Smith & Wesson triger push off "HELP"
We just received a Smith & Wesson 4" Mod. 15 revolver. It will shoot in double action but when you try to cock the hammer it just falls. We took the haammer out and examined it to find the notch was broken where it would normally hold the trigger back in the ready position for single action firing. We installed a new hammer and it will now stay back except it has light push off. meaning we can push on the hammer ever so lightly and the hammer will fall. What did we do wrong and what do we do to correct it. Thanks in advance

You need to check the sear as well, they often get rounded or damaged and will cause them hammer to fall if pushed. Pretty common problem on well-used K-frames. Might check the springs as well. HTH
