O.K., I've been doing some searching, and I just found this on the magnumresearch website:

The BFR uses a transfer bar that will not allow the gun to fire unless the trigger is pulled back to release the hammer only after it has been fully cocked. There is no need to carry the gun with an empty chamber while hunting. The BFR will not fire if it has been accidentally dropped.

I know the Ruger Vaqueros are like that too.

Does anyone know about the Freedom Arms revolvers? They're not safe to carry fully loaded, are they? To me, that is a nice advantage. Any input?

Thanks, Shane
