Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a NAA .22 magnum sidewinder [with swing out cylinder] revolver for daily pocket carry. Is it safe to carry the gun all chambers loaded? I know most literature says yes, but I still wonder. I guess I should just keep that pocket empty so that nothing can snag on the hammer and cock it back?
Even if the chance of it discharging in my pocket is only .000001% with all chambers loaded and the hammer resting on the groove between chambers wouldn't that chance be the same as if I rested the hammer on a totally empty chamber [loading only 4/5 chambers], since if the hammer snags and cocks it will cock the hammer onto the next loaded chamber? Thanks!
