Also, you don’t have worry about the safety on a revolver. Just leave the chamber under the hammer empty and the rest is taken care of.
Carrying an auto loaded and cocked (the only correct way to carry a SA Auto) makes some folks nervous.
If I don't have time to pull the trigger...either way I'm too late.
Cocked?
I ain't doing that.
In most modern designs this isn't an issue. There's either a transfer bar which doesn't move into position until the trigger is pulled or the hammer is on a cam which doesn't allow it to travel far enough to contact the primer.
Older designs do lack this important safety feature, however.
