    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    LOL You guys are way funny and cool!!! I do plan to reply to a few of your posts since I was last here. I'm in the process of moving and am busier than a one armed blonde paper hanger. hahaha (Isn't that the way it goes?) I've had a lot of fun reading your posts and the more I read the more...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    PS..I really really really did learn a lot and the biggest thing I learned was how much I STILL need to learn. I think this is a wonderful forum and again just want to thank everyone who so graciously responded to my initial post, which was intended to be helpful. I'm looking forward to knowing...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Hi Adam! The gun you have pictured is exactly like the .38 I own that I had to have de-cocked, with the exception that it has pink grips on it currently. I've been googling decocking guns since beginning this thread and have found articles stating that "decocking a loaded SA gun is one of the...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Gosh! Are there some statistics on this? That's interesting. I would rather have a sawed- off shotgun. I do have a Daisy Ryder BB gun that you pump. But you can't even shoot one of those in the city limits where I live. I am with you on the women with guns. And I think it's great that they have...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Raskol...I don't think that Tuner actually meant to drop your gun. I think he was just making a point that it is more difficult than one thinks....etc. I would never drop my gun on purpose. I won't even dry fire it. LOL

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    I guess it's a good thing I didn't hit it then isn't it. Even if I had shot it I doubt that anyone would have cared unless I had taken it to a taxidermist to have stuffed. LOL But I did manage to scare it that day. For some reason this reminds me of a story I heard just yesterday. A waitress...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Johnny....I was on my ranch back in Texas when this occurred. I was a licensed wild animal rehabilitator there and this was a little squirrel I had raised and released behind the house. It took up residence in a hole way up on the trunk of an old oak tree just a few feet from the back porch. I...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    That was really great, Tuner. Until you posted that I really didn't have a clear understanding of how the safety feature worked. That was a very good and easy to follow explanation. Thanks!!! I really do know I've learned a lot of things from this and still I am a firm believer that no...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    BC....I'm going to join a gun club. A lot of my friends who were never raised around guns are joining gun clubs now so they can get a gun and learn how to use it. It just amazes me how afraid people are of guns here. But then I know how important it is to use precaution. Just reading all the...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    LOL Thanks Tuner! What would I do without you? ;) D~oh!!!! Okay...mine is definitely not an SA then. hahaha I haven't had one of those since I had my first real gun: a .22 pistol my grandpa gave me when I was just a kid. I loved that little gun. I honestly don't recall ever having a problem...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    NavyLt....salutes! :) Thanks for the pic and advise about safety. Back home I was in my kitchen one day and had the back door open when a red-tailed hawk swooped down to pick up my baby squirrel off the ground. I picked up my gun and shot it from inside the house. My ears rang for three days so...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Thanks RC! I have practiced this a few times today and it's really no big deal but it's nice to know about the extra safety systems. Still.....I don't plan on cocking it while loaded again. This isn't really my favorite gun I've ever owned. I'm waiting for my new pistol to come in and wishing...

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    LOL There are some advantages to being a woman. hahaha (It wasn't the middle of the night. I waited until around 2 PM the next day after I decided it was less embarassing to call them than one of my friends who would NEVER let me live it down. ;)

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Hey Johnny! Thanks very much for the cornered cat website link. A great site!! I guess we wimmen have a built in mechanism that makes us a lot like cornered cats when threatened. LOL Seriously....I can see it is a site worthy of spending some time on.

    Safely uncocking a loaded revolver

    Hey Tuner! :) I found this PDF on "legal issues" regarding safety in carrying, etc. firearms in Arizona. Honestly I don't know if it is a law or just a guideline but I agree wholeheartedly about the cops not always really knowing the law. I lived in a small town back in Texas and we had two...
