The problem with bobbing a hammer on a gun with a spur is that you can make it unreliable. You've decreased the mass of the hammer right where it's the most important, at the top of the arc.

That's fine if you just want a range toy, but probably not great for self defense.
Very valid point, however I carried a bobbed model 36 for years (nor spurless but bobbed) the law of 'diminishing returns' were never applicable after thousands of rounds, maybe it was the exception or maybe changing springs ever so often (sweat or habit) helped

Great point though...
