Has anybody out there had any experience with bobbing the hammer on a revolver?
I have found many mixed reviews/opinions on this, but few actual experiences. Some say it is no problem, others say by lightening the hammer you greatly increase the chance of a misfire.
Personally, I think that if a pistol can't muster enough gumption to fire a primer after it has been bobbed then it wasn't much of a handgun to begin with..... but I have never tried it before...... and the last thing I would want to do is ruin the reliability of a great revolver.
Sooooo.... help me out INGO..... Has anyone had success or failure bobbing the hammer on a revolver?
Thanks!
