when I added the thimb extension, it added too much weight to the hammer and about half the time, it wouldn't hit the firing pin hard enough to fire the cartridge.


I have hammer extensions on my Contenders with scopes. I did not realize that the extra mass would slow the lock time that much!
Could have been the problem with my Rem. 35!

Good to know! Thanks Mike.

Would like to get the T/C info over to the T/C thread.
