Revolver Question…….
about concealed carry and shrouded versus unshrouded hammers.
1. If I had a revolver with a unshrouded hammer could I make it fire by striking it with a plastic mallet or does the trigger need to be squeezed in order for the hammer to contact the primmer?
2. If the hammer was partially pulled back(not to the set point of single action) and released, could this cause an accidental discharge?

Thanks PB, I know nothing about a revolver’s internal workings and was thinking there was a device like a hammer block as you described.
If you listen to the hype of sales staff at the big box stores you’ll shot yourself if you strike the hammer accidentally. Sounded like BS. I can see the logic of shrouded, but if given time I prefer to shot any hand gun in single action and like ease in cocking. The two guns in question is the SW 60 & 649
1. no , hammer block would keep the hammer form contacting primers if hammer hit
.hammer block does not disengage until hammer is all the way back with a double action pull or single acton the hammer has to engage fully to unblock the hammer block.
2. NO.again the hammer has to come all the way back with the single action cocking and engage the sear to disengage the hammer block.
This is with modern double action . smith & wesson m.621,m.36 exzample.
