3) Grasp the revolver (if right-handed) so that the

thumb and forefinger of your left hand are firmly

holding the frame, forward of the trigger guard.

Thus, your left hand is in full control of the revolver.

See Figure 29.

4) Place your right thumb firmly on the hammer spur.

With your thumb securely in control of the

hammer, squeeze the trigger only enough to

permit the hammer to break free of the trigger.

At that instant, slowly permit the hammer (STILL

forward to its resting position against the frame.

See Figure 30.

Practice this important gun handling skill with an unloaded revolver until you have

developed the proper control and touch to safely decock your revolver. The key to

safe decocking is having the weight of the revolver controlled with one hand, while

the thumb and forefinger of the “shooting hand” control the hammer and trigger.
