I agree. No gun has ever fired accidently without a round in the
chamber. Lots of them have otherwise.

S&W makes a hammerless titanium revolver designed specifically for
concealed carry. Not a bad gun but only 5 rounds, and like all DA
revolvers, has a long trigger pull. I've known a few retired cops who
carried concealed revolvers in an ankle holster.
