Considerations & Trade-offs
- Requires the Brownells Hammer/Sear Block to be useful, so it is not a standalone fitting tool.
- Sized for specific handguns and rifles, so the 10/22A(R) hammer pin is only appropriate where that pin designation matches the firearm.
- Designed for visual inspection and setup of hammer and sear engagement; it does not replace final fitting or verification in the firearm.
- Best suited to gunsmithing and parts fitting work, so it is more specialized than a general-purpose bench accessory.
