Ricks Place, I've had good luck on my BW and Sidewinder using a red rubber wire cable end on the hammer. It gives it enough purchase to make it easier and surer to cock and control. I'm looking forward to acquiring a Ranger and hope that this addition will prevent the problem you mentioned with the hammer/cylinder release conflict.
Found the cable ends at a big box store in the electrical department as I recall.
Hope that helps.
