If you don't want to retire it, you might install a Commander style hammer and beavertail as drop in parts. You could shoot it this way, but keep the original parts to replace to keep the gun original.

Or see your local gunsmith. BTW, on mine, I just cut the hammer spur off completely. Never had a problem. Easy job for you or the smith, and you could use a cheap surplus hammer. I would charge between $20 and 30 depending on how much cutting and how complicated a trigger job.

Oh Geesh...I remember what we called that Colt drop in back then.

Not a Beaver Tail.

It was a Ducks Ass Safety.
