A Pietta Great Western II DLX Californian 357 Mag Revolver typically features a transfer bar safety mechanism instead of a traditional "safety bar" found on some other firearms; this means that a small metal bar is situated between the hammer and the firing pin, preventing the firing pin from being struck unless the trigger is pulled fully, acting as a safety feature. Key points about the Pietta Great Western transfer bar safety: Function: When the trigger is pulled, the transfer bar is raised into position, allowing the hammer to strike it and transfer the force to the firing pin, thus firing the cartridge. Safety benefit: This design prevents accidental discharges if the hammer is struck directly on the firing pin due to a bump or drop.
