There really isn't enough room. Rims are very close together in a SAA and the rounded firing pin against the bevel of the rim will cam it right out because there is no bolt holding it. I think Driftwood Johnson illustrated that.
The "safety pin" on a Colt C&B is pretty small and subject to getting battered down, less secure than the notch on a Remington cylinder. There were some C&Bs made with 12 stop notches so that the cylinder would be locked between chambers.
yep
Walked my lazy but to the safe, and looked, you're exactly right
