Hickok45, demonstrating high expertise, explains the critical safety difference between loading five or six rounds in a single-action revolver. He illustrates how older designs lack safety mechanisms, making hammer strikes on chambered rounds dangerous. Modern revolvers with transfer bars mitigate this risk, but the practice of loading five rounds remains a sound safety culture element, particularly in competitive shooting like Cowboy Action Shooting.
