3 cylinder lock up 3 due not,
does anyone make a new hand or pawl /
or is there a way to stretch the pawl without breaking , the pawl as it is is case hardened,

The hand of S&W revolvers functions by thickness, not length. There is no such thing as a longer hand!

If you really want to understand how S&W revolvers function you need to buy a copy of "The S&W Revolver, a Shop Manual."

Oversize hands (overwide hands) are available on the market. Try Midway, GunPartsCorp and Brownells. You may need a special file to open up the slot as well just a tad. Brownells sells those too, maybe Midway as well.
