Request: I'm looking for a good image of a revolver that highlights/names the main components (trigger, hammer, cylinder release, cylinder, ejector rod, sights, barrell). I don't need a schematic showing the internal workings (how the trigger affects the hammer, the hammer hitting the firing pin, etc.).
Detail:
I have a standing offer with my friends that if they would like to go the range, I'd teach them basic gun safety and how to shoot. Once it's discussed, I leave it up to them to ask me to go to the range. More and more, people are taking me up on the offer. They pay to get themselves in; I bring a Smith & Wesson Model 19 revolver, ammo and targets.
Before going, I give them the 4 Rules (from: http://www.thefiringline.com/Misc/safetyrules.html) and tell them that they have to memorize the rules before we go. I test them in the car on the way to the range. We then discuss the range rules at the range.
I then go over the basic components of the revolver, how to safely operate it, how to stand, and how to aim. I set the targets maybe 10 feet away. My wife usually shoots first (that helps them feel comfortable and that they'll be able to do it).
They hit the targets, have a blast and realize that guns aren't evil.
I'm pulling together a basic primer on the revolver to give them when I give them the 4 Rules. That way, they have at least seen the basic components before we start discussing them at the range. What I've been doing has worked fine for now but I would like to give them a little more information before hand. Thus, the request for the image.
Thanks in advance.
