[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 2950267, member: 17621"] Check it for push-off. If the SA hammer notch is worn, the hammer usually can't be replaced. They are surface hardened and if someone has cut through the surface hardening to do a "trigger job", the soft metal underneath is exposed and the hammer is trashed. In addition, this is a very difficult notch to cut and make safe or you will have that "AD" you mentioned. And, if you are successful, the hammer notch will eventually wear and you are right back where you started. If the trigger has been improperly cut and it's not too bad, it can sometimes be re-cut. The best practice is to replace both the hammer and trigger together as a set. You may get lucky and they drop right in and you're ready to go, but sometimes they require minor fitting. [/QUOTE]
