Hey guys, so I've done TONS of research and watched hundreds of videos. I bought this gun but have not received it yet. With so many models of this gun out there, can anyone tell me DEFINITIVELY, will the hammer have 4 clicks or 3, and will it have retractable firing pin or the notched retainer for hammer safety?

yes it has the 3 clicks from a good article "It should be noted here that the hammer has three positions, each of which is accompanied by a distinctive “click” as the hammer moves through its arch of travel. The first click is the safe position. Thanks to a modern hammer safety, not found on the original 1873 model, the Cattleman revolvers can be carried with all six chambers loaded when the hammer is in this first position. The second click frees the cylinder to rotate clockwise for loading. The third click is fully cocked. With the hammer in this position the revolver is ready to fire." link to article americanrifleman.org/articles/2015/3/9/review-taylors-co-1873-cattleman-gunfighter/
