Thanks. Many folks have never heard your explanation before and it’s exactly why Baldwin will be held responsible.
I inherited my great grandfather’s single action Colt 45 50 years ago. From the day my father handed me the revolver, he drilled the mechanics of the single action revolver ad nauseam and always said to carry the weapon with an empty chamber under the hammer. That old Colt shoot great and guess what…it’s never gone off and killed anyone…yet.
This is also why you don’t carry an old revolver with a live round in the chamber if half cocked wasn’t bad enough a good rear impact or drop could also set it off.

There old guns have a live firing pin under a loose hammer it’s a recipe for disaster. I also only carry any period piece with one less than its capacity while on my waist
