All weapons were inspected by the instructors on day 1. We were in a string on drawing and firing 2 sighted shots, but he shot his hand instead.texasag93 wrote: WITH AN UNLOADED 1911, in the cocked position, press your palm firmly at the front of the barrel and slide. Then try to pull the trigger. The hammer will not fall.
I think he meant "press checking"txinvestigator wrote:What is that?texasag93 wrote:
was he press safetying a 1911?
Yeah, I remember that. There were several others that was plain dangerous. I remember Candy had to give this one guy a blue gun because he was so dangerous. LOL. I just wish we didn't have to switch partners.jbirds1210 wrote: LOL, in all fairness.....the last words he heard before his day was ruined was me saying, "You are going to shoot yourself in the hand if you keep doing that!" The last words he said were, "No, I am not!". He was wrong.
I know who you're talking about.jbirds1210 wrote:I have seen Master shooters and people that have never handled a firearm attending the same class. I saw a gentleman that had his skill level confused and introduced the palm of his left hand to a 9mm hollow point...really really messy on a range covered with white rock. Some might call it artThis was not a CHL class.
I have made a promise to myself to remain a handgun student for the rest of my life and learn from all kinds of people if they have information to offer. There is usually more than one way to do everything!
I am fortunate enough to have an amazing CHL instructor that I trust...I realize that we do not all have that available. I just position myself at the end of a group so I can see what other people are doing and get out of the way if I see a muzzle.
