I need the hammer spur of my SP101 bobbed - but not removed completely.

Results wanted include:
- Revolver's default trigger mode becomes double action.
- Spur's nub allows revolver to still be retained by thumb break strap and/or conventional safety strap.

Having Ruger replace my spurred hammer with an SP101 spurless hammer is not a solution accounting for both results.

Please identify gunsmiths who do this.

Pull the hammer our of the frame.
Grind/Blend/Polish to your hearts content.

After all it is a POS....cast Ruger!

Id grind it all the way off and polish that part..It will work fine with a strap without leaving a bump that looks icky to the practiced eye..Any smith worth his salt can do that in 30 minutes.

Cast Ruger indeed; some of the strongest gun parts made by any method. Not sure why the slam.
Anyway, it is child's play to do what you want; if you do not want to fire up your angle grinder, PM me.

Ruger makes some of the strongest handguns out there.

One time backI saw my 'smith working on a Ruger Redhawk(?) in .454. Seems the owner had fired five additional rounds AFTER the first one failed to exit the barrel. Gun was still in one piece without any visible bulges. Projectiles appeared to be jacketed hp's.

Indeed. Ruger pioneered lost investiture casting. Well known and contracted by many companies. You must be thinking of cast iron. No comparison.

It's " investment casting " .A very old process but with modern improvements and modern alloys it is a fantastic process.
History ? Hundreds of years ago in Europe the expert was an Italian named Cellini. Then called "lost wax process " When he saw the work of the new world metallurgists , places like Peru, he said " compared to them I know nothing " !

The same when the Europeans first came to Benin City in Nigeria where my wife comes from. And its named for Benin bronzes.

They arrogantly believed that the "bronzes" were the lost works of Ancient Greek traders as "Africans" surely couldn't have such skills!
