The Sunday Smith is back!
After a nearly 6 months hiatus I was very pleased see a new post at Tam's The Arms Room. Her latest blog post in the Sunday Smith series covers the S&W Number 1 revolver.

Woodman, the exposed trigger doesn’t matter much since it is a single-action-only gun. You must manually pull the hammer back before it can fire. Pulling the trigger while the hammer is down will have absolutely no effect.
As a side note, I saw one of the old S&W 22 tip-up revolvers (re-nickeled) at a gun show about a year ago for just $100. That was before I knew what it was and I still can’t stop kicking myself for passing it.

I’m sure that was an advanced pistol design in its day, but that exposed trigger scares the bejeezus out of me.
