Pull the trigger while pointing it at your foot.
That’s for Glock.

[Note: I love Glocks, but they are not for morons.]
Liberals should look down the barrel while performing this test.
In the mid 70’s I did a tour of duty as base police at NAS Moffett Field near Mountain View California. We carried M1911A1s and checked them in at the end our our shift. To clear the weapon we’d lock the slide open, check the chamber then look down the magazine well to make sure the magazine was out. You’d then release the slide and pull the trigger to uncock the hammer.
Our female patrolmen had trouble locking the slide back so they shortened the procedure. They’d lock their forearm and pull the slide back so they could look in just enough to make sure there was no round in the chamber. They’d then let the slide go, and pull the trigger.
I’m sure many familiar with semi-auto pistols can see where this is going.
Debbie forgot to remove the magazine. After she let the slide go, pulling the trigger was followed by the expected discharge.
The round went between the 2nd and 3rd metatarsal. It didn’t penetrate the sole of her shoe but did leave an indentation in the sole and floor.
Her fellow patrolmen had the shoe bronzed and gave her a certificate stating that she had qualified with the .45 pistol by one foot.
LOL
Incorrect. Look down the muzzle to see if you can see a round in the barrel. If you don't see one, pull the trigger, you're probably safe.
