The hammer on one empty chamber is the safest way to carry a six shooter.
Only for an old single action Colt. All revolvers now have a bar that keeps the hammer from falling on the shell except when actually pulling the trigger. You’d better study up on today’s revolvers.
I always load mine up. The little Ruger SP and the S & W 640 have pretty stout triggers on ‘em.
That’s why I like carrying a revolver. Goes bang when I want and doesn’t if I don’t.
Fregards.
