| I have a hammer that is not like most standard hammers that I've seen in parts kits. The hammer has the step cut on the front end, however from the top of the hammer it forms a long curve terminating at the rear point. Very different from the hammers that angle down to the point. Just wondering if this style could be a clue as to the manufacturer and/or age of the hammer. Is this style hammer any less reliable than the current manufacturing style? Thanks for any information. |

The notch is cut into the hammer to prevent slam fires. Basically, that notch grabs the ring around the firing pin should the disconnector fail to hold the hammer down during the firing cycle. Hope this helps. J |
