ZERO round under the firing pin totally and utterly safe, no questions. Pull the trigger? cylinder rotates and fires. The next step is the Walther P99, no potential energy in striker when decocked instant DA fire then goes back to SA. All other pistols are weak slaves, the ammo drives the gun, not the gun driving the ammo. Everything else is trash

I think threads like this are AI generated slop. This or jeets or very low iqs have taken over.

Engaging is pointless, because it’s so stupid.

I carry six and use a proper holster. Only retards like Patton or Earp drop their guns.

A revolver in .30-30 Winchester? I wonder if somebody actually made such a thing.

Not with a swing out cylinder, but yeah it exists.

Cap and ball or cartridge? It makes a massive difference. I've never heard anyone advocate for an empty chamber on a cartridge gun, it's just a cap thing.

>>64673694 You have that Completely Backwards. All 1851 Colts, 1858 Remingtons and 1860 Colts - the Big Three of the Civil War - may be carried with the hammer down BETWEEN any two capped nipples. On Colts the hammer face has a vertical groove cut in it so that it may be let down onto a pin the size of a sewing needle. This locks the cylinder from rotating. Thumbing the hammer back frees the cylinder and then rotates it to the next cap-location. To safe it again hammer has to be let down to half cock and cylinder manually lined up with next of the 6 pins.
The Remington was exactly the same without the groove in the hammer face and instead of using pins there were machined notches the hammer could rest in. That was 1000X stronger and more foolproof butt the Colt system was fine and gun was smaller and better balanced as a result.

It's a dumb stopgap solution that was ultimately made obsolescent by automatic rebounding in revolver lockworks. And even before that, a simple spring on the side plate and various other types of hammer blocks solved the issue.
