The Makarov hammer, which protrudes from the rear of the slide adjacent the sear, is an unissued surplus hammer.

In any hammer-fired pistol, the hammer is a vital component to the operation of the pistol as it plays a crucial role in the firing sequence. The Makarov hammer is responsible for striking the firing pin, which in turn strikes the cartridge primer.

The Makarov hammer, like all of our spare and replacement parts for the Makarov, are unused parts that were obtained from a spare parts inventory in Germany.
