MIM Hammer ?

[Dave T]

One of my carry guns is a 325 NG. During a recent practice session I had several occasions when the long spur on the hammer hung up during presentation. I'd like a bobbed hammer for this gun but question how the MIM hammer will take to lobbing off the spur. My plan would be to buy a spare hammer and have one lobbed, retaining the other for re-sale when I'm gone.

Anyone here bobbed an MIM hammer? Any problems with it?

I bob all my hammers , they come out fine

I do it with a dremel, and various grits sanding wheels.

Alternitively, you can buy an aftermarket bobbed hammer, and have it fit to your gun if you want to keep your stock hammer un altered.-- From Welcome to Apex Tactical Specialties, Inc. . But that will run you close to 200 for the hammer.

I have, they come out nice. They are HARD AS HELL though. I also hollowed out the internals since it was my gaming gun. That's where I learned how hard they are, it laughed at every drill bit I had until I whipped out the solid carbide.

The APEX hammers are really nice (I have 2) but MIM hammers are much easier to fit, not to mention cheap should you screw something up. And last I thought you could get 5 MIM hammers for one APEX.

As has been said, no problem reworking the MIM hammers. They take cold blue nicely leaving an almost black bluing. I've also welded (tig) together a couple hammer remnants, was curious, and they welded just fine.
