I never claimed to be anything but a gun enthusiast. Stated several times I don’t know Jack about movie sets.
But any shooter/gun enthusiast knows that the first thing you do when picking up ANY weapon, no matter what type, is clear it. This means physically checking the magazine and chamber for ammunition. On a single action revolver, you examine all the chambers one by one.
No ifs ands or but’s.
