Ok all you HiPower owners, what type of hammer do you prefer on the Hipower? Do you like the spur? Or the various commander loop style?

), the round hammer is easier to secure when you're putting sear pin back in. I like the look of the round as well.
To call the round hammer on a Hi Power a "Commander" hammer is an affront to the memory of John Browning and Deuidonne Saive. Call it round, rowel, lanyard or ring.............but it AIN'T a Commander.
If anything, the round hammer on a Colt Commander should be called a Hi Power hammer (since the HP and dozens of other handguns had similiar hammers decades before Colt figured out it was stylish) End of rant |

I prefer the look and feel of the loop hammer over the spur. I had a stainless loop hammer installed on the first BHP that I got back in 1978 (a 74C Which I foolishly sold) and it took a little bit of fitting to get it to work correctly.
I just installed one on my 73C that I now have and it dropped right in with no fitting at all. Here are some pics of my 73C: Before:

I much prefer the spur, as it does not bite me under recoil––-plus, it kinda sets the gun apart, because rounded hammers are on EVERYTHING these days. http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg213/scaled.php?server=213&filename=img4719w.jpg&res=medium This right here. |
