Has anyone investigated how common it is for a dropped sixgun to land on the hammer?
The few times that I've dropped one, (when as a youngster, while practicing my Matt Dillon fast draw), it either landed on the bottom of the grip or on the side.
Never on the hammer.
It would seem that even if dropped directly on the hammer, it would have to happen indoors on a hard floor, to risk a discharge.
Outside, on the ground, unless it hit directly on the one, lonely rock anywheres around, the soft grass or dirt would prevent a discharge.
