Eventually, with repeated use, it WILL require attention to the hand.
Colt has no more & has shown no interest in ordering any more.
V-Spring guns sent in for timing issues involving a worn hammer are serviced by stretching (peening) the existing hand.
This can be done once. Beyond that, if you shoot the guns enough to wear them to a timing degradation again, the only solution is a hand replacement.
New hands are scarce, you have to watch for somebody liquidating old "new" unfitted hands.
It seems to me that owners of Colt V-spring revolvers might be wise to proactively start looking for a spare unfitted hand so that if/when it needs replaced, they've already got the scarce part.
