Handi Hammer bob?
« on: March 16, 2012, 07:40:58 PM »
Not trying to offend any one here but to anwser this ? "which hammer extension are you all using and how much are you cutting off the hammer? I installed a tasco scope on the 357 barrel and looks like i will have to trim about .25 inches off to clear. the extension i have is terrible! the angle is wrong, doesnt fit right and is sharp on the finger. thinking of trying the round one from uncle mikes. any help?" I use the factory trigger extention and the 1/4" removal bob is pretty standard all ya need to remove is just enough to get the clearance. Not sure what extention you have that's bad angle and sharp but the H&R ones work ok for me. Kurt

Mornin,

I use the Uncle Mike jobber.... But you don't trim off that much maybe .125. Install ext, trim off what sticks out, polish a bit and cold blue, then oil.

Hopefully it will be enough...

Sounds like you have the flat one.  They are sharp edged, and lighter than the round ones.  I prefer the round one by GROVTEC.  Made in USA, better set screw. But others get fancier.  Look in the FAQs for plenty of info on better hammer extensions.
Think as if you LIFE depends on it... IT does..!  Be Well...
