ALL you have to worry about with a traditional sixgun is carrying the sixgun with the hammer down on an empty chamber. Do it enough and it's completely second nature. If ALL you had to worry about driving a car was ONE THING, the road would be a much safer place. Nope, there are people who just can't drive who have a license to anyway, people on cell phones talking and tex
CraigC,
What about the points I brought up regarding hunting safety and the better design of the transfer bar?? You seemed to gloss over that.
Anyone and I mean ANYONE who has hunted with both a New Model and Old Model Ruger Blackhawk will tell you that the new model is a far safer design. In this application the transfer bar way exceeds the older design. It has NOTHING to do with the operator.
If you pistol hunt long enough there WILL be times when you will need to let that hammer down because your shot just wasn't there. Now because of an old outdated design you have put yourself in more danger of an accidental discharge than you would had you been using an New Model with the transfer bar. Sorry but the revolver itself is more dangerous without the transfer bar...period.
