As for the safety pins, they were used so the gun could be carried safely with the hammer down but ready for immediate use, like the slots in the rear of the Remington cylinder. Most repros don't have them (though they have the hammer notch!) since the makers felt that repros would not be carried full up.

I've never seen one without them or at least one on a Walker as per originals. I've had a number of Colt style revolvers over the years and they all had six.
