My new Taylor Cattleman 44 special has the three click retractable firing pin abortion. My back order finally came in for a non safety 4 click hammer and trigger.
You can see I already striped nasty red cloudy urethane gunk off the grip, stained it and used about 6 coats of linseed oil on it
The bottom short barrel gun is a Uberti CMS short stroke pro

Couple days later I found I could get the wide low hammer. Got it from Cimarron,(their last one) a non safety, 4 click low wide hammer that I will put be putting in the 4 3/4" barrel 44 spl. I like the Cimarron low hammer shape better than the Taylor low hammer(not shown)
The Low hammer came with polished rub surfaces. It still needed a little de-burring/ stoning . The regular hammer needs de- burring also and Ill stone and polish it too. For a extra for another gun

Got a unfinish grip also looks like walnut. Interesting, these Uberti rough grips wont take much more to finish fitting them to the frame.
That original red urathane finish was tough to get off. Wasnt using my regular max strength stripper. Took several applications to melt it and get it scraped off with a bondo squeegee. It was surface thick also. Wood was very light/white , not sure it was even walnut. I stained it straight with Laural Mtn American Walnut, then plenty Laurel Mtn Honey Maple added to the linseed oil . Color doesnt show in the pic
