Hey folks, I just purchased a Used/Like New Freedom Arms Premier Grade .454 71/2" with SSK 3 ring mount and Leupold 4X scope.
I paid 950.00 bucks and got an Uncle Mikes Bandolier Holster with it. Always wanted one and when I walked into my dealer today I saw it I had to have it. My question is this, The dealer told me it is not safe to carry on a loaded chamber but he showed me what he called the "notch cock" position and said that it is safe to carry that way. I own several Ruger single actions and have never dealt with Freedom Arms or Colts with half cock or notch cock positions. Is what I was told true, should I carry on an empty chamber and is it not safe to carry hammer down?
