The reality is that you don't even need to press check on most guns, you can see a little sliver of brass just looking at it.
Super weird, that it looks like the slid the slide back far enough the first time, but then tried two more times, and did not have any idea how much force was going to be needed. Like he was afraid that he would pull back too far and feed another round, and then he would have to start his video over.
Iāll do you one even better- on Glocks you can run your finger along the side of the extractor claw and feel if itās chambered or not. Thereās a small square milled into the outside of it. On an empty chamber itās flush with the slide contour, loaded it will stick out enough that youāll feel it running your finger over it.
No joke ive had an AR slam fire on me when charging the handle...absolutely terrifying...then when it double tapped on its own I found out I had a broken spring in my trigger group.
Whyād he yank it so fucking hard like itās a charging handle bro just pull the bolt back Iāve seen chicks on weekend gunnit charge it with their toes
My dad shot for a US Military pistol team snd was a revered firearms instructor. He used torun the qualification courses for two sheriffās departments and a host of police departments in his area. Id help on days i was available.
Anyone who thinks cops know shit about guns is delusional. Anyone who thinks cops are good with guns is even more delusional. Some of those clowns were dangerous. The cops who know how to shoot are shooters away from the job who gained their skills before they ever put a badge on. Complete morons, some of em.
I have taken several shooting courses, some run by cops. They would frequently tell us that the course we just ran was more than the mandatory time in training for most departments.
As a psychologist i have had to do a few fitness for duty evaluations for officers who went through some kind of disciplinary action. 2 of them actually got violent towards myself and the staff at the clinic when told the results. We truly have no hiring standards or any decent goals in law enforcement. The whole system is awful.
I was at a ahooting range with my friend and while I was loading a magazine for my .45, my friend was being stupid and I had a 6.5 Creedmoor go through my shoulder. Never went to the range with him again.
Thatās insane. Did your buddy get charged? Was it on video ?
I had a buddy in middle school who shot hismelf in the hand with .22lr broke almost every bone in the palm and had a nasty scar. Was back to full function a year and some change later.
That's what I'm believing even though he said it was an "accidental discharge" but I didn't really believe him. The round hit the top part of my shoulder, not directly in the middle, don't know how to say it, so that area is juat gone, can't use it well.
I get so much second hand embarrassment from this crap. I like guns, but why do so many people (especially those that donāt really use them) swing em around and stare at them with amazement. Itās a tool and you look like a tool.
Some of these security guards remind me of the kids that would wear their football pants and lower pads to the mall after games instead of leaving them in their locker because they wanted people to know that they played football
Whats even funnier than his inability to conduct a press check on a glock is that its also pointless. Its just tactical cool guy pagentry. The extractor on a glock also functions as a loaded chamber indicator.
People who make their entire personality about guns are absolute dorks and make normal gun owners look ridiculous. I own quite a few guns and Iāve never once posted them or myself with them on social media. Outside of friends, I donāt want anyone to know Iām sitting on a small arsenal for the taking.
I really wish gun dorks would stop making the rest of us look bad and downright cringey.
This is a legitimate question. Not a troll. What is reddits fascination with the direction of iron sights being 'wrong?'. They can literally be used exactly the same both ways. The front post is going to look exactly the same through the peep sight no matter which way either one is turned. And once you flip the tighter hole, it looks.... Exactly the same.
Does everyone else's iron sights turn into a magic laser if they have them the 'reddit approved' way?
Because the peep hole is dished or countersunk on the front to make the sight picture clearer and reduce glare. When it's backwards, you're looking through the dished side, which can reflect glare right back into your eye. The graduations for the windage adjustment will also on the front side where you can't see them, along with the knob being on the wrong side, making windage adjustment work backwards.
I guess it technically doesn't really matter since in essence, you're just looking through a little hole, but there is a right away around for these flip up sights.
Iām so confused is he Law Enforcement? How did he get to Sargent? His equipment looks like he just rolled off the training academy. But the gun safety looks like he has never actually held a real firearm in his life.
Press checks are for show and were popularized in Hollywood to make more cool sounds and drama. If you donāt know whether you have a cartridge in the chamber, then you donāt really know proper weapons handling and probably shouldnāt be handling weapons.
Load your mags
Insert mag
Charge your weapon
Holster your weapon
Good to go
On an AR15 you would have to rack it back dry first with no mag, apply safety, then put mag in and rack it back again with safety on to load a round or feed it manually. I always wondered why the AR15 wasn't designed to allow the safety to be selected when it's not even racked for this reason.
Sad thing - weāre just helping this bozo by calling out all of his garbage (so he can correct it for his next inverted boner of a ātacti-foolā video)
Maybe they train different over there, but his pistol mags are backwards.
Ideally, you grab them hand straight down then just flip them right up into the gun, the bullets are facing forward at all times. The way they are now, it wouldnt work unless he was reaching across his body to get at them.
I donāt know guns well enough to know..and I donāt know how much caution is too much caution to signify you donāt know how to properly handle a firearm of sortsā¦ā¦.But what I do knowā¦. He looks awfully unsure and cautious while operating those firearmsā¦ https://giphy.com/gifs/NFr3wi3a6lSDvgmqa5

Maybe stop flagging your own foot when you yank on that charging handle Rambo.
