It is sorta like the firing pin block on postwar Smith revolvers. I suppose it is possible for that part to somehow malfunction as compared to one without such a device but I don't see people taking their revolvers apart to toss it out.
I wonder, what part is it that you would take out of the Post-War S&W Revolver?

(The ones with the firing pin mounted on the hammer, the so called "rebounding hammer" revolvers where, as the ads stated, you could "hammer on the hammer") It these are not the guns you refer to, then ignore this whole post.

(Hint: This is a trick question. I will tell you the secret later.)
