| I have always wanted to bob the hammer on my SA MilSpec since I got it. Is this going to have a negative effect on ignition? |
| Bobbing hammers is also done to decrease lock time (the amount of time between hammer release and impact), which can improve your accuracy (not the gun's inherent accuracy). I've only heard of ignition problems when done to revolvers in conjunction with lightening the hammer spring. Bobbing the hammer probably had nothing to do with the ignition problems, which were eliminated by tuning the hammer spring. . |

Seriously, you could have the hammer cut flush to the slide and still have reliable ignition. True. I did a lot of work for a fellow who used to like to do this to his hammers. Never a problem with ignition. Plenty of OTHER problems but nothing hammer related.
