First, let me say that I have ZERO experience with revolvers, but I want to get one eventually, so please bare with me if this is a dumb question.
Assuming you have a modern double action revolver that allows you to cock the hammer for a single action shot and you have a round in every chamber (correct terminology?), what is the safest way to drop the hammer, you know, without actually shooting downrange?
Also, do most revolvers have a "half-cock" like 1911's?
FYI: the revolver that caught my eye, that eventually led to this question, was the Charter Arms Rimless Revolver... luckily for me I only found out about it a few months ago, so I havent been waiting as long as most.
