it does not have a "safety" but it does have a floating firing pin so the hammer can be safely with 6 rounds in the cylinder

Hi James and welcome. This model has a floating firing pin so the hammer can be safely rested on a live round. This is a 3 - Click updated version and not the original 4 - click with solid hammer that necessitated the hammer being rested on an empty cylinder. Cheers and stay safe!

Hi James, yes this has a hammer safety. The firing pin is mounted to the hammer which has a lightly checked spur for improved cocking. As a single-action revolver, the hammer must be fully cocked for each shot fired. It should be noted here that the hammer has three positions, each of which is accompanied by a distinctive “click” as the hammer moves through its arch of travel. The first click is the safe position. Thanks to a modern hammer safety, not found on the original 1873 model, the Cattleman revolvers can be carried with all six chambers loaded when the hammer is in this first position. The second click frees the cylinder to rotate clockwise for loading. The third click is fully cocked. With the hammer in this position the revolver is ready to fire.
