Why do you think an auto is more dangerous?

Far more likely to fire an unintended round while aimed at the perp.
Both guns can kill, the double action is the safer gun in the hands of a
nervous owner...for obvious reasons. There must be the threat of bodily
harm *before* pulling the trigger.

Think about what you just said. "Far more likely to fire an unintended
round..."

If you have a 6 shot revolver with 6 rounds loaded, it is ready to fire if
you pull the trigger. Unless it's one of the newer ones with a built-in key
lock, there is no safety. YOU are the safety.

I use a 40 cal. Kahr. I usually don't carry with one in the chamber, but
sometimes I do. There is no safety on this gun. If there's a round in the
chamber, the gun is precisely as safe or dangerous as yours. You may claim
that because yours has an external hammer, which is heavier, there's a more
tactile warning when the trigger is gradually pulled, but that would be
wrong.
