I remember reading a story about a guy that shot himself in the stomach with a long barreled Ruger single action...went to cock the gun one handed and let the grip slip out of his hand but his finger was still in the trigger guard and tripped the hammer just as the gun pivoted down and pointed at his mid section. I have a 7 1/2" Vaquero and can see how that could easily happen if you fumble the grip when firing one handed.
