kingdragonfly:Tinkerisk: OT: The hammer of a revolver must not be cocked. Then it is at least secured against unintentional operation and dropping. My pistol has three safeties, none of which I have to activate separately or can forget to activate when I need to use it. I could even throw it to you cocked and loaded without it going off.
But you're European :) Double action revolvers are common in the US, and almost everyone carries either completely empty or fully loaded in the US.
It would be very unusual to leave a single chamber empty.
The holster is supposed to keep it safe, by protecting (hiding) the trigger.

Interesting. I remember being quite keen on guns myself when I was about six.
