They are still out there and breeding

[Ed Ames]

As for airplanes, I'm finishing a career in them, retiring next month. If you build your own plane as two friends did--experimental category--nobody stops you from doing a preflight and taking off from a rural, grass strip. If you fly at least 500' from people, houses, and much further from airports and below Class B (formerly TCAs) etc airspace, nobody can stop you.

That implies they are just ignoring the laws. What I am talking about is following the laws. Anyone with $25k can buy a ready-to-fly plane and go flying tomorrow morning. Stick E to G airspace and you can legally fly without telling anyone. If you want to fly in D or C you need prior permission (a phone call). That means you can find what are technically rural airports (though some are near big cities) in the US that have paved runways, VASI, ASOS, etc. that are perfectly legal to operate from without a licence (and without any training, if you have a death wish)...if you stick to part 103 ultralights and follow some basic rules.

Iam sure I am missing something here, seems to have finger out of trigger guard? What
is the problem?

The mag is inserted backwards. I'm sure its not locked in. If there is a round in the chamber best that could happen is one round fires and the jammed-in mag falls out, worst is a horrible jam as the OP has described and ridiculed.

The rim, or the head behind the extractor groove is the same dis as the case body immediately ahead of the groove and will allow the rim to be jammed in far enough that needle nose pliers won't work it out.
As I said, third time, three different people, three different pistols. Next time, and there will be one, I'll post a picture.

Ah. Thank you. I'm not going to try to duplicate.

Just remember, half the people you meet in life are below average.

Yeah, but they are above me

I thought it was he is missing a tactical beard ?
yes the mag is backwards , reminds me of a guy in a training exercise that loaded his mag with the bullets backwards did not know this could be done but he did it !
The company commander made an example out of him he never did that again ,

After several interactions with some of my customers this week I was once again confirmed in my belief that civilization will end from incompetence. This thread helps to confirm my belief.
