bro...google is ur friend
 
some recollection from my SPF NS days

Without pre-cocking the hammer (which no one is supposed to do in training), it takes an immense amount of finger force to discharge the weapon. It would be next to impossible to do it accidentally unless you were really stupid

And there is almost no way to discharge the weapon in the holster, as the holster strap locks the hammer in place, not allowing it to cock backwards

I strongly suspect that either this joker didnt holster his weapon properly or that he removed the gun from the holster and did something really stupid to discharge it accidentally
 
Yes, the holster strap is the cocking hammer guard. It's not possible for a revolver to misfire while being holstered. In PA, we were trained for single-trigger firing without cocking the hammer first. The trigger would cock the hammer itself first before firing. It's very stiff to do that without cocking first, but we got used to it after a few range sessions.

I bet my last dollar the revolver was unhostered and was in his hand. You cannot release the cylinder block if the hammer is in the cock position if I remember correctly to unload. The only way to decock is to hold the hammer and slowly bring it down forward. This method will works if you are experience with the loaded revolver; not when someone is inexperience with the tension of the hammer spring and try to act smart.

It reflect how CISCO screen their officers during recruitment and after. Something which they never learn from past experience . The only burning question in my mind is whether the officer is a FT or a local reject.
 
correction... for single action revolvers, you need to cock the hammer before you squeeze the trigger; and for double action, all you need to do is squeeze the trigger. i teach firearms handling, and my bad for getting that upside down.

Very good chance he is a M'sian. CISCO and AETOS hire lots of them coz locals not keen to be 5th class policemen after our 3rd class state mata. Btw, both CISCO and AETOS are Temasek-owned. Where is the competition then when only these two and SATS are allowed to carry firearms?
 
I thought he saw one ah neh inside .
wasted one bullet.

wah say...u r in a kindergarten or what? www.disney.com is blocked or not?

aiya...the bros here already told you 90% about the revolver liao...in short, u cannot possibly fire off the revolver unless u want to...

There are I think 3 post on how the revolver is fired, none really describing the safety feature. Like I said I am not familiar with the gun. I only learn how to shoot M16 and SAR21. As far as I know if you cock those rifle, there is a safety machansim that prevents you from firing. So I am asking if there is any similar features for the revolver. Someone mention something about single action or double action but is the revolver used by the joker a single or double action, that was what I was asking oh and I got my answer in the post just below yours

BTW no Disney is no blocked. The company blocked a lot of stuff including facebook and at one point this forum when it was classified along as the other sammyboy forum as adult. I know how to circumvent it but since I work in IT, I need to set an example for the others

Yes, SPF revolvers are double-action triggers. Half squeeze to cock and full squeeze to fire.
 
single action revolvers were used in the wild wild west over a century ago. almost all of today's revolvers in active use are double action (da/sa), where you can pull the trigger to do two actions (cock and fire) or you can choose to cock the hammer first before pulling the trigger. in single action only (sao), you have to cock the hammer before pulling the trigger. only in a range with antique keepsakes do folks actually shoot with sao revolvers. double action revolvers going back a hundred years (e.g. colt 45, 1909) already have safety levers.

Yeah, that's why we see in old cowboy movies, the cowboys had to rapid-flip their cocking hammers when in rapid cross-fire. In the absence of Ramseth, you're the forum resident firearms expert now. ;)
 
the colt python 8" barrel with scope using .357 magnum cartridges is not hard to squeeze. it's great for women or girlie men with weak and soft fingers.

ram knows nuts about revolvers and many other firearms.

Well, I don't think he cares how it works as long as it works. He simply shoots people when he's armed. Then cook up a story about self defence.
