Frequently Asked Questions

What caused Colion Noir's pistol handling issue in the video?

Colion Noir experienced a delay during his draw due to fumbling with the pistol's frame-mounted safety. He later encountered a problem re-holstering, seemingly related to a chambered round or slide issue, resulting in a 'blooper' moment.

What is a frame-mounted safety and why might it cause issues?

What should you do if your pistol won't re-holster easily?

If your pistol struggles to re-holster, do not force it. Safely remove it, visually and physically inspect the chamber to ensure it's clear, cycle the slide to clear any obstructions, and then re-holster.

What is the main takeaway from Colion Noir's range blooper?
