I have an odd question. I want to get a spare hammer for my ASM 3rd Colt Dragoon. Finding an ASM hammer is not easy. Will a Pietta or Uberti hammer fit? Now I figure there might be some fitting involved, but, is it doable? Is it like a golden lab vs. a black lab or more like a pit bull and pug?
The reason for the question: I recently did a cylinder conversion job on the Dragoon and filed the hand a bit too much. It works OK, but I can feel it is a bit short. I bought a readily available Uberti hand (which is a work of art compared to the ASM hand!). The Uberti hand will work if I drill out the ASM hammer. Because of the difficulty in getting any ASM parts, I am reluctant to mess any further with ASM hammer or hand. Hence the question about getting a Pietta or Uberti hammer.
Thanks!
