I like SA guns, but I am more of a DA guy. I have a question, and perhaps I should know this already, but how much force would it take for a SA to accidentally set off a round? A drop directly on the hammer from hip height? Would that do it? Or is the safety issue more so that if your thumb slipped, and the hammer fell back down, that could set off the round?

Just something I've always wondered. I have some SAs, but I'm not into them like Bob Wright is, for example.
