RE: Weekend near tragedy
I had a T/C renegade with double triggers. I always cocked it fully before using the set trigger. Never tried to set the trigger with the hammer at half cock. Don't know why you'd want or need to. Can't say if that lock would allow the hammer all the way back down past halfcock after setting the trigger, and then relaeasing the hammer while trying to fully cock the hammer. Got rid of that gun, and got a Renegade with a single trigger and larger trigger guard when they first came out back in 1989. I know that this gun will not allow the hammer to contact the nipple if the hammer is released between half and full cock.
