The shortened design really requires a bobbed hammer for both looks and practicality as a concealed/carry pistol.

If you mean like the pic John posted, that would relegate it to double-action only [first shot]...

Not really Rich, I had the top of the hammer grooved and the back slightly rounded so my gun was capable of being manually shot as a single action auto. A slight take-up of the trigger made this function even easier, but in reality, for a short carry gun like this, Double-action only is perfectly fine, since most encounters would likely be at distances similar to being inside a room. Iron sights are not an issue at those distances.
