Colt SAA First of Four Clicks.

This pretty much settles it...

How do you figure that? The question was regarding the first click. This video shoes him hitting the hammer while resting on a live cartridge . And then stating that it may go off if hit while on the the first click safety. He may be right ,but saying that the first click safety can be broken is not proving anything.I know my first click safety would have to take a very hard smack to break it , maybe as the gun gets older and many,many rnds are put through it , the hammer block may weaken and then become unsafe. But for me , using it at the range, shooting targets, I'm comfortable with the first click safety. I don't fast draw or twirl my gun, thereby having more of a chance to send it flying down range either.

That's just it, you're running it under ideal circumstances at a range, and those 19th century case hardened hammers may have indeed been fragile by modern metallurgical standards.

That Appears to be the case.
