If your hunting game that stands there and lets you clank a round into the chamber, you must be on a farm....
Over 20 years of hunting Colorado big game carrying both hot and cold, never lost an animal I can think of because the chamber was empty and never hunted anything but free-ranging, wild animals.
Comments like yours show a definite lack of experience.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
