    Something even dumber is, when you were jogging I assume you were concerned about the hammer bouncing and striking the primer. I doubt very much that the hammer would bounce enough to cause the cylinder to cycle to the next chamber, so the bouncing would actually cause the hammer to rise and fall on the chamber currently under it.

    Supposedly the S & W revolver had a hammer block that prevented the pin from striking the primer unless the trigger was pulled or hammer cocked. So I was more worried that would happen and impact the next chamber as the cylinder rotated.

    But the cylinder would not accidentally rotate. It could only rotate while being cocked...which requires a deliberate in control act.

    There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

    No, I criticized him for slowing down ALL drivers.

    They were great for doing that during the 14-year hell of the double nickel. But it was to save the earth, so....

    Correction:

    As long as our emphasis is on logics, who here carries a revolver with the chamber, due for alignment at the next rotation, empty; and, the chamber under the hammer empty? That would make a 3-shot out of the ever-popular model 36 or 60. How's that for safety?

    You may want to ask some oldtimers about finding their service revolver cocked while in a city issued Jay-Pee Holster, without any deliberate act of their own.

    Sometimes it*s hard to tell who the shitty drivers are from all the drivers on the road at any given time, before they end up in a wreck.

    Sounds like an ill-fitting holster issue, not a revolver issue.

    I recently picked up a Taurus G3c with a frame-mounted safety lever, and part of the deal was a kydex IWB holster. Turns out the holster didn't accommodate the safety when in the safe position, and movement of the gun could cause the safety to be switched off. I quickly remedied that issue with a propane torch and a little re-working of the safety groove of the holster.
