Cerillo was also the inventor of the term NY Reload, meaning carrying two guns and dropping the one empty to draw the second, so I can see how the dropping of a revolver could screw up the hammer, and I would imagine a Target hammer might be a bit stronger.

Funny how at the end of his life, Cerillo carried a Glock, though.
