I have a Taurus UltraLight 38 Special,
Single or Double action.
Are we supposed to keep the first chamber in the cylinder empty ?
Double action - No, however it's a personal choice - the Colt 38 next to my bed is fully loaded. The Ruger 38 next to my chair is fully loaded. My rifle is fully loaded - with maximum magazine full.
There is a reason for “holes” in a cylinder - those holes are for cartridges - empty holes do you no good.
