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. Woodman, the exposed trigger doesn’t matter much since it is a single-action-only gun.
