Anything mechanical can fail. Personally if I had a D/A revolver, I'd carry it hammer down on an empty chamber. If I've shot off 5 rounds and still haven't stopped or deterred my target, then I'm in way over my head.
You are more likely to pull the DA trigger and the gun explode from being out of time than a properly made D/A wheelgun with a blocking bar or transfer bar system failing when dropping a gun.
