Why pistol's with external hammers ONLY

[cdrissel]

What good is a revolver if you can't fire it single action? That's just retarded.

Oh yeah, I've seen that guy before, that's just insane! He must have a rubber band implanted in his trigger finger or soemthing.

Look, you guys are missing my point ok? Alot of firearms manufacturers still make guns with external hammers, simply because customers like me still request it. They would all be internal if they were pointless and unnecessary. I'm not insinuating that any gun with an internal hammer is a piece of shit or anything, ont he contrary, I've owned several.

I've just always prefered a gun with a hammer that I can SEE moving.
It's all about what you're comfortable with. I mean, this is something that you are potentially gonna save your life with. It has to be an extension of your arm so to speak. Shouldn't you trust and be intimately familiar with it?
As far as the Revolvers with enclosed hammers? I still stand by my opinion. I'm sure they work just fine, but man are they goofy looking.
Imagine what people would think about it if you transported it back 100 years. Who knows, maybe they'd love it.

That's exactly the reason that I always shop for guns with my great grandma.
