Interested reading about what sort of safety the gun might have had.
A Beretta Stampede indeed has a transfer bar, and it's made by Uberti...now owned by Beretta. But not all repo revos work that way.
My Taylor-marketed Uberti originally had an internal rod that activated the firing pin on the hammer. I was offended by the non original works, so replaced it with a conventional 4-click hammer.
Assuming a similar 4-click hammer, there are three notches that must be defeated before the firing pin can reach a primer. Even if the gun wasn't fully cocked, Baldwin would have had to pull the trigger to allow the hammer to avoid the notches and the gun to fire.
And if the hammer wasn't virtually fully cocked, the cylinder wouldn't have timed up to having a round aligned with the barrel.
