Hammer Fall--A Problem?
« on: January 30, 2003, 08:06:15 PM »
New to this site and apologize if this is already a well-worn topic:  what negative effect on accuracy might I expect from the hammer fall on my Thompson? If it's a common "problem" I'd like to know up front. Thanks.

Hammer Fall--A Problem?

:P Why would there be a negative effect? Every gun made that has primers or caps has a hammer. You just can't see it because it is inside the reciever. Over/under shotguns like the Citori have 2. Some have an inline hammer and some have one that looks just like the Encore hammer without the thumb extension.

I'm interpreting the question as to comparitive 'lock times'.  I have noticed that I have to hold on the target (much like shooting a bow) longer to get good groups with my Encore.  This indicates to me that the lock time is slower than that of say a Rem. 700.  It took me several rounds to realize this.  It would be interesting to me if there were some way the 'average joe' could measure this.  As many other Encore owners have done, I replaced the sear spring to obtain a 2.25# trigger pull.  This lighter spring would have to have a bearing on this also, to what extent... there again who knows?
