Seems like I vaguely remember seeing one like that back in a '70s gun rag. I would guess that yes, rust could develop under that cap, just like rubber grips promote rust underneath.

somebody got a "sore" thumb, could have coated it with that "dip" rubber coating or slipped on a sleeve,,,,yes it can and will rust, the old model hammers were 4140 chrome moly, NOT stainless, and yes , even stainless of today can and will "rust,stain tarnish..." it is GUN stainless alloy , NOT "surgical steel " alloy... 8) :roll: :wink:
Sometimes add on's are useless this may be one of those cases. ps
Any man who would use a rubber hammer cap on a single action gun would also buy a boot protector for a motorcycle shifter

I chuckled..because I saw a guy riding last week and he actually had a ManBun and a BootProtector..he was riding a Honda 350 Cafe bike...it was amusing..LOL
About 50 years ago I was shooting a brick thru a Single-six every Saturday, It was wearing on my thumb pretty bad so I filed the top of the hammer somewhat smoother and still needed to wear a bandaid awhile.
Maybe that's why that plastic.

I have a S&W model 59 with this type of hammer cap on it. I was told he worked in plain clothes and this protected the inside of his suit jacket from t he hammer.

Better than a rubber cap, put a Super hammer on the gun. That's what I did.
I saw it differently. I've bought a great many finely machined measuring tools and machine parts, and often a pointy or otherwise abrasive machining would be dipped thusly to prevent chafing thru the packaging.
