• Q: I see there is a question here about a floating firing pin. If it has the floating firing pin, what does that mean - what is the difference? (no firing pin on the hammer?)

  A:

  Aaron, this is essentially an internal hammer mechanism that works with a retractable firing pin floating free within an internal guide. When the hammer is not cocked the firing pin floats inside the head of the hammer and cannot exert any forward pressure on a chambered round. In order for that to happen, the hammer must first be cocked, and only then will the sear that engages the firing pin allow it to lock in the forward position. As soon as the gun is fired, or the hammer is lowered, the firing pin floats free again. Think of it as a Glock trigger safety inside of a revolver’s hammer. The best part is that from the outside the retractable firing pin allows the hammer and frame to look exactly as they should (and did back in the day), allowing this new line of Uberti, Taylors and other Single Actions to look exactly like their historical predecessors.

• Q: The above answer isn't 100% clear, does this pistol have the transfer bar safety or is it true to the original design with fixed firing pin on the hammer? Do these now have the rebounding firing pin or strictly fixed? Are these full sized or are the grips smaller?

  A:

  Yeah...I think you hit it. Single action revolvers copying the Colt SA rarely have any kind of manual safety. But I have seen some that do.. They use a "hammer block" safety that prevents the hammer from striking anything. Really nice looking gun. Good for just shooting or maybe some "cowboy" competition.
