Model 10-7 Hammer

[hatchet jack]

I bought a skinny barrel model 10-7 off gunbroker and the seller didn't notice that the tip of the hammer spur had been broken off. I didn't see it either until I started cleaning up the gun. My question is will a hammer from a 10-5 fit the 10-7 gun? There are several 10-5 hammers listed on Ebay for around $25 or $30 dollars and one 10-7 hammer for a whopping $70. If a 10-5 will fit I will just buy one of those.

I did remove the hammer and used a grinder and ground the back of the hammer spur to a nice radius and its usable but just a little harder to cock with the shorter spur. So I do want to repair the gun. And I really like the taper barrel model 10s. This one is a little rough. It looks like it spent its life in a leather holster under a truck seat. It has some light pitting on the top strap and cylinder. Its not perfect but fine for a field use gun that you are not afraid of getting damaged.

Thanks in advance.

Well I guess no one has any answers. I will call S&W on Monday and see what they have to say. I am better the triggers will swap around between a model 10-5 and 10-7.

Well lots of people looked but no one seems to know the answer to the question. But i know. I got out my model 10-5 and took the hammer out and tried it in the 10-7 and it works just like it was made for it. So the answer is "Yes" the hammers will interchange and work in either gun.

Yes, it will fit, it may or may not mesh with the original trigger.'s DA fly

It worked like it was the original trigger in the gun. They both swapped back and forth between both guns.

Sometimes you get lucky. Hopefully the hammer you buy will also drop-in without needing adjustment.

Steelslaver is suggesting that if the replacement hammer doesn't mesh, swap the double action sear from the original hammer to the replacement hammer. Be careful and don't lose the tiny spring!!!

Thats a very good idea. Thanks for that. The new hammer should be here November 6th. Once I get it installed i will post how well it worked.

Hammer came today. Had it installed in 10 minutes or less and it works perfectly. Tested for push off in single action mode and couldn't get the sear to slip. Bought from EBay for $32 and fast shipping. Looks like its new but its not. So that worked out well.

Now if I wanted I can grind the spur off the old hammer for a DAO gun. But I never will.
