Wow....just wow. I am shocked that this has happened twice in a row. They need to hold of any new releases of models for a while.

Going to sticky this for a while.

I used to have a nice animated .gif that illustrated just how a transfer bar safety functioned. I can't seem to find it, but if I do I'll post it for you.

Unless you have a fully enclosed hammer model you can look down under hammer and see the "bar" come up in place over the rounded aft end of the firing pin.

Many single action revolvers like "cowboy" guns, and old revolvers (pre 1960's) in general, a projection on the hammer IS the firing pin, and if down on a live round could fire the round in the chamber if dropped.

Thanks for the explanation OS! I basically knew how that worked....I just didn't know that it was called a transfer bar.

Cool. I have an old H&R .22 revolver that has sort of an "opposite transfer bar" system. Has a shim that is always in place UNTIL cocked, to prevent the rim fire hammer from contacting the round if dropped, then the shim (or transfer bar) moves out of the way so hammer can contact the round.

Heard someone say on another forum that they had talked to Ruger and were told it would be at least two to three weeks before the labels started going out.--MP
