Well, it is about as finished as it is going to get... Set off all rounds in my test gun just fine. I gave it a quick polish and blue (hammer is hard--doesn't like reblue), and put the hammer and matching trigger into my CCW DW. For some more testing, I have left the factory springs in place. I think it looks pretty good....

So how did this turn out when shooting? Were there any problems firing the gun? Inquiring minds (who just bought a gun with a bobbed hammer) want to know.

I have another thread on here somewhere, but bottom line is it shot fine. Don't forget though--I personally went over this entire revolver and slicked up the entire action, changed springs, etc.

If you are not going to use the single action mode you can strengthen the mainspring.
I dropped a wood ball slightly smaller than the main spring hole in the hole. The hammer will not cock in SA mode but will fire in DA. I installed a Wolf 7.5# mainspring and had inconsistent ignition. The ball cured it. I ordered the 8# spring.

Looking at this picture I have a question or two. 1. What model is this
the 14-2? 2. Did you have to modify the pistol grip and grip frame
any? 3. The cylinder looks different. Is it just un-blued? The pistol
really looks great.

Wow--Sorry I never saw this post until now... This is/was a stock 14-2. The grip frame is stock, but the gun now wears a set of LB SHOOTIST grips. I installed the Stainless cylinder to give it a little sexier look.
It runs just fine with the bobbed hammer, but I also went over every inch of the gun when I had it apart--tuned and lubed.
