Absolutely NOTHING is "absolutely safe".
Never underestimate the power of fools.

You notice that ad jargon isn't used today...

Such a sweet, trusting little girl.

The ad seems misleading, though. I don't think revolvers were ever "automatic, hammerless" pistols; but what harm is there in a little hyperbole when you want to properly arm your precious child for self defense. She looks a bit like baby Bonnie Parker.

Yikes!

Yea I remember seeing this particular ad on a site that displayed many ads from the past and some were downright unbelievable! Most (nearly all) are no longer appropriate due to abject racial and sexist undertones.
