Hello. I was fortunate enough to get a Behlert Hammer/sear set. I have been bitten by every hammer out there except the Behlert hammer. The ball on the hammer is much smaller than the C&S, thus making the throw shorter, thus making for a no biter. I have very meaty hands, and this hammer has solved the problem. Now, if Mr Behlert will just get some more of these on the market.
