Cocked hammer with the cylinder open?
So I attended a class this pass weekend. The instructor was a 30 year veteran of the PPD. I bought along a S&W 19 on top of my Glock 19 hoping to learn some revolver skills on top as well. When handling my 19 at the start of class the instructor opened the cylinder and cocked the hammer back with the cylinder open which I thought was not possible with out hand tools. Any idea how?
