No, I definitely DON'T have a need to do it, just wanted more experienced hands opinion on it. We tend to be a bit more concerned with personal safety now, while they may have been (and rightly so) more concerned about basic survival. As an example, everyone now talks about the old timers ALWAYS loading the six guns with five, for safety. A friend of mine has collected rusty dug-ups for years, and he says they were just about always fully loaded. And then we have the account of Wyatt Earp having an accidental discharge when his pistol fell out of the holster and lit on the hammer, which would indicate he had his loaded with six. Imminent danger of someone trying to kill you now trumped passive safety concerns in general.
