Bobbed my 3” 66-4

[CH4]

Having a spare K target hammer and some time, I further defiled my 3” 66-4. I was pleasantly surprised that my Galco shoulder holster still holds it securely.

Looks like serious business

What are the small indents on the front edge of the cylinder between the flutes?

Carbon
Needs cleaning

A shame you smoked a target hammer, with all the service hammers floating around. But hey, your gun, do with as you please

I thought target hammers are the least desirable of hammers, that’s why it was sacrificed. I would have felt bad bobbing a service hammer. Just need it to cock the hammer, not paddle a canoe.

Looks like the ultimate conceal carry package to me. Well Done ! But I’d prefer a 4 o’clock OWB carry.

Nice job, I feel the same about target hammers.

Have had a bobbed hammer on my 3" 65 since the mid-80s. I'm shooting DAO so why deal with the "snag" factor.

True. I despise bobbed hammers. Won't own a gun with one.

I can understand that. I despise lima beans so I don’t eat them.

The range guys at my department bobbed the hammer on my Colt Cobra that was carried in an undercover role for a few months. They did an excellent job but I’ve regretted changing the profile of that classic ever since.

You did an excellent job on it, looks great for carry now. What are the sights on it, they give it a nice appearance. Is the rear sight a U notch?? Larry

Looks like a fixed combat sight from D&L Sports. I have one on my 629 3" barrel.

Just a guess, but looks like the "back blast" you get when the frame is drilled and tapped (as the recent revolvers have been for years now) and the revolver is fired.

Exactly

Interestingly, there’s no hint of flame cutting. Seems the previous owner never shot magnums.
