A quibble. This only is standard practice for the old revolvers (such as the original single action revolvers.) It is not considered necessary for modern revolvers with a safety block for the hammer. E.g., my S&W 686 has a steel block which comes up between the hammer and the frame - so that a blow to the hammer can't fire a loaded chamber which is under the hammer. The block is retracted by the trigger action as the hammer goes back. --henry schaffer _______________________________________________ To post, send message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To subscribe, unsubscribe, change options, or get password, see http://lists.ucla.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/firearmsregprof
