A gun without hammers looks like a like a dog without ears......

Or at least that's what some folks thought when external hammers fell out of favor.

Upside to external hammers is the look.
Downside is many use a rebounding hammer design to lift the hammer from the firing pin after striking it.
In many designs, the hammer does not lock in the rebounded position and can be pushed forward with finger pressure.

If they get dropped on the rebounded hammer, it can move forward and strike firing pin, causing an uncommanded discharge.

They are fun to shoot, but you don't want to trip and fall with one.

Just something to think about when selecting your gun.
