Behind the scenes at S&W

Jeff - The smartest part of a gun is always going to be the part between the ears of the person holding that gun.

If you're not a little upset with the way the world is going, you're not paying attention.
 
Heck, I've known that about Smith's since 1993. The Panhandle Regional Law Enforcement Academy used Smith and Wessons for firearms training.

I read it in a gun magazine at about that time, too.

"However, Perry found that if slight pressure is put on the trigger during removal, the gun can fire that round."

OK, and if I use a dead-blow hammer to test for push-off, it'll probably fail. So the question is, why would you do this?

"Perry found that if slightpressure is put on the trigger during removal, the gun can fire that round."

It appears that one has to manipulate the trigger to move to a position beyond which the mag safety (which I don't want on MY guns) blocks further motion. Duh. Keep your finger off the trigger.

The guy is more likely to have it discharge before the magazine leaves the grip.

A non story.

Jeff, this is a brief off-thread question:
what are the four rules of firearms safety?
I'm drawing a mental blank on #4 and it's driving me nuts, since I wanted to give them to my sister-in-law.

A gun is always loaded.
Never point a gun at an object you do not want to destroy.
Keep your finger off the trigger until you're ready to fire.
Uhhhhhhh?

Learned 'em a worded a little differently, but he missing one is:

Know your target and what's beyond.
 
Please let me get up on my bench a moment.
In our New World, no one will be responsible for their own actions
Better quit now.
