You're absolutely wrong about most of these hammerless guns without safetys being used on Passenger Pigeons. Those birds were essentially gone by 1885, most them them would have been shot with hammer guns.

Last known wild bird was shot in 1900, the last known bird died in the Cincinnati Zoo in 1914.
