Double action is easier.
With this hammer DA is easier. The half cock is sooner. So it feels different and easier to shoot. I use it with the PD extended firing pin and PD firing spring. And PD 15.5lb hammer spring.

Hammer Tow-up!
I put this hammer on a custom Tanfoglio build. It required a little bit of fitting but looks great.

Sledge lite
Best looking hammer IMO bit more mass and hits a little harder then the Delta it replaced, truthfully should have went with heavy but I just liked the look better on the lite.
