When I'm sitting out in a stand, the hammer is back. Then I sit with my finger off the trigger and my weak hand thumb(well actually glove) sitting between the hammer and the frame. That's my safety.

As soon as I can find an affordable New Frontier in .44 Magnum, I will!
And, as I've pointed out many times, the Three Screw Rugers do work like a Colt.

P.S. You neglected to mention that to be very quiet, you must ease the hammer down to half cock. Then wjhen ready to fire, hold the trigger back as you re-cock the revolver.
