K-22 Hammer

[redranger1]

Last summer i purchased my first K-22. Its a fun pistol to shoot except the hammer spur broke off. I knew it had been welded there before but didnt realize it was weak. Anyhow i would like to get the correct hammer for this old 4 screw revolver. Anybody know where i can find one? Thanks!

What is the serial number of the gun? Is it the speed hammer, aka the fish hook hammer? You may be able to get one from Jack First Inc., or place a Want to Buy ad in the Classifieds section.

Ill try to get the serial number tonight. How many different variations are there?

Two if the 'fish hook' style: .265" standard and .375" wide spur target.

If the later style which maybe the case for a 4 screw gun, there are also two: .375" semi target and .500" target, if I'm remembering correctly.

I recently purchased a used 4 screw k-22. The hammer broke off while firing the first 25 rounds. It was a .500 wide hammer. I got the part and installation done by S&W. The Hammer was $57 and the labor was about the same. All better now... shoots nice. The hammer showed signs of being defective, however S&W would not warranty the part.

I have purchased parts from Numerich of late for other repairs, however they charge about $2-4 extra per part over S&W prices, and sometimes send you used vs the advertised new part. I recently had to return two hammers before obtaining a .500 Wide Target Hammer. Then they send me a used one, although complete instead of stripped.

Get your parts from the manufacturer. S&W is easy to deal with and sometimes will even ship you a screw or two for free.
