not_IO4 rules of firearm safety
Katana314Wanna hear something dumb? Not even a sarcastic joke: If you have a loaded revolver with a cocked hammer, and you want to unload it, you must pull the trigger.
Reductive to say it that way, but basically the cylinder locks while the hammer is back, and most hammers won’t move once in position. Ultimately, the trigger’s job is specifically to release the hammer - just normally resulting in a violent impact with the bullet. If the hammer is being tightly held, or even blocked with one’s full hand, the weapon won’t go off.
I don’t own a gun, but I remember it because it’s the stupidest gun fact I’ve learned.
it’s probably really cheap and reliable to build it that way? that’s what i always assume when i hear “dumb” design for some products
It’s required for how revolver weapons operate. You cannot have the cylinder floating at all as even a few mm of difference can result in catastrophic failure. People saying revolvers are more “reliable” are full of fucking shit. The damn things are like clocks with their own set of springs and similar to operate.
It was true that early semi-autos were unreliable in keeping from going off suddenly with a round chamber and hammer back. That was early ones though, not today’s. While it’s not 100%, it’s still much safer than a revolver with the hammer back.
TootTootComingThruDidn’t sig make a Turning Point USA edition of one of their guns not too long ago?
S&W does this?
Captain AggravatedYou’re not going to find an Obama Hope edition firearm out there.
Also I was making a joke about the p320going off without a trigger pull
