Hi:
I have a Model 457 Semi-Auto .45acp.
To change it from DAO to SA/DA what is involved ?
Thanks,
Jimmy

It depends on how it was coverted. Usually changing it back involves replacement of the hammer. The DA only revolvers that I have seen have not had an SA cocking notch on the hammer foot.
Here's a thread from 2010 with additional info..............

The Model 457 is a Semi-Auto Pistol. Does the same changing the hammer in a Revolver also apply to a Semi-Auto ?
Thank you,

Sorry.....another senior moment. For some reason, I thought you were referring to a revolver model. (657)

Hi, Jimmy!
Did it come DAO from the factory with the round plug in the slide where the safety would be?

Good Morning, John:
My Model 457 has a spurless hammer, but the hammer can be "cocked" for the first shot. I am thinking (sometimes) that if a hammer with a spur was added I would have what I want ??
The pistol is two tone with a bright frame and blued slide. SN VCD76--.
Thank you ,

Hi, Jimmy!
If the spurless hammer on your 457 can be cocked for the first shot and you have a manual safety on the slide, then your pistol is already DA/SA(Double action/Single action) or what S&W calls TDA(Traditional Double Action) and not DAO(Double Action Only).
Yes, you can substitute a spurred hammer for ease of thumb cocking without making any other changes.
Hope this helps!
