Respect The Weapon, learn how to handle it properly.
How do you tell someone you don’t know how to handle a revolver without saying anything?
You snap the cylinder shut with a flick of your hand.
This is just so bad for the weapon. You want to support the crane. Using the weight of the cylinder to close it will eventually ruin the weapon. How badly it fails when it is stressed too much is a roll of the dice. Do you want to lose a finger because you didn’t handle your revolver with respect and care?
Why do I show these videos? Because I like to go to the range and every one of these videos gives the non shooting public a bad impression of the total shooting community.
Always follow the four basic rules of Gun Safety:
- Always keep firearms pointed in a safe direction.
- Treat all guns as though they are loaded.
- Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
- Always be sure of your target and what’s beyond it.
