Kevin, I did lower the front of the hammer notch on the 62 Police and squared it off but is still shoots high. It will need a taller front sight. I calculate I need to raise the front sight or lower the rear sight by about .189 inch and the rear can't be lowered that much. The group is only so-so and I should probably experiment with the loads but you can still see it is needs a higher front sight. I bought a fixture to cut sight dovetails.
Lonesome, Both the 62 Police and the Uberti Wells fargo I have both have the same hammer profile (it looks like they were case from the same mold as the have the same or similar irregularities in the hammer face). And they suck caps something awful. I put Tresos in both guns which helped a little. In both the slot in the hammer face for the safety pins is wide and shallow and the hammer face slopes back instead of being square to the nipple, so that only the top portion of the hammer hits the nipple, if that is clear. The slot also is shaped so that it is well suited to grabbing caps.
All three of my navys have the hammer face square to the nipple and the safety slots are narrower so that I have far less problem with cap sucking so I think the shape of the hammer face has something to do with it the cap sucking problem. (I put slix shots in the Uberti but the Piettas have stock nipples). You can see the difference in the hammer face profiles between the Uberti Navy and the Uberti 62 police in one of the photos if you look closely.
I've thought about building up the hammer face with JB or something and shaping it so it is more like the Navy hammers to see if it helps, though it would probably not hold up with use. Since both pocket hammers have the same profile I doubt I could buy a replacement hammer that has a different profile. I've been using Remington 10's and should probably try CCI 11's as well. I know people have had success with the cap rake but I'd rather not modify the pistol that much.
Regards
Gary
