You guys saying to just “spin the cylinder” and look at the nose of the rounds therein, are a lot braver than I am. NO WAY in hell am I aiming a loaded gun at my face, even one with just with blanks. That is a great way to burn your face or go blind if the gun accidentally goes off.

It was a single action revolver. You can see the bullets in the cylinder even with the gun not pointed directly at you. And even if it is pointed at you, if the hammer is not cocked, it cannot fire. Unless you drop it on a concrete floor....
