[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Ring or skeletonized hammer?

Posted: 5/3/2011 9:17:00 PM EDT

Rebuilding a Colt MKIV Combat Commander (enhanced, duckbill and slanted slide serrations).

Trying to decide between an old-school ring or skeletonized hammer. Thoughts?

I'm partial to ring myself...has a good retro vibe with no major performance hit.

It sounds like your looking for a unique build so go non-traditional. Post some pics of that hot rod when you can!

Teddy Jacobson modded a factory Colt hammer for me with that larger eye.
I like that hammer.

ETA; I also like the cast in [gasp] magwell, just prefer the version with open front. Nice pistol there.
