Interesting question. Admittedly I have not shot the revolver yet. Apparently neither did the previous owner. What you can't see in the video is the cobwebs in the cylinder holes. I do plan on shooting it though. I have attempted quite a few presentations from a pair of regular jeans which the is rather heavy for but doable. Coat pocket presentations are fine goes in and out no problems. One has to realize the trigger although smooth and crisp is probably 12 pounds, pulling the trigger would be hard to do if not deliberate. This gun was certainly not meant for a holster but can be fire from inside the pocket, provided it is alone in the pocket. The way the trigger is bobbed it makes it so someone with smaller hands can grab the pistol higher up and comfortable pull that trigger. I can see with the open trigger guard it is really ready to go no matter how you hold the gun. I would think being the trigger guard could hang it up but it seems really rigid and rather thick you would have to beat it down like hammer. Even if you bent the trigger guard I am confident it will still fire. It works with mittens too!
