Pietta is a very good quality SAA replica, and by Italian law must meet standards for proof testing and safe design. Far as I know, the only way to make an SAA or clone fire without pressing the trigger is by a hard blow to the back of the hammer, overcoming the "safety" notch of the sear which holds the hammer when at rest. This is why these guns should be carried with an empty chamber under the hammer, as they can discharge if dropped on the hammer. Baldwin was holding the gun, he didn't drop it. Even if the hammer was all the way down and resting on a live primer it is not going to fire without a blow to the hammer.
Alec, this was probably an accident but you still pulled the damn trigger. Man up and quit dragging this out. Take a misdemeanor negligent homicide type deal from the DA, do your community service, and write a nice check to Hutchins' family.
