trigger swap 624 without hammer swap?

[Daimler1989]

Hello,

I think about replacing the trigger of my 624 4" (smooth combat trigger, I guess .400) with the .500 target trigger.

I live in Germany and here it's nearly impossible to get any spare parts, esp those stainless triggers and hammers. As it happens, there is a deactivated 629 that belongs to my huntig association as a training gun for revolver handling. This one has a .500 trigger, but a target hammer that has been cut off at the front with the firing pin. Would it be possible to swap the triggers only as I would need to keep the hammer on my 624 ?

How about fitting ? For the training gun trigger characteristics don't matter, but I surely would like a working crisp trigger on the 624 (no problem to bring it to a gunsmith).

regards from Germany

From a compatibility standpoint, the exchange will work without any issues. However, some minor fitting may be required for proper function.

I've had it go both ways when swapping out a hammer or a trigger alone. Usuallythey just drop in and have worked fine for me. I've had one or two that didn't work, without a bit of "adjustment". But nothing major.

I favor the wide triggers myself. Post up a photo of that 624, it's near the top on my "most wanted" list.

Your current trigger is much preferred for DA shooting.
However, if it's just a target piece for you, I can understand the
desire for the TT.

thanks everyone for input,

I do quite some DA shooting with all of my revolvers, but I found that even the wide target trigger then feels comfortable to me (large hands). But in fact there might be more SA use than DA.

So I guess I should give it a try. Disassemble both and swap parts. If there should be some strange malfunctions or things I don't like, a good gunsmith is at hand.

here we go

that's how it came to me

that's with Ahrends Retro Target

that's after having it roundbutted with Ahrends Retro Bananas

and that's my favorite configuration: Hogue fancy hardwood without finger grooves

that's how it shoots (10 meters, 12 rounds)
