Oneounceload,
I could be way off the mark with this; but, as I recall the whole "drop" question is really not about safety, but it's an embargo issue. To prevent the importation of "cheap Saturday-night specials" the US import regulations initiated the drop test, among other requirements. If I'm correct, it doesn't apply to domestic arms. You can buy a drop-susceptible US made Single Action Army replica revolver, but an imported version must pass the drop test.
