Said friend knows nothing about guns and had no idea that this one was messed up and doesn't shoot. Our range trip was his first time out with it.

All in the name of making it come out of a pocket quickly. No front sight, so what, it was meant as a last ditch belly gun (not necessarily one kept on or near you belly if you get my drift).Glenn Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16677859688487279914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-60722593481851775452018-08-20T10:52:50.071-05:002018-08-20T10:52:50.071-05:00Bobbing the hammer spur is a useful modification f...Bobbing the hammer spur is a useful modification for pocket carry, and easily remedied by simply replacing the hammer. I would be concerned that in grinding off the sights, too much material might be removed from the top strap, weakening it. I wouldn't have messed with the front sight, and would probably have rounded off the rear sight rather than removing it entirely, but that's just me. If it has a coil mainspring, replacing it with a Wolf spring will restore reliability. If a leaf spring, it may just need the screw holding it to the frame tightened. Point is it's HIS gun, not Yours, and he had it modified to fit his needs.

Dovetail front sight and a Novak rear sight (say made for a 1911) will give it a set of sights. File front sight down if needed to get a good POA.<br /><br />And that is it.
