Frequently Asked Questions

What are the essential firearm safety checks for revolvers?

For revolvers, safety checks involve opening the cylinder. Double-action revolvers have swing-out cylinders for visual inspection, while single-action revolvers require opening the loading gate and placing the hammer in the 'half-cock' position to rotate the cylinder for inspection.

How do you safely check a semi-automatic pistol like a Glock?

To safely check a semi-automatic pistol, keep your finger off the trigger, remove the magazine, and lock the slide back. Visually inspect the chamber to confirm it is empty. This procedure ensures the firearm is unloaded.

What is 'handgun etiquette' in firearm safety?

'Handgun etiquette' is the professional practice of checking a firearm's status every single time it is passed between people. This habit ensures the gun is always verified as empty, regardless of the situation or who is handling it.

What are the three non-negotiable gun safety rules?

The three non-negotiable gun safety rules are: 1. Keep your finger off the trigger. 2. Visually inspect that the gun is unloaded. 3. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction. These rules are fundamental to preventing accidents.
