Improvement for our long, out of state, motorcycle trips gun

[Bawanna]

I don't have any issue with push off, its near new, totally unmessed with. My issue is holding on to the little nub of a hammer as it starts forward as in your gonna take a single action shot and then change your mind.

The hammer has enough forward pressure that it can easily get away from you if you don't have a good thumb on it.

I just figure it for a DA only for now.

OK, I think I know what he did. I just realizedthat your gun is hammerless. He could play with the springs all he wanted until misfires occurred. There was no concern of single action mode, hammer push off because of a too light main/hammer spring.[/QUOTE]

No, the 638 has a shielded hammer. SA now is feather touch. In other words, finger out of the trigger guard until pointed in the right direction and ready to fire.

Edit: I just wanted to note that SA was pretty nice from the factory. Just the slightest movement of the trigger to fire it. But the polishing and spring lightening made it almost ridiculous. I bet it will make this 1 7/8" barrel gun surprisingly accurate at longer distances. I haven't had a chance to range test it, yet. Of course, self defense will be DA. And for my crippled hands, the 4.25 lb pull works like 7-8 lb for most people. It still has the long trigger pull like a Kahr. So, it's safe for me to handle.
