Ouch ouch ouch 
If I was EVER going to carry a semi-auto - ANY semi-auto - without a holster, I would put it in the BACK of my pants. Not the FRONT!!!!! Would rather have a few powder burns on my backside, than go looking for parts that I might want later!!!!
When I had a Glock I put it in a Fobus hard shell holster, I think. Can't remember.
I often put a single action inside the waistband in the front of my pants while walking around on the deer lease. Needless to say, it's verified that the hammer is down before doing this! Also, with a 5.5" barrel, the cylinder is in front of my left hipbone and the muzzle ends up under the left front pocket, pointed out past my leg, without any of my body parts in front of it. That is, it's pointed to one side, not straight down Worst case, if it went off, there might be some "sting" from the b/c gap, but hopefully no permanent losses....
A 5.5 stainless Bisley is pretty comfortable to carry this way, my opinion.
