Press Checks - Good/Bad?
This video discusses the debated practice of 'press checks' in firearms handling. While some consider it an amateur move, the instructor acknowledges its utility for confirming chamber status, especially when losing track of the firearm's condition. The emphasis is placed on performing press checks safely, avoiding common mistakes like flagging oneself or pointing the muzzle into one's hand. The instructor personally doesn't teach them but doesn't discourage them if done correctly.
