When John Cassavetes is twirling the revolver, Jack Kelly asks Cassavetes about the revolver having a hair trigger, which Cassavetes affirms. Kelly then remarks that the safety is off.While a revolver may have a moderately light trigger pull if in single-action mode (the hammer being manually cocked), the firearm clearly is in double-action mode (hammer down).In such a configuration it would take several pounds of pull to cause the firearm to go through the cocking and firing cycle. This further is demonstrated by the fact that twirling the revolver results in no discharge.More erroneously, revolvers do not have a 'safety.' The hammer being at rest on the frame (in double-action mode) is the only (and effective) guard against an accidental discharge.
