the four clicks of the original Colt single-action hammer is absent. This, to the true traditionalist, is an unforgivable deviation from authenticity. That said, though, the hammer comes back easily enough and smoothly enough that the ergonomics are essentially the same. Alas, however, the shooter will feel only three clicks by the time the hammer reaches full cock. The old-timers said that those four clicks spelled CO-L-T. Well, on this revolver, I guess the three clicks will have to spell N-E-W.
