38/32 Hammer Stud

[JP509]

I picked up a 38/32 at a Sherrif's auction pretty cheap as it was in bad shape and I wanted a project gun. When I dis-assembled it I found the hammer stud had broken off flush with the inside. I looked for a replacement at all the parts places and no luck. I was thinking of sending it back to S&W for repair but with the condition of the gun I'm not sure it is worth the investment. Is this something a regular gunsmith could fix? Anyone know where I could get a replacement stud?? Anyone know of a good gunsmith in the middle GA area?? Any help or advice is appreciated.

Did you check with Numrich? They usually have them in stock for most models.

OK, devil's advocate. What gun are you talking about? Is it a .32 or .38 what? Single action, double action? Those hammer studs will interchange but is your gun an antique or a more modern Hand Ejector? There is no .38/.32 so this will really help the lame one's identify the part.

YES, there is, .38 S&W on the .32 Hand Ejector frame. It is called the Terrier.

I doubt S&W would work on it anyway. Have heard that only work on model marked guns and even some of those they decline. Numerich show it is out of both the screw in type as well as the press in ones. Try JACKS FIRST.

Thanks for most of the replies.

The gun is in fact a 38/32 Terrier and it has a pressed in hammer stud. I had checked Numerich with no luck. I didn't know if the hammer studs vary in size depending on the model but they look the same on most of the models I have.

Jacks first also has some press in ones for J frames

There IS a .38/.32 Terrier based upon the round butt 'I' frame! Later it became the Model 32. I learned something new. No help with the part though.

There is a .38/32 Terrier and a .38/32 Regulation Police (note the periods); became the Mod 32 and Mod 33.

Thanks Steelslaver for the link. I placed the order with Jacks.
