Did you know that every revolver manufactured in or imported to the USA has a transfer bar or hammer block safety since 1915?
I read it on the internet. It must be true.
Assuming they mean new made guns made just for import and not milsurps that come later...
Um.
No.
I can't find the Facebook post I commented on now either.
I want to say it was The Truth About Guns... But I can't find the post in question. That means that even if it was TTAG's Facebook, I can't tell you if it was them or a commenter.
But it's patently untrue.
While most makers were changing over to such devices during the early 20th century, lots of legacy designs kept on with production for years without them.
Aren't there still replicas that are made here or imported that don't have a transfer bar or hammer block safety even today? Some of those probably don't count in the eyes of that FB poster since they are black powder I suppose.
