In having the right licenses (Canada don't you know) even though my full-time profession was as a Firearms Instructor, had me delivering the odd weapon to movie sets.
One was a lever action rifle, Cowboy Movie. Not to be fired, just held, then slipped into a scabbard, on a horse. No problem. Done headed home.
I observed another scene. Tough looking bad guy, menace some people in a saloon, weapon, 45 single action revolver. Hammer down!
At 6 am I had a call come back! The actor was refusing to change that take? He liked the way he looked in it! He was English, as I am. I showed him the hammer back, hammer down... Would not go off, with hammer down.
He redid the scene. Worth a few dollars for yours truly.
