I should think having a dirty great lump strapped to your leg would catch on more shi...stuff than just a hammer spur.

Just more junk!
Why remove the hammer spur from a revolver that hopelessly inaccurate as a DA-only weapon? The S-F boys developed their combat techniques for use with either superb American Smith and Wesson or Colt revolvers, or self-loading pistols.

In our eyes, a pistol (or a revolver) is the last means of mechanical defiance.
Incidentally, we were always at variance regarding this singlke action/double action description. In fact, our technical handbooks agree with this train of thought.
We (the UK Military) say a spurless hammer that you cannot hand cock type revolver is SINGLE action simply because you can only shoot it one way and the action only works in one way. ONE = single action.
On the other hand a hammer that you CAN cock, target fashion AND shoot from the already fired position MUST be a double action because you can shoot/operate the action TWO ways. You can shoot it from cocked, at a target OR you can shoot it from the fired position at a, say, fleeting body. Therefore TWO = double action
That's the reason why you'll find UK MIlitary stuff seems to differ from those other, backward nations........ (just my joke.....)
