I bobbed the hammer on my model 60 and have not had any problems.

Any issues w/ hammer bob on S&W 637- J Frame?
- Thread starter davis211

The pocketbook came with a velcro holster and the fit is good for the J frame - it's just that the hammer snags when drawn from a horizontal position. The holster is thick on the top and has a reinforced tab - that's what the hammer is snagging....but it needs to be in a holster to protect the trigger IMO. If you lay the pistol in there w/o the holster, the hammer still snags on the material liner if not drawn perfectly horizontal.

Bob it. In case you're concerned about hammer fall/strike just get Wolff Xtra power I/J frame mainspring. I put them in all my Is and Js and they are great. They are still nice and smooth stroking (easy now....) and they snap with authority.
The Wolf Springs will fix a 442.
My old 442 has been slicked up, by me, and she shoots sweet. Tuned the action, beveled the front and rear of the cylinder, and chamfered the chambers. I’ve got a target somewhere from when I worked at Marietta PD; 5 rounds of semi-wadcutter, all overlapping, at 25yds.
If you're going to pick up a spare hammer, my advice do it sooner rather than later. You put it off, they may all disappear. Not likely, but I've been bit in the past by procrastinating.
So mean & hurtful.
There are 3 at home that were shown the wolf love & are doing great.
Try it down the road if the opportunity presents itself.
Nothing to it. Took about 10 min once in the vice. Couldn’t tell any difference in primer strikes and the CT grips were still on target. Everything has nice round edges and no snagging.
