Okay, so if I drop it, it could mis-fire?
No.

The hammer "rebounds" from it's bottom position and is held there by the rebound slide. You can see this for yourself: with the gun unloaded, cock the hammer, and keep your thumb on it. Then pull the trigger and keep it pulled while lowering the hammer. Once lowered all the way, slowly release the trigger, and you'll see the hammer "rebound". With your finger off the trigger now, simply try to push the hammer forward, and you'll see that you can't.

And I've had it at a range a few times, but never anywhere with anyone to give instruction, is that something I should definitely look into doing?
Never a bad idea. Some good instruction can go a long way.

BTW, welcome to TFL. I'm a LV native myself (born & raised), but lived in the south for 20+ years. Seems it's gotten real crowded there since
