get the good brass & red snap caps w/ the primer spring-loaded for ALL your calibers. use them ALL the time. forces you to remove your live ammo before you can insert them. ND AD how about afore-knowledged mechanicel discharge...knowing that CZ 52's can AND do because of wear & design, sometimes (2 times in 1500 rounds) actually fire when you use the decocker. no one at the range was even aware of it. ps. i never load this gun untill i am about to fire it!
 
BTDT. A lesson you will NEVER forget. Thank God nobody was hurt.

Thanks for your courage in sharing this. We are all always one second from a ND when we handle firearms. Lesson: NEVER get casual with guns!

(For the record, if I listed my biggest mistakes here, you'd think I was the biggest jerk alive.)
 
One time (one time only) I laid my 700 on the ground not realizing the safety was off. A weed stubble fired the gun; the round dug a furrow about 10-12 inches long right next to my foot. This round was a 110gr VMax and I am surprised it didn't blow up as soon as it contacted the ground. All I can figure is that it must have been skimming the ground and the point didn't hit anything substantial enough to cause the bullet to disintegrate. I have always been diligent about checking the position of the safety on any firearm I am using and am even more so now. Got lucky
 
Glad no one's hurt.

It's great when people fess' up and post these when they happen. It reminds all of us about the basic rules of gun handling and that's a Good Thing. You can never be reminded enough.
 
Glock22, I am glad you are ok, a lesson has been learned, the damage can be fixed. It could have been worse, but fortunately it wasn't.

The rest is regarding the post by Aim Small Miss Small:

The excessive content of your post is entirely unnecessary. I understand what you are trying to tell Glock22 but there are ways of doing it without sounding so pompous and arrogant. The insults are totally uncalled-for. Glock22 understands that he messed up. He doesn't need to read some self-righteous post attempting to psychoanalyze his writing style and mindset and tell him how he did everything wrong. He made a mistake, a big one. He learned something from it. That's it.
 
this makes me feel better about my habit of pumping the gun 3 times to see if it's empty. once shows if it was loaded, twice shows if you just loaded and maybe reloaded it, and three times means geez how much ammo did you put in this thing.
