only when the hammer and trigger are
fully forward. Opening the gate immobilizes the trigger, hammer, and transfer bar.
When the gate is opened, the cylinder is unlatched
and can be turned by the hand for loading or
ejection. When the gate is closed, the cylinder latch
functions in the normal manner. The loading notch
is therefore unnecessary in the revolver’s design.
