safety

I have been eyeing a Sig P320-Xten Comp, and I saw reviews stating that is particularly unsafe & can discharge on its own. Most reviews are older, but some are newer, with most stories being from cops. I really want a 10mm, and this pistol looks very pleasing overall. I'd assume it comes down to...

Two questions about two different guns. Both questions asked to me by different friends. 1. Is it safe to carry a new S&W Model 27 classic with a full cylinder? I've done so for years, just assuming it must have a passive safety built in, but I couldn't actually find information on S&W's...

Curious what y’all think. It just dawned on me that my climbing stand is 12 years old. I haven’t had any problems with it but am thinking of replacing it. In your opinion, what’s the lifespan for safe use?

I understand an accident can happen, but WTH??? I don't even know what an apple air tag is but the only thing that belongs in your trigger guard is your finger when you are firing the gun or maintenence, etc... Man Puts Keys Into Pocket w/ Unholstered Gun...Guess What Happened Next...

I've started to see this idea more and more. Using a heavy metal job site box for storing guns rather than an actual gun safe. A guy on Reddit is using one of these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-60-in-0-Drawer-Universal-Storage-Top-Chest-60R-OS/207058098 I can see the potential benefit...

I recently bought a surplus mosin that was caked in Cosmoline. I took it apart and removed all the Cosmoline and put it back together. However now when the safety is engaged I can still pull the trigger, it doesn’t fire/ do anything. And when the safety is off It fires like normal. I took it...

Hi I was looking at a friend’s Glock who has a siderlock safety installed. I couldn’t hold back and told him that how I did not like it at all. My reasoning was simple. Glock triggers are pretty safe to be carried loaded. Not only this contraption increases one more thing to remember in a...

So a while back, about 3 or 4 years back, I was doing some research on cap and ball, and gunsmiths. I remember I found a shop, they did a bunch of work on these things, I saw a thing talking about installing a transfer bar. Can you on one of these things? Like I edc this, and it sorta be...

So I couldn’t seem to find anything else on this problem so I don’t know if it is specific to this one gun or if there are more like it. ok so not my gun but a friends RIA 1911 has an odd malfunction (I call it a malfunction because it makes the gun less safe in my opinion) where if the gun is...

Many of us have grown up around guns all our lives. My Grandfather, a Salt Lake City Sheriff from 1929 to 1941 when he reenlisted in the Army, wore a cocked and locked .45 ACP Colt 1911 to the dinner table and had many pearls of wisdom about guns and shooting. One piece of advice from him was...

Hi, I have installed a Browning factory ambi safety on a BHP clone. The safety engages as it should, with a nice positive action. However, now the hammer will not drop at all. What have I missed, what do I need to do? Thanks in advance! Wes

I cannot believe it and I cannot applaud this enough, I sure hope it gains traction in more states: Minnesota Republican Pushing Gun Safety, Hunting for Physical Ed. Courses: https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/03/28/gun-safety-physical-education/

Hi İ want to introduce you a new safety machanism.İ know there are a lot of safetys on the market and they do there job well. My invention is simple,easy to learn and use,very good located,no risk of malfunction because of simplicity.... Well,after watching the video,iwill be glad to hear your...

While practicing dry firing (Super Redhawk 7.5"), I've gotten in the habit of tucking my trigger finger behind the trigger between shots instead of extending it above or on the outside of the trigger guard. I imagine it would look weird if I were to do this at the range, especially for people...

We manufacture all types of firearm and bow displays and are curious what people's preferences are when storing their guns. Vaults, vault rooms, cabinets, or storage with more accessibility? Here is an example of a slatwall rail system we make. Does anyone use a similar system?

I cant be the only one to have a sane mind and just not speak out on the issue at hand. I watch alot of how to videos and also alot a gun videos on new guns as well. There are some highly respected review people out their an they do this unsafe practice as well. THEY TAKE A BULLET AND USE IT AS...

I recently started working as an armed guard. Since the handgun I use is considered for defensive use only the company I work for will let me use any gun I choose. Right now I carry a CZ75 B because It's what I have but conventional wisdom seems to be that safeties should be avoided on duty...

Imagine this scenario: You are asleep in your bed at O'Dark-30 when you hear a bump in the night. You are pretty sure it's a cat or a raccoon (otherwise you would call the police). As you grab your cocked and locked 1911 pistol and head out to investigate ... Is the thumb safety ON or OFF...

I recently got a Win Model 70 and have a problem with the bolt. The safety lever is stuck in the fire position even though bolt has been cocked. I remove the bolt from the action, press the retaining pin and twist the rear or the bolt. As soon as the bolt reaches a groove, the firing pin...

We live in a rural neighborhood in Central Virginia, everyone basically has 10 acres. Our new back neighbor has just put in a shooting range. Their acreage is pretty long and narrow with the cleared area of it beginning around 100 feet from and extending out to about 200 yards from our house...
