SBH hammer on Single Six

I'm thinking of getting a Super Blackhawk hammer for the Single Six. It would be soo much more comfortable on the old thumb. Anyone done this? Do you have a pic you can share?

I only have the Single Six. What is the difference in the hammers?

The SBH hammer has a wider area to cock with your thumb and it is shaped so that it is lower to the frame. Easier to reach.

THe Problem you will face is that the hammers are different sizes you might consider converting your SS to a Bisley
but you would need more than just the hammer. hammer/ grip frame/ trigger at the least. is your single six the new model or the old three screw? Check it out.

I previously had a Bisley hammer installed on a 'straight' Single Six using a Bisley trigger. Can I substitute a Bisley hammer for a conventional spurred Single Six hammer and continue to use the original Single Six trigger? (Note the term 'had installed,' as in handing the weapon and parts to...

I wondered about that, and whether it is just that the SBH frame is larger, so the hammer looks lower.....

That was an informative thread. Thanks. Looks like all the Single Six Bisleys and parts have been discontinued.
I guess I could research Power Customs.

from what I've noticed recently Ruger makes different hammer spurs for the BHK/Vaquero configuration i think they make a SASS Montado hammer the spur is lower and a bit wider. here is a Youtube vid.

The lockwork in a Super Blackhawk is identical to the Blackhawk's making the parts interchangable. The Single Six lockwork is smaller and will not work. The only real option is to have a good gunsmith cut the spur off the Single Six hammer and weld a spur off the Super Blackhawk back on, then refinish.

I also wish it could be done. I put a SBH hammer in my Blackhawk and I just love it.
