Yup! you can see it when it is pointed at you. But when
you're the one holding the revolver and squeezing the trigger, you
can feel the hammer being pulled back, and lock in the cocked
position, ready for release. The mid point can be felt. This it
self is a safety feature, because the shooter has that much micro
second to change his mind about shooting. This has been smoothen to
the long pull.
You have to have fired the older revolvers and the present ones
to know the difference.
The older revolvers would have the hammer rest on an empty
chamber, the present ones have a groove betwen chambers. But still
don't throw a loaded gun on to the floor like they do in the
movies.
As for the aux officer sitting behind the taxi driver, if he
just sits still, its safe, if he fidgets and touches the revolver
and pushes the revolver to deeper into his trousers, he is
taking that 0.0001percent chance of the revolver going off into the
back of the taxi driver.
u havent fired or seen or learnt much bout guns have u from
looks of it.its lucky singapore has tough gun laws or many people
would have been killed by yer sparse knowledge of guns.many well
trained folks can even identify the type of working operations of
hundreds of different type revolver models without even
touching it...but u need to touch it n pull it in order to identify
it.which is weak knowledge....some of yer facts are downright
misinformation n inaxccurate from world wide gun owners!do u own
any guns at all even???
try rephrasing everything u sound liken an amateur.i dont care
if theres a groove in the nuts even....u need to handle yer weapons
safely and know more about them in order to even discuss about
them.
people are killed by your stupid and ignorant info.just make
sure no one gives u a firearm.....guns are only meant for
responsible people.
