In fairness there _are_ old single action revolvers that will fire if you drop them, shake them too hard, or encounter a slight breeze, sometimes even if you had the hammer down.
Gun design has come a long way in the last hundred and fifty years, and a C&R revolver floating around_cowboy_ sets _could_ have been designed by the same people who brought us mercury supplements and ungrounded electrical systems.
Also in fairness, this is why people are _extra_ careful to obey _all_ the rules of firearm safety around old guns; when there are so many more ways things can go wrong unexpectedly, the multiple layers of safety are even more important. And even if it _wasn't_ his finger on the bullet, it was still his gun and his bullet.
