That would have made my Hemi peel out. (reference to Larry the Cable guys "morning Constitution") In other words I would have left 2 skid marks.

OUCH :shock: :shock: and a .40 did all that damage :shock: Not to sound like an ass but if that did that to a hand I fell sorry for any BG that gets hit with one. I doubt anyone seeing this will be calling it .40 Small and Weak this will hopefully burn it into peoples heads to check and check and if you don't feel right check it again. I now am happy I have my Sigma because to break it down I have to pull the trigger and even if I know 100% its empty I still check it again before I pull that trigger because I don't want anything like that to happen to me.

Sadly enough, it seem like about every couple of months a pic like this will make the rounds on the gun boards.
You guys that are new to shooting, you can never check the weapon enough to make sure it is empty before putting it up, transporting it, passing it to someone else, or taking it apart for cleaning.
Ive said it before, I ALWAYS check 3 times. That is my lucky number.
Anal I guess, but I will go out of this world in a different way than shooting myself by accident.

stupid question but...it hit me when i saw the little flash video of the hi-point operation and came to mind just now.
since the firing pin helps to eject rounds from the chamber in the hi-points, what happens if you work the action to quickly when checking, double checking to make sure the firearm is empty?

The sear is under spring pressure which forces it upwards, as soon as the slide is past a certain point traveling back, it becomes latched into place on the firing pin's sear notch. Upon its return into battery, the recoil spring's force is paramount in in compressing the firing pin spring as the slide returns. The firing pin is held in its armed position until the trigger is depressed, which lowers the sear, which "lets go" of the firing pin (that was under pressure by the firing pin spring) and discharges the cartridge. It's repeated with every shot (except if you're out of ammo without a LRHO) |

Jeebus!!! :shock:
Now that I have a C9 I check to see if it is clear every time I pick it. Mainly from pictures like this on the web, and remembering my NRA training from along time ago.

iddnt phase me, then again last friday night a guy got his Tibia? shoved through his ankle and out the side of his boot.
That was friggin gruesome, plus he was shocky and trying to walk on it and we had to stop hin and make him lay down.
He was complaining that it happened right before a three day weekend.

It's repeated with every shot (except if you're out of ammo without a LRHO) Forgive ignorance, but um, that doesn't seem to answer my question. I'm asking what happens if you try to eject an unfired round from the chamber? i.e. you drop the mag and work the action to get the live round from the chamber. Will the firing pin acting like an ejector make the round want to fire if you do it too quick? Or is a safety device built in to stop this from happening? |

On my HP .40 S&W, I have worked several mags through the gun itself to test function, and I have never seen any marks on the primers when I was done. I have always worked the action crisply, pulling back and letting the slide go. I have never heard of a HP sparking off a round while working rounds through the gun. However, it's best to use snap caps to test function if you aren't comfortable with doing this.
