99% of revolvers don’t have safeties, because they are really not needed. For a DA revolver, they take an extremely long and strong pull, unlike the Glock. If SA, they need to be cocked first. The chances of a revolver accidentally or negligently discharging are much, much less than a Glock. Even so, most people I know who carry revolvers do so with an empty chambers. As someone said earlier, there is no reason to carry any weapon in condition one in cockpit with a locked door.
Never shot a Glock have ya?
It is called a transfer bar. All modern revolvers have a trigger safety.
Simply put: easier to clean, holds up better under extreme cold, generally more accurate, more suited in larger calibers that might be necessary (Bear/Moose), the revolver for both self-defense and survival reasons is most often the better choice than the newer semi's. The much more mechanically complicated Glock, Beretta, Springfield, Sig etc., are also often more complicated to operate usually with many people having a hard time with the slide release etc. A stainless S&W with rubber grips for survival, or a hammerless compact lightweight 38 revolver for self defense is hard to beat. -IMHO
Not owning a revolver (other than cap pistols back in the Truman Administration), I have the following question:
When carrying one with an empty chamber, does the empty chamber have to be next to the one in the firing position, so that when the trigger is (accidentally) actuated, the gun advances to the empty chamber before the hammer drops?
The gun won’t do you any good if it isn’t loaded oh hang on don’t rob me yet my guns not loaded
