S&W hammerless safety

I can not help you on a drawing of the hammerless....

When S&W came out with their CENTENIAL model a few years ago, it was a hamerless but, WITHOUT THE SQUEZE SAFETY. I carried one for a while. I think they raped the gun! The old 1887 "Lemon Squeezers" required you to squeeze the safety or the gun would not function.

Chicoine wrote a book. Gunsmiting the guns of the old west. Krause published it. Good schematics, parts breakdown and troubleshooting tips.
 
"I'd rather re-time a Colt Thunderer than take the sideplate off a top-break Smith." -A Gunsmith Friend. :D
 
The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly Part II Revolvers has a detailed section on taking these apart. The pictures are dark and lack detail but should make sense with the text.
 
There is almost no internal resemblance between the modern S&W Model 40 (and successors) and the old top-break Safety Hammerless. I would dispute Tamara's friend and vote for the Colt as worse, but they are close and have the same problem - fragile parts that break and can't be replaced.

Jim Keenan,

I asked Shannon about that myself, knowing the early Colt DA's reputation. His answer was that your average top-break Schmittie today has already had at least two folks who didn't know what they were doing up inside it, while there's a better chance that the Colt will have all original (albeit broken) parts inside. ;)
