Ok, the problem with this style of defense is this....you have to physically pull the hammer back with your thumb on a single action Colt 1873 model revolver.
This puts the hammer at full cock and moves the cylinder ... if you 'pulled' the trigger before cocking the piece nothing would happen.
If your finger has the trigger pressed, under pressure, the hammer will fall as soon as you remove your thumb. It need not be pulled.
You can 'fan' a single action Colt by holding the trigger down and, with the off hand, striking/fanning the hammer spur.
A strange thing to say with that type of revolver....
Lawyer speak for a 'defective firearm' perhaps.... setting the stage.
