That is why I included the word "normally". There are always exceptions, and it's possible for any mechanical safety to fail. The best of all safeties is located between the ears.

Did your hammer failure occur on the way into the holster, or on the way out?

Willie

it went off while the owner was reloading it, he had in in the to me normal position of laying in his left hand while putting shells in the cylinder when the hammer fell and I just happened to be on the other side of the table looking thru a spotting scope when the bullet hit the leg on the scope and exploded with the largest piece of it ending up in my right thigh about f inches from the groin area.

And yes I know it was not a normal accident, but one of those fluke things that happen with things made by man. But at the same time there is plenty of spring presser with the hammer in the half cocked position to fire a round.
