I don't know of ANY double action revolvers with a safety so that particular question demonstrates a lack of knowledge. Yeah, the cheap Heritage brand single action revolver features a safety but it's sold as a range toy and I rather doubt that anyone actually carries one.

I also carry with one in the chamber because that firearm is carried for protection. If I wanted to carry a club I'd look for a proper night stick because handguns just aren't a very good club, especially shorter barreled handguns.

As for my carry choice, it's an old school DA/SA semi auto because I like not having to be concerned about flipping off a safety. So, I guess you can say I am about as Politically Incorrect about carrying as is legally possible.
