So uhm I accidentally bought a new Heritage Barkeep. After also ordering a magnum cylinder, a birdshead grip frame, and a birdshead mainspring from their website...I decided this firearm is carry worthy. At least for me it is. I have one REALLY stupid question though.
The manual hammer block safety is fine for the most part. I've gotten used to disengaging it while simultaneously cocking the hammer, all in one motion. The only thing that scares me is disengaging the safety while the hammer is resting on it, as it causes the hammer to fall forward the rest of the way. It's only like an 8th inch or so of travel, and with hardly any tension. Is there any possible scenario where that could cause enough impact to crush the rim and discharge a round?
