Where is the safety lever on the Freedom Arms Model 83.  I can't find it in any of the few pictures I've seen of this interesting revolver.  Thanks.

"The Model 97 is a thoroughly modem sixgun made of stainless steel, factory custom hand fitted parts, extremely close tolerances, and having a modern action with transfer bar. Unlike the Model 83, which has a safety that must be engaged by placing the hammer in the safety notch, the Model 97 has an automatic safety that places a bar of steel between the hammer and the firing pin when it is lowered."

you have to manuelly set it by pulling the hammer back one "click".  that engages the safey.   there is no lever or button that is visable.

The most important safety on a firearm is the one resting between your ears.  

Or as a firearms instructor once told us:

Finger on trigger - "Safety off"

Finger off  trigger - "Safety on"

The Freedom Arms revolvers are wonderful firearms and I enjoy mine very much.
