Did I do the "right thing?"

22 luvr, I think you over-reacted, but if you didnt feel comfortable with what was going on, then I can understand.

Don't worry about Wondernine. He has some rather unusual views about a few things. I got into a discussion with him in another thread where he pretty much said the temperature in the Dakotas and Florida is about the same. Now me, I always thought there was more snow in Fargo, than say Orlando, but maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

He also likes the COP 357 magnum derringer.

I'm always amused (although I guess by now I shouldn't be) when someone explains a scenario, asks others "what do you think, did I do the right thing?" and then becomes offended when someone says he didn't do the right thing.
Sounds to me like the clerk was an acommodating salesman just trying to sell you a quality pistola.

Let me 'splain something further......

No, I don't object to criticism; and yes, I'll admit that I probably over-reacted. My only objection is to Wondernine's abrasive and insulting answers.

I've learned from your replies; thanks for responding. That's why I frequent these forums - to grow in my knowledge of the shooting arts.

Best wishes............................

"Am I just overly-cautious"

YES!

Way over cautious.
How do you react at a gun range?

My thoughts exactly.

Those loaded magazines are evil!

Gun range? NNNooooooo problem!

I'm 57 years old and have shot anything and everything. Never had a problem at the gun range.

I've been shooting for 50 years.

I'm a Vietnam Vet (Danang '66)

My only mistake was starting this *!!*%$#@ thread in the first place!

Good grief! Never again!

I had exactly the same thing happen to me. I asked whether the CZ-75 (that I now own) had a 15 round mag. The guy behind the counter was not sure. He pulled out a box of ammo, and while I handled the gun, he loaded the mag on a table behind the counter (yep--15 rounds), unloaded it, and gave me the empty mag back.

I had no problem with it at all. He never gave me the loaded mag--so I didnt see any problems on his part.

here's my thought:

yes, to us it sounds like an overreaction. but always always ALWAYS trust your instincts. one should always work to make them better, yes, but trust them always. if you felt you should leave immediately, and maybe it was unnecessary, then that's opk, because trusting your instincts is the right thing to do.
