I've had this OM plow handle Bisley hammer in my parts box for a couple of months since Ronnie sent it to me just waiting for the right gun to come along. When I saw this one on the Ruger Forum I thought it was a perfect pair, and for anyone who saw the ad it was a good deal to the right buyer (folks like us lol).
The original trigger sear had been modified and the pull had a little hitch, but after restoring the proper angle on the original trigger all was good. Ronnie sent along a wide trigger but I didn't open the grip frame window, having not decided if it was keeping this grip frame or if I'd swap it for another Wells aluminum piece. It would be a shame to orphan the stags, but if I can find something in the safe that fits them I'll probably do a swap. I suppose I'll keep my eyes open for a magnum cylinder as well.
Short of needing to remediate the old trigger, the hammer swap was a 5 minute job. I put a factory OM SBH hammer in an OM Clements 44 Special at the same time and moving the hammer plunger over took longer than installing the RW unit.
