And who is this arbiter of honesty?
That is so stupid of a statement as to be incomprehensible.
What is the objective basis for claiming bias?
Is bias a repeatable standard?
Is it the same in China, Russia, Cuba or Canada like the laws of physics?
NOT.

Remember unless he has gotten his directive from the fake news he is clueless as to a response no matter how moronic.

Wrong.
Depends upon the revolver.
Additionally the issue was if something would strike the hammer on some revolvers causing it to fire.
The mere fact of a SA revolver discharging from just holding it with the hammer over a live round is rare and you are more likely to be struck by lightning 365 days in a row and 6 times a day for each day.
PS, I have SA revolvers like that and lowered a hammer over a live round to see what would happen.
I was unsuccessful in getting it to fire with just handling and even striking the hammer with my hand.

It varies with the weapon. This weapon is supposed to be an antique, so that is likely the case in this instance.

Even the most intellectually-challenged should be able to find that information.
But since you evidently can NOT:

How many do you want to watch?

Sounds like some sort of voyeuristic perversion if you want to view, but to each their own . . . .

Wrong. The gun in question was a REPLICA .45 long Colt revolver.

“Santa Fe County Sheriff Adan Mendoza confirmed that the firearm was an Italian-made Pietta Long Colt revolver.” — Reuters.

This gun is available either with or without a transfer-bar safety mechanism. At this time it is not clear which version was used.

A. The transfer-bar system prevents accidental-discharge if the hammer is released without depressing the trigger (which slides the transfer-bar up between the hammer and the firing pin, allowing the pin to hit the cartridge primer) in this model.

B. In the model without a transfer-bar, there is a full-cock position, where the trigger sear is restraining the hammer. Theoretically, the gun may be discharged by pulling back on the hammer and sliding the thumb off, without depressing the trigger, yet allowing the hammer to fall and ignite a cartridge detonation.

In BOTH models there is a “half-cock” position that holds the hammer back to have the cylinder-locking piece allow the cylinder to freely rotate to facilitate loading.

Then why did you ask for a link?

Trying to discredit the obvious?
Attempting to “pull a Krak” and discredit a source?
