Believe triggers are already stainless steel, I have a spurred hammer in my 669 which I believe came out of a 645, what do you mean by "decocker only"? The spurred hammers, (notably ALL hammers), used by Smith in SS pistols are made of CARBON STEEL, as SS is not durable enough mechanically. A...

Years back, I picked up a Ram-Line SS mag for my 669, and since have regretted many times over not buying at least several. Capacity is 15 rds., compared to factory 12. I've searched to no avail to find whether Ram-Line still makes these, but found nothing. I believe one of the big suppliers...

Help me understand more, please! The grip safety blocks the sear from movement? Or the hammer from falling? If former, then latter follows. I THINK the idea is the grip safety prevents an unintentional release of the sear due to sudden, harsh jarring or impact to the weapon. Would this be...
