Since I use double action revolvers for everything, I have no real need for a hammer spur and on some of my revolvers, I have removed them. I had a Model 36 that I removed the spur. I did not alter it to DAO but there was not need. I did not remove the spur from my Model 36-1, not sure why as that was the revolver I carried the most during that decade. Now, I prefer the 45 ACP cartridge and revolver. I cobbled this from a basket case Model 25-2.
It is a fantastic carry option and accurate enough for PPC competition. I no longer compete but I still shoot. I should have built this back when I competed!
The hammer spur is removed and the resulting scar polished. The trigger has been smoothed and polished. The action has been gone over and it is DAO. The trigger pull is one of the best, and it still has factory springs. I do not like light pulls. I like smooth, consistent trigger pulls. This one has that, in spades!
