One thing you will have to do is cut the center pin notch deeper and square it up; as it is now, it will jump forward on recoil.
As to the hand, it may use the same type of spring as the SA Colt, just on a smaller scale, but a lot of those guns use a hand with a pin that has a flat side. The hand pin fits in a hole in the hammer, with the spring in a slot in the hammer. The spring bears on that flat of the hand pin to action the hand. Of course you first have to see which side the hand is on, then make the hammer to accommodate the hand. Then make the trigger and then the hammer, cutting the notches first and get that part right. (You can play with the spur and stuff later. Don't try to make the firing pin part of the hammer, slot the hammer when it is done.
The cylinder stop is tricky; you will probably want to cam it off the hammer, even though it might have been off the trigger originally. That is what I meant by designing/re-designing as you go. One trick is to cut pieces out of cardboard to get the parts to work together. Then you can make parts out of wood or aluminum (easy to work) before going to steel.
It's not easy. Is it worth the work? Helllllll no, IMHO.
