Most of those were with the firing pin resting upon the round (hammer all of the way down). OP specifically asked about the first notch in the hammer. I guess I could state the this way. In no case is it safe for a round to be under a hammer in a SAA, unless it is ready to be fired. No matter what notch location the hammer is in.
I am very aware what has been said about the Colt SAA. I have owned them most all of my life. And used one to judge how strong I was when younger by trying to pick my Grandfather's up off the bed in the camper (with him there). I still own and shoot that one to this day. I also know folks who carry them daily, even some while riding a horse. And I have been known to daily carry one at times. (Though if I never see a horse again, it will be to soon for me. I am not fond of the things).
