I have not ever heard of a transfer bar that fails open. Are you sure you weren't carrying a SA with one on the pin?

For the sake of clarity, the transfer bar between the hammer and firing pin is the part that is supposed to drop down. Glad you're still around to tell the story!

When I was 19 years old I was called into an antique shop operated by a girlfriend who picked up a live grenade and asked me if it was real. It was WW2 era that came in a box of memorabilia. It was very real. Glad she didn't pull the pin.
They still are pulling out unexploded ordinance in the fields from WWI. And they used much "better" explosives than were available in our Civil War.
