That "semi-shroud", makes no sense to me. The hammer still sticks out to be caught by something...especially inside a pocket (in a pocket holster of course). Furthermore, I see no purpose at all for a spur on a double-action concealed weapon inasmuch as I have never heard a convincing argument for having a spur on a defensive weapon. No convincing arguments...just platitudes like, "for that occasional longer shot...", etc. But, never any logical rationale for such a shot. It seems to me an ideal gun for someone who is not going to make the effort to learn to shoot double-action with a double-action revolver.
