Ruger revolvers firing without trigger pulled?

I added another wheelgun to my collection, getting rid of all these dang autos haha Got a ruger security six in stainless .357 magnum. I gotta say I like it. It doesn't 'feel' as solid as my blackhawks, but I like that it isn't as heavy and seems to fit my hand well, pretty nice gun and I'm happy with the purchase.

anyhow...

while showing it off, I was informed to not trust a ruger revolver with 6 loaded in it, that they have been known to go off without pulling the trigger, although the person who told me that has proven to be quite unreliable in their information. I thought it was impossible to happen unless something got in front of the hammer to take the place of the transfer bar. Does anyone know of any confirmed cases of this? I've always like rugers with the transfer bar just because of the extra safety factor, would hate to find out otherwise, but would love to know...
