replacing an empty an empty cylinder with a capped loaded one could be risky with your thumb on the hammer and it pulled back some.
You don't pull the hammer back far enough to pop a cap. Just enough to let the cylinder clear the hammer which with mine happens just as the hammer contacts the mainspring. There is just a smidge of spring tension on the hammer(I presume from the hand spring)but with mine you have to have the hammer at about two thirds of half cock before it will pop a cap. However YMMV.
