Did he already have his CHL badge? :sad:

I agree

That was what I was doing when I was trying to do the steps I was describing.

Mag out, double check, then doing the activity. I consider myself a novice and could see how someone could make that mistake.

I would not, and do not, do this.

...that being said.....I was not the one with blood all over the rocks.

I do not dry fire my guns. I do check the safety when I pick them up because a gun is loaded until proven (twice) otherwise.

I did not mean to hyjack this thread because it is a good topic.

1911

when you press the slide from the front of a 1911 style pistol you cannot fire it.

I think that I am saying that correctly.

WITH AN UNLOADED 1911, in the cocked position, press your palm firmly at the front of the barrel and slide. Then try to pull the trigger. The hammer will not fall.

So if you "safety" press a loaded 1911 and do it wrong, you shoot your palm.

I just tried it with my XD9 and the same thing.


I am not a gun smith and do not play one on TV. I did not sleep in a Holiday Inn last night.

Some might call it art :shock: This was not a CHL class.

I have made a promise to myself to remain a handgun student for the rest of my life and learn from all kinds of people if they have information to offer. There is usually more than one way to do everything!

I am fortunate enough to have an amazing CHL instructor that I trust...I realize that we do not all have that available. I just position myself at the end of a group so I can see what other people are doing and get out of the way if I see a muzzle.

I know who you're talking about. :lol:
LOL, in all fairness.....the last words he heard before his day was ruined was me saying, "You are going to shoot yourself in the hand if you keep doing that!" The last words he said were, "No, I am not!". He was wrong.
was he press safetying a 1911? :???:
