so why dint the slide lock back on an empty chamber?Hold muh beer?
hate to see people screwing around with firearms this way
This is a dumb way to handle a firearm.
We’ll see how long before he has to replace his extractor. Glock extractors are not meant to snap over a rim, but to have it slide up under the extractor as it is stripped from the magazine.
Well, THAT is just showing off....
Like fanning a revolver. Clint Eastwood style.
This wasn’t as impressive as I expected. The magazine was in the well, so the round would just fall in, sit on the top of the mag, and chamber like a round would. If the mag well was empty, that might be a bit more impressive, but I agree with the plurality of FReepers that this sort of “trick” is not demonstrable of appropriate firearm handling.
The next step is: “Who can do it the fastest?”
At which point, someone, most likely intoxicated, will accidentally shoot himself or a spectator.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes
What could possibly go wrong?
I’m gonna try this with my AK-47.
This is a dangerous stunt. Years ago after an IPSC stage guys would routinely would eject a live round and catch it in their hands before showing clear. It was a neat trick but one time someone messed up and the round was caught between the slide and the chamber. The edge of the closing slide hit the primer and set off the live round near the guy’s hand. He ended up in the emergency room.
