ARs have a floating firing pin. The SA does not.Why wouldn't it? It does in AR15s.

That isn't relevant.ARs have a floating firing pin. The SA does not.
You're telling me.Sigh ....
It's moot since a live round shouldn't be under a resting hammer on single action revolvers without modern safety features.Let's say you load six chambers in a Colt SAA, then decock, leaving the firing pin resting on a primer.
Then, you pull the hammer back, but not far enough to get to the half cock. The cylinder should not rotate. If you release the hammer with the thumb, the hammer should drop the firing pin onto the primer, but the distance is short enough that it will not set off the primer.
What would happen if you performed the above action repeatedly? Would the primer accumulate a large dimple. Would the dimple get large enough to set off the primer?
I'm thinking of how repeated rechambering the same round an AR15 can eventually lead to a round firing from the floating firing pin dimple.
Can it? I looked all over the web and only found stories were it "happened to a guy I know" or some rando at the range maybe 'my sarge told me . . ." but no actual evidence of firing from repeated rechambering. I did find these two fairly well documented problemsI'm thinking of how repeated rechambering the same round an AR15 can eventually lead to a round firing from the floating firing pin dimple.

It's my favorite game. Guess what garbage they are posting based on the reactions. They only have like the same points, over and over. Just check the party platform. Simple, really.The old disappearing whiner trick.
How am I supposed to feel sorry for you if I can't see your insightful posts?
The only reason you got to see that post after he ignored you is cuz it was the lead-off post in the thread. Consider yourself lucky!The old disappearing whiner trick.

Oh , I read this whole vapid thread when it launched.The only reason you got to see that post after he ignored you is cuz it was the lead-off post in the thread. Consider yourself lucky!
So, you got to see the responses prior to your being igg'ed, then? Got it.Oh , I read this whole vapid thread when it launched.
Often wondered about that myself...I just don't understand why he keeps pretending to own guns.
Pictures or it didn't happen.
Probably because they need someone to disagree with them. Being surrounded by like minded robots can be so tiring. Those types wouldn't actually help a fella out when needed, anyway.Oh , I read this whole vapid thread when it launched.

The question is whether the hammer could be dropped repeatedly from a point just before the 1/4 cock enough to eventually dimple the primer enough to fire.note the safety overhang on the first two notches, this is how we know that a.b. pulled the trigger or held it down(@RX-79G

No. But you understand that it would not be a single strike, right?the safety notch holds the hammer about 1/8 inch off the frame. good luck getting it to go off without a hammer. does this hypothetical include holding the trigger down?
