The second notch is the loading notch. The _first_ notch is the safety notch. I suspect that in those NDs with the old model the safety notch was not being used. The Colt was designed to be carried with six beans in the wheel and the hammer in the safety notch. I am not aware of a documented case of a discharge from the safety notch except the Army Ordnance testing where an obviously defective hammer failed.
Wow, you really went the extra mile for that gun. I have the same thing (old model, 4 clicks) and the 9mm cylinder is miserably inaccurate. Good video!
Incorrect. You had in on Half cock. the first click, is the "Safety Notch and the Fragility of it, is a myth that has been tested and found sufficient.
Not really a big fan of Ruger nor the 9mm. I do have an Uberti 1873 clone in .357 While not perfect it is almost perfect. it is the gun I watched TV series and movies etc. It looks more like an old Colt than current Colts look. I also have one in 44 spl. That I shoot much more often. You would have to be half blind to even think a Ruger resembles a Colt. Everyone who has shot my 44 spl gun wants one. even tho it is far from my most expensive SA or DA revolver. I am failing to see how I have any use for a Ruger version. To make a magnum out of a non magnum? LOL.. seriously? I own real magnums. What am I missing here? I somehow need a gun that does not resemble the guns I like because it has features I don't need or want?
