay in the cocked position...
