Back in January, I began a thread saying I was considering trimming the hammer on my Airweight to allow for a cleaner draw from a pocket holster. I asked for opinions and experience. The question generated a lot of discussion, and responses ranged from, "don't worry, it'll be fine", to "the sky will fall."
I finally went ahead and trimmed the hammer, and the draw is much smoother. Today I took the gun shooting. I used jacketed and unjacketed target ammo as well as defensive ammo in +P. I also used store bought and hand loads.
The gun was just as reliable and accurate as ever; no failures of any kind. I said I'd post a follow-up if I made the change, and this is it. Thanks for all the replies.
