And don’t carry with a loaded chamber under the hammer with an old revolver lacking a trigger bar or some other mechanism to keep that hammer from hitting the firing pin.
AGREED 100%. - ALSO, do NOT shoot HOT modern ammo in either Colt’s or S&W’s pre-1930 revolvers, as MOST of them are NOT heat-treated.
For example, I have a WWI-era Colt’s Police Positive that once belonged to a “TSWCA Detective”/Special TX Ranger.
(I often shoot it but ONLY with 148 grain HB wadcutters. = REALLY, REALLY accurate little revolver is that one, out to well beyond 25M.)
