Another game of "What Am I Building"? FINISHED, W/VIDEO

[buffalowinter]

Version 4.0 with an exact copy of the hammer didn't work. But it did allow me to better see what changes in the hammer geometry were needed. Verion 5.0 was a success and is reliable. I changed the angle the hammer hits the firing pin, and changed the plunger and plunger spring. You can see a live fire video below. I held the gun in my hand, which shouldn't be too different than when attached to a glove. It didn't require much force to fire. The first test didn't have a spring loaded firing pin so the gun would hang up on the firing pin when unloading. I installed a spring return to the firing pin for the second test and it worked fine. I punched three holes in a piece of 1/4" pine.
All that remains is final finishing/shaping, Cerakote, and installation on the glove.

Sand blasted and ready for graphite Black Cerakote.

Here is the finished product. It came out pretty nice, after five attempts/rebuilds/re-designs. 100% reliable now (As long as you hit your target square and don't punch like a sissy). Slightly bigger than the original and no extractor (a stick works fine). Grossly overbuilt to be safe.

Ooh! Load that with a 38 spl Frontier Cartridge load! Talk about powder burns then.

I won two SASS World Champion titles for Frontier Cartridge Duelist. One time I was shooting over a hay bale and caught the hale bale on fire.

Yeah, I lit the derringer side match targets on fire with my Cobra (Remington Pattern) shooting Snakebites BLB over 19g of 3f. Silver Buck was not a happy camper.

Shot with Badlands Bud locally several times and Lead Dispenser too at Chorro Valley.

@buffalowinter had you thought about using a Glock striker and striker spring? It would have damn near perfect geometries from the get go to create a striker fired version of the Sedgely, allowing for manual cocking, which could also address some of the hammer strike force issues!
