Ramp and polish the bolt like this oneI definitely would not want that. When you say polish, is it the hammer we're writing about or another component?
Would reducing the trigger over travel after the break help? Like, if the trigger has less distance to slam back on your finger? Wouldn't this be beneficial?
The top hook on the hammer catches the sear plate when the bolt goes rearward.Do both the top and bottom hooks of the hammer engage with the sear bar? I know the bottom for certain does, as this is where the trigger releases the hammer when pulled.
Can you elaborate on what the top hook does?

I have a few others but didn't feel like digging all them out. Here is a sample of two SWD and one marked Tooling Ent......note that the SWD one doesn't say Tooling Ent
This one has the ramped and polished bolt......haven't shot it so not sure how much less trigger slap it might have
there are 16 pics here so click image
You bought that one? Can you show where the bolt needs polishing? That .380 is very cool.Ramp and polish the bolt like this one
I thought about buying it but I wanted to better understand it all first instead of throwing money at it. My Cobray hammer broke, so I can't use it.Anyone tried the semi auto Lage trigger? It is said to reduce slap. I have one, but it has not been installed.

I too had problems with the FTF hammer. It would bind up every now and then. Still had the Cobray hammer and put that back in.
I haven't done anything to it since getting it....haven't even shot itYou bought that one? Can you show where the bolt needs polishing? That .380 is very cool.
I see the ramp but is that part necessary to do?
FA has a fixed firing pin.....doesn't have a hammer in there at allI thought about buying it but I wanted to better understand it all first instead of throwing money at it. My Cobray hammer broke, so I can't use it.
It looks cast whereas the FTF bolt is supposed to be machined?
Are the hammers for the SA and FA pistols the same? Maybe the semi hammers are different?
Every single one of those frames was manufactured by SWD, and the flats came from tooling enterprises, whether they are marked it or not. All of the “FMJ” “LEINAD” “CFT” etc frames were SWD manufactured parts being sold under different company names for legal reasons after Wayne and Sylvia divorced. Same people, same parts, same guns… if you purchased a stripped frame from SWD (like the M12 frames) they came with no manufacturer markings under the model name.
This is like really common knowledge in the MAC world and has been for many years…. LEINAD is “Daniel” spelled backwards FFS. It’s no secret that FMJ, LEINAD, CFT, ET CETERA were all Sylvia and Wayne Daniel (SWD) selling SWD guns under different company names. This isn’t like just some random crap I made up for the purpose of spreading disinformation…
Again, don’t just take my word for it… pick up a copy of the MACMAN book and do some research, all of the info in that book regarding SWD came from Wayne himself.
Oh, right.FA has a fixed firing pin.....doesn't have a hammer in there at all
Like a 1/2"x28 crush washer will work? They'll fit over the 3/4x10 threads?For a flash hider? 9mm AR crush washers work.
Really your hammer should be greased where it contacts the bolt not oiled. Oil can run off or evaporate. Firing with a dry hammer will put undue stress on it. If you fire quickly it could over stress. The normal rule is if it slides grease it, if it rotates oil it. In the case of a hammer like this one grease is a must.
The 9mm AR crush washer is only for barrels with threads at the end of the barrel. What are you looking to do?Like a 1/2"x28 crush washer will work? They'll fit over the 3/4x10 threads?
I need the attchments that are sized for 3/4x10 to stay on the barrel and not loosen so easily.The 9mm AR crush washer is only for barrels with threads at the end of the barrel. What are you looking to do?
look into nord lock washers.....but they will damage the finish. I use them to keep the nuts from loosening on my turbo.....never put them on a gun thoughI need the attchments that are sized for 3/4x10 to stay on the barrel and not loosen so easily.
