six shooter hammer positions

I recently purchased an AWA Longhorn six shooter.
It does not have a passive safety bar so it must be carried with the hammer on an empty chamber. But is does have 4 cock positions.
The third is for loading and the fourth position is for firing.
Anyone know what the 2nd cock position is for? Thanks.

Once you try using it, you'll soon realize, it's more dangerous than having no safety at all. Even after quite a bit of shooting mine is still really tight. You're fiddling around with a loaded gun playing with the hammer with your fingers in front of a loaded cylinder!! It's much easier to just remember the old routine: Load one, skip one, load four, close the gate, bring it to full cock, lower the hammer. The empty chamber will be under the hammer every time this way.

I assume you picked up your "Longhorn" second hand. The "safety" is covered in the manual. If you don't have one email me and I'll photo copy mine and send it to you.
