Many original single-action revolvers have a half-cock "safety" notch on the hammer, but these are not drop-proof.

It is safe to carry such firearms with a loaded chamber under the hammer.
The CDA aka LEM trigger is a dual-stage trigger that always fires from a hammer down DA mode, but has an internal mechanism that is cocked with each cycle of the action. It provides a cocked double-action trigger pull of 20 N (4.5 lb f ) (+4/-2 N) and an uncocked double-action trigger pull of 51 N (11.5 lb f ) (±5 N).
In addition to classic DA/SA trigger (V3) variants, Heckler and Koch features a proprietary Combat Defensive Action (CDA) or Law Enforcement Modification (LEM) in their P30 line, which is a variant of conventional Double Action Only (DAO) triggers.
