The chamber under the hammer when you pull the trigger is not fired, it's rotated as the hammer goes back, and the hammer then falls on the next one (which would be loaded).

My late husband (God bless him) was probably the only man in America upset over the movie "Lara Croft:Tomb Raider" because Angelina Joele didn't handle her guns properly
