Not a single "anal" thing about it. I know it is what I was taught in the Military and it wouldn't surprise me if it is common elsewhere.particle wrote:I've found that there is usually a clear view down the barrel on my (small collection) of pistols when the slide is locked back. I never dry fire, disassemble, or consider a gun 'safe' until I've opened the slide, checked for a round in the chamber, then checked again by locking the slide all the way back and looking through the tiny cracks/crevices on the back of the slide until I get a clear view all the way down the barrel to a light on the ceiling. Anal, I know, but at least I know 100% the gun is empty.
