Here's the PDF for the user manual of the model 83 revolver.

Pages 7/29 and 10/29 of the user manual SPECIFICALLY states for the user NOT to carry with the chamber loaded on this revolver.

His story makes me very suspicious as this is a SAA replica which has the "4 clicks" 3 of these clicks are either notches or shelves cut into the hammer. There are 3 safety notches in the hammer.

1. Safe cock (nowhere near enough distance to discharge a round shoiuld this safety fail) ----> Page 15/29
2. 1/2 cock---> page 13/29
3. Full cock ---> page 11/29
(The fourth click is the sound of the bolt dropping into the cylinder slot and locking the cylinder in place)

The complaint said while Taylor was taking off his coat in the trailer, a part of the coat caught the hammer of the gun, causing it to discharge a bullet into his lower right leg.

Unless he has been goofing around with the hammer and safety notches (probably tried to do an "action Job") or was just plain goofing around with his trigger finger while drawing a fully cocked sidearm this story is http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k84/yahoshua/Smilies/bs.gif


There's no way all 3 safeties could've failed without tampering of the firearm unless maybe he was trying to make if fail by beating the hammer on a table or soemthing? But even then, there would be obvious damage to the hammer and trigger (the trigger would break before that safety shelf or notch ever will).

Too big and aukward they are. Sig Sauer are much more user friendly in my opinion. No safety is a plus. I have three. From .380 to .40 with a 9mm in between.

BTW Trijicon is a must!!!

The only thing I will ever purchase from Ruger is a Mk. III .22 pistol. I will NOT buy anything else from Ruger as Ruger firearms are not gunsmith friendly. So if something breaks on them , you have to send the firearm back to the factory to get it repaired.
