Small cuts in the back of the cylinder in between each round where the hammer can be lowered so the gun can be carried without the hammer resting on/above a live round. More here: https://northamericanarms.com/safety/

The notches are for safety, as there's not much of a safety. There is a notch between each cylinder chamber. If you carry this then you'd want to rest the hammer in a notch. It was my pleasure to assist you.
