You showed your ignorance with those bloviated post of yours.

Have a nice................screw it............go to hell.

Show some maturity, friend.

If you wish to continue this in this manner, take it to the PM.

Otherwise, it's a draw.

No, in the interest of maturity, I'll just say this:

You won. You're right. I am overwhelmed with your command of the English language and your extensive education and experience with the physics of weapons every where and you have an intimate knowledge of the physiology of the human body.

Okay?

Have a nice day.

What I find dicey is folks will get a new (or one just back from some gunsmithing) semi auto and put a full mag in it, drop the slide and start shooting.

I prefer 1 shot, and check for lockback. Then 2 rounds in the mag and check that it doesn’t double or go full auto.

Only then will I use a full mag. The sears and disconnectors do break, get out of spec, installed wrong, etc, and you can never call back a round fired unintentionally.

Another tragic story was a guy shooting a 1911 pattern pistol with a fresh “trigger job”. It went full auto as he dropped the slide, and he shot several fingers off his left hand. I can’t figure how he got his left hand in front of the barrel, but he did.

Watch out! There are those out there with a superior grasp of physics (I'm assuming both classical and quantum.) and the human physiology who will attack such statements as the above.
