Just leave the chamber under the hammer empty and the rest is taken care of. 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.

I know, but even the folks who make these revolvers tell you put the hammer down on an empty chamber; esp. Ruger.
But, “If you need six, load six.”

Did that ever apply to any DA wheel guns? I can’t think of any, just old hawglegs.
