Model 36 J frame hammer

[BikerMikeyBlack]

I have an old 1964 chief special that dropped and broke the hammer spur off so other than make it a bob I was looking for a new hammer and the ones I’m finding have no firing pin on the hammer they are just flat question is did they make different hammers later on with no firing pin attached?

The hammer itself is flat but it should have a slot where a firing pin nose is pinned on. Here is a picture from Gun Parts Corp. They show out of stock.

You can source a used hammer on ebay quite reasonably. Or, place a WTB ad on this forum.

You may be looking at a rimfire hammer, as in for a M34, M43 or M51. They would not have a hammer nose.

Yes, starting with the J-Magnum frame in 1996 the metal injection
molded hammers were flat, and like the ones M29... mentioned,
they struck a frame-mounted firing pin.

I think I may just very carefully bob it some with a file and call it good but wouldn’t mind having a good hammer too

Cure for broken hammer, the hammer from older models 38 and 49 work great , I like the look also...........

PD armor fitted one for me bobbed. He told m to keep the hammer and trigger together. He cautioned the sear needs to be fitted trigger with hammer. He had several years of SW training
