This is well put and completely correct. I speak as an instructor with 35 years of experience and advanced training both military and civilian. To draw from your pocket without snagging the hammer on your pants requires two things: #1 a good pocket holster to keep the gun properly oriented for the draw. #2 when you begin to draw the gun from the holster, put the tip of your thumb against the back of the hammer so it forms a sort of shroud that deflects any sort of a snag. Be prepared to fire the piece double action by securing a full combat grip at the start. Finger off the trigger until muzzle is on the target.

He should have tapped it on hammer spur with a little brass mallet with live rounds ro demo the blocking action. It would be ideal to demo the same with 19th century revolvers in a few configurations. I knew a man named Mitch who was killed by an unintended discharge from a cap&ball revolver.

Because a hammer sitting on a live round and the revolver drops out of a holster then the firearm goes off because of the hammer getting hit... It's different than a 1911 when it's cocked and locked... The hammer will break off before it causes the firing pin to discharge a round... Load up a revolver completely, rest the hammer on a live round... And smack the spur of the hammer with a rubber mallet... If the round discharges then that's how you answer the question

[@Ben_not_10]

I can’t speak to some of the foreign made revolvers. But this has been a point of contention for ye old faithful the Colt Single Action Army. The first notch in a SAA hammer is the safety notch and Colt had in their manuals and on the instructions on the lid of the box that you could load all six chambers and you would lower the hammer to the safety notch. It wasn’t until the mid 1960s early 1970s that the “cow boy load” became a common recomendation after there were lawsuits filed against Ruger who’s Blackhawk revolvers had a similar lockwork to the Colt. Most (though not all) doubles actions at the turn of the 19th/20th century had automatic rebounding hammers without a trigger block. Although it was incredibly rare there were a few instances where dropped guns did fire when the hammer was hit directly. What’s not often told in those stories is the rebound notch and sear of the commonly used Galland/Fagnus lockwork was often deformed or broken by that action. Which took (even for the time ) an incredible amount of force. A test was done on a mock-up of colts SAA lockwork to see how much force it would take to deform or break the rebound notch in the hammer and it was found it took a little over 250 lbs of energy to deform the notch, and that was with unheat treated (or soft) steel, not the hardened steel used in most gun lock works. Hammer blocks were a safety feature that all but eliminated an already rare event on a properly made and maintained firearm. Emphasis on properly made and properly maintained. If your buying a gun used or one from a manufacturer with a spotty reputation, have a gunsmith who is familiar with revolvers inspect it before you carry it. And if you do carry a revolver be VERY careful about modifying or filing on ANY sear engagement surfaces as that is also part of your safety margin for accidentally dropping a revolver.

It's called a" transfer bar". I believe Ruger had it first and didn't patent it, allowing other manufacturers to copy it

[@Baasicstuff]

Hammer block and transfer bar are two different mechanisms used in revolvers to enhance their safety features. A hammer block is a safety mechanism that prevents the hammer from striking the firing pin unless the trigger is pulled. It is usually a small metal piece that is positioned between the hammer and the firing pin. When the trigger is not pulled, the hammer block is engaged, and it physically blocks the hammer from striking the firing pin. This prevents accidental discharge even if the hammer is struck or dropped. A transfer bar, on the other hand, is a safety feature that transfers the impact of the hammer to the firing pin only when the trigger is pulled. It is a small metal bar that connects the trigger to the hammer and the firing pin. When the trigger is pulled, the transfer bar is lifted, allowing the hammer to hit the transfer bar, which then strikes the firing pin. This ensures that the gun can only be fired when the trigger is pulled, preventing accidental discharge. Both the hammer block and transfer bar mechanisms are commonly used in modern revolvers to increase their safety and reliability.
