Good evening to you!! No, the Pietta 1873 Hand of God .357 Magnum Revolver (UPC: 641996200700) does not have a transfer bar safety. Explanation: Period Correct Design: The Pietta Great Western II line, which includes the "Hand of God" model, is designed to be historically accurate to the original Colt 1873 Single Action Army. Firing Pin on Hammer: These revolvers have a firing pin located directly on the hammer, replicating the original design, rather than a transfer bar. Safety Mechanism: The Great Western II line utilizes a "floating firing pin" in the hammer, providing a safety feature consistent with the historical period. Hope this helps, have a good rest of your day.
Hi Nicholas and welcome. This model is period correct with a solid hammer and 4 - Click operation. This means that as you thumb the hammer, you will hear four distinct clicks, which is characteristic of the authentic Colt Single Action Army action that the Pietta 1873 is designed to emulate. This 4-click operation is considered by many to be a desirable feature for enthusiasts seeking a historically accurate or "period correct" feel in their single-action revolver. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!
No transfer bar.
