I decided to check the tightness of the grip screw on my revolver. It felt a little high the last time I used it. I was all ready to tighten it and thought that this wasn't something I should be doing with a loaded gun. Even then it took awhile to convince myself to unload it. My thought process was: it's got a 12 pound spring in it can't go of accidently and I'm not about to pull the trigger on a loaded gun, after all I'm doing is tightening a screw.
I decided to unload it and checked it's condition several times to be sure. I also left the empty cylinder swung open before I tightened the screw. Point- chances are that it wouldn't have never gone off but I reduced those chances to zero by unloading it before attempting a minor repair.
Anyone else cut or think of cutting corners with safety?
