Well i was at home lastnight so naturally i decided i would take some dryfire practice with my 226. my border collie is always very curious when the guns are out. so she was sitting right there while i was practicing. so i practice for awhile. and hear everyone arrive for dinner. so i rack the slide to eject the snap cap. now usually my snap cap just kind of floats up and i can catch it. well for some reason must have been the angle but that thing ejected like a bat out of hell and hit poor little tracy square between the eyes, herd a little thump and she wimpered. that probably stung her pretty bad. so i gave her a treat because i felt bad. hope it doesn't scare her away from my guns.
