My new toy and I am new to these. Do these pistols have any sort of transfer bar safety ? I dont see anything . In other words if the chamber is loaded with a live round , hammer down, and the gun is dropped is there a danger of discharge ? Is the safe way to carry this cocked and locked or with a chamber empty ? This would not be my 1st choice for self defense, or 2nd or 3rd or...20th...for that matter, but it is amazing pistol at a bargin price (got mine from AIM Surplus, and it came with 2 magazines, a holster, and enough cosmoline for 50 guns) . Excellent sites, trigger, more accurate than i ever will be, zero malfunctions and hits point of aim at 7 to 10 yards with S&B hardball and Remington hollowpoint. On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 for fun, 0 for causes aggravation.
