Even 150 years ago a cowboy knew that.. Yes it was a six shooter but you always kept the chamber that was under the hammer empty. That way if the gun fell out of the holster or got bumped by a little dogie the hammer would only hit the empty cylinder.. The ultimate safety..
Roy Rodgers and Dale Evans taught me that!!!
Happy trails
