I had to turn the channel, what an absolute POS.I’m just relieved to know Alec does not feel responsible at all and that this is all obviously “someone else’s” fault…his hardcore liberal wokeness continues to come in handy. He’s just another victim and someone else is to blame of course. Now we need to find out who that is and cancel them, FAST!!!
You maybe correct on most, but I just went and tried your theory on my H & R 999 Sportsman and not so. It was not loaded but it was pointed at the floor. The hammer fell.My experience with hammer fired weapons is that if your thumb slips off the hammer in between the initial "safe" position and fully chocked, the hammer only falls to the initial safe position. Is that not the case on these old replica revolvers?
Point being, he had to have the trigger depressed to have it go all the way down to engage the prime.

After reading this I tried with both my Ruger single six and my H&R 949. The Ruger fell every time unless it was fully cocked. The H&R stopped short every time. The H& R is a double action while the Ruger is a single action.You maybe correct on most, but I just went and tried your theory on my H & R 999 Sportsman and not so.

Not true as far as I know. Just about every revolver I've handled would fire if you release the hammer before locking it back unless you barely pull it back which doesn't have enough action to contact the firing pin. A nearly fully cocked hammer should contact the firing pin every time. The trigger basically releases the hammer, doesn't have anything to do with the firing pin. Again someone can correct me if I'm wrong.My experience with hammer fired weapons is that if your thumb slips off the hammer in between the initial "safe" position and fully chocked, the hammer only falls to the initial safe position.

Interesting, I wonder if it's the double action then that has a safe feature. If you have the trigger pulled and drop the hammer will it reach the firing pin?My H&R double action does not strike the firing pin if the hammer is released prior to fully cocking it, the hammer stops about a little short. while pulling the hammer back it has 2 stops the 1st one allows the cylinder to be spun and the 2nd is fully cocked.
