Erno86, could you take a picture of your two ROA revolvers next to each other showing that repair Ruger made after the "thumb piece" on the hammers flew off? I have one of those revolvers as well and I'd like to see how they repaired that in case it ever happens to my own.
What are you looking for on that hammer to tell you the steel of the hammer looks soft and crappy looking?
You know they are making those old army pistols again. Have you looked at them to see if the hammers still look soft and crappy?
