I have a SAO revolver that I like to keep loaded and stored in the nightstand for home defense purposes. I am wondering what is the safest way to store it like that.
Currently, it is loaded with 5 rounds with the hammer at full rest, resting on the firing pin of the empty chamber. Is this the best way to store it?
Or should I have the hammer pulled back at the first click position, (called the safety position according to the manual), with the hammer away from the firing pin? I feel that if I store it like that, it will weaken the spring with it constantly being held in that position. That's why I decided to load 5 rounds in with the hammer fully rested on the empty chamber.
Or, if it is okay to leave the hammer at the first click safety position, and it will not weaken the spring being stored like that for a long period of time, to have all 6 rounds in the chamber?
What do you guys recommend? Thanks guys.
