97BD hammer?
« on: December 31, 2015, 11:02:10 PM »
Friends, does the 97bd have two sear hooks on the hammer?
Was doing a clean and slick on my 97bd and the hammer only has the single hook at full cock.   
Yes I am completely sure.  Right side only has a hook. Lt side looks like it may have been cast without one.   
Half cock is correct and both sides have a hook/ledge on half cock. 
Is it a decocker hammer feature?

Yup, There is only a single SA hook on the right side of the hammer

Ok thanks.   
The left side sort of looks like a rounded off spot where there should be one, reason why I asked.
I have this 97 bd suumoothed up well.   
Polished up every thing that looks like it can rub.   
Had a time putting it back together. 
I did not pull the firing pin and clean that out however.

Very nice. Polishing the internals is a great way to improve the feel of the 97.
I was more taken with the size of the stock hammer hooks than the single SA hook. The hook profile of the stock hammer looks like a big fish mouth.



Stock hammer on left. CGW comp ring hammer on right.
