As long as the hammer isnt cocked it won't fire correct?
Some very old revolvers do not have adequate drop safeties. Depending on the mechanism, dropping such a weapon and applying sufficient force to the hammer could result in an accidental discharge. Therefore, the best practice with any older weapon, regardless of drop safety, is to keep the hammer down on an empty chamber. Newer weapons are safer, but you will have to determine if the particular design of transfer bar, hammer block, whatever form of drop safety, is sufficient for you to confidently carry a SA revolver with a hammer down on a loaded chamber.
I, personally, would carry a New Model Blackhawk or Vaquero with a full cylinder and have no reservations.

I carry my Single Six to capacity. It's basicly a scaled down New Blackhawk. I love that gun!
