I've got so much change and other crap in mine, that I know darn well I wouldn't notice a difference in 36 vs 38 lbs or any rattles/flapping...or it could have been a S&W SC340 like I have that weighs 12 ounces...

isnt BUF an outstation for Piedmont??? so I'm assuming he prob didnt get the gun in BUF or have a gun stuffed in his bag from someone in BUF.. Another MAJOR TSA FAIL as he most likely had gone through security somewhere else with it lol.

BUF was the first airport on the trip he had to clear. Even at outstations we are allowed to skip security and go in through ops, at most airports anyway.

Gone through TSA with it prior...? No. I'd say 100% no.

not sure I'd be announcing this for the whole world to see. CNN sees this and there goes that privilege. Not to mention specific security details should not be posted....

Some guys choose to carry five rounds so the hammer is on an empty chamber. It goes back to the first revolvers in the mid-1800s.

Less chance of a shattered femur.

I store a 6 shot with the next chamber in line empty. Transfer bar takes away the ND possibility unless you've got something like the old Colts with no bar.

I hope there is a lot of sarcastic undertone there. I have seen a guy walk through a TSA medal detector with an 8 inch buck knife in his pocket...

In addition to what Dash says, a good rule of thumb...

Single Action - top chamber empty.

Double action or transfer bar - next chamber empty, or load all 6 if you'll need them.

Angry pilot wife out to mess with hubby - however many bullets it takes, just don't get fingerprints on them.
