Well . . . since it is only a 5 shot cylinder, that would be tough. The supposed safe way to carry one of these is to lay the firing pin down between two cartridges, thereby locking the cylinder in place. I am not sure about all models os 38 DAs, but the early ones had a half-cock notch for safety as well. Not sure if the later models had a rebounding hammer or not??
Bottom line is that any old DA revolver is probably not the best choice to carry loaded. The safest way to carry is with the firing pin on an empty cylinder, but that only leaves you with 4 shots.
