...or a hammer extension that projects off to the side.
Mount a piece of the glass over the fireplace or gun bench as a reminder.
why do this? No good reason I can think of. if you want the striker forward, clear the gun 2x, point in safe direction, dry fire, THEN insert an empty mag.I shoot all my magazines dry when I go and leave them in the bottom of my bag. When I get home, I generally give the gun a wipe down/cleaning, load an empty mag into the gun, drop the slide, point the gun in a safe direction, and dry fire it..
I just need to get that thing which attaches to the hammer and I'll be good.I know you don't want 4" tall rings but.... Would taller rings help?
No problems there. I'm single. I guess sometimes that's a good thing! heheAlong with everyone else here, glad you are OK but the real question.... What did you tell your spouse?
My wife passed away about a month ago, I haven't touched one of my guns since. I don't trust myself right now to even handle a loaded gun. My mind is else where right now.
I'm sure you aren't actually a danger to yourself, even if you had a loaded gun on the table in front of you. I'm really sorry for your loss. Remember that she loved you for many things, and that strength was likely one of them. Be well.
Generally you just open the lever and put the rifle on the bench. The open lever ejects the round from the chamber and leaves it empty and open for inspection.I know this is a bit of an off topic, but are the newer Winchesters in the same boat in this case? I was thinking about getting an 1873, but was wondering how I would handle a "cease fire" call at the gun range and I had just loaded up the tube. :-/

Then they will wait while you work the lever,Unfortunately, the range I'd be going to expect it to be completely unloaded.
