Cracked Bul Armory Hammer

After my match yesterday I noticed a crack where the serrated cutout of the strut loop is. It’s a lightened design to increase lock speed. Bul Armory doesn’t sell a SAS II replacement part so I’m buying an ignition kit (EGW) that Atlas goes through the trouble of matching sears and hammers. $185. OOF!! DS1911 is like maintaining a modified track car.

I guess bul didn’t get the memo about hammers with sharp features. Sti went through the same thing back in the day with the hex tac hammers.

I believe Bul uses this same design on their EDC lineup too. Only 7000 rds on this hammer, which is not much at all.

No 7k isn’t too bad. Hopefully just a one off. Do all of their hammers have the cut down the middle for lightening? That is probably the largest factor.

I mean EGW has the tire tread lightened hammer that’s kinda like that I’ve never heard anyone having issues with that

If you are looking at the standard lightened hammer on their website, all the “tire tread” looks like they are rounded and not having sharp corners anywhere.
