HI, i have a rather unusaul question for all the gunsmiths here. Is it possible to make and add, a trigger activated hammer bar safety to traditional single action revolvers. Say a uberti 1860 open top, or usfa SAA or 1858 gated conversion, ect ect ect. I know uberti on there SAA has a safety notch activated hammer bar, and the rest of the traditionals require only loading 5, and resting on a empty chamber.(which im sure applys to the conversions as well.)
So, would such a thing be possible. I think if it was done, it would allow the safe carry of 6 bullets in a SIX GUN. I hate that modern sixguns are actually 5 guns. It just feels wrong. I think that back in the day the cowboys, either used the safety notch as colt instructed, or rested the hammer between catridge rims.
Me i would love a 1860army conversion, or 1858 gated conversion, that allowed me to safely use and carry with 6 rounds. DO they exist, or is it possible to have a custom gunsmith make and install somesort of hammer bar safety that works??
Anyone else feel the way i do about this. It just feels historicly innaccurate to carry 5 in a 6 gun.
The type of hammer bar im refering to is used by smith and wesson in the older da revos, they had a very good hammer bar safety that permited 6 carry
