de-spurring a hammer
Thinking about de-spurring the hammer on a Browning HI-Power. I see companies offer this and was thinking I could do it with a dremmel and some file work. I would use some blue in a tube or Duracoat for touch up. Is this as straight forward as I make it sound or am I missing something? Would I need to go to a heavier spring because the hammer will be a bit lighter weight? I would go with a Commander hammer, but I think that is above my skill set.
Thanks,
Rob

I would modify a replacement hammer not the original. The only issue I have with the original design is the magazine safety which I would "fix".
I would plan for a heavier hammer spring, it could be needed.0 -
I have done a number over the years. More to get rid of hammer "Bite" than anything else. Never had to change the main spring.
Like Charlie says though. Don't do it with the original hammer. I got a replacement hammer from "Cylinder and Slide". Fitting a replacement hammer wasn't that difficult.
Brownells carries them also. Fitting a hammer without a spur, would get the Dremeling out of the equation.0 -
It is to get rid of the hammer bite. Maybe I'll snag one of the police/surplus ones that AIM has from time to time and tinker with it. Once you mentioned about leaving it uncut I realized you guys are right. The pistol was a gift from around 25 years ago and should be left intact.

Aim had a bunch, on the last e-mail they sent me. Both the originals, and Feg/Hungarian clones. Very good prices, probably 1/3 to 1/2 off what a original Hi-Power would set you back.0
