The Dad bod is how I used to check/rack on my m9 as open slides pinched my middle finger when I first bought it. Open slides were a pain to learn how to use.
I hate when people quote the golden safety rules like this. First of all, it's one thing to assume a gun has a bullet in the chamber and yet another to KNOW there's a bullet in the chamber. Plus those rules aren't nearly as hard as some people make out. "Always assume the gun is loaded?" "Never point your gun at anything you don't want to destroy?" How are you going to do dry fire exercises then? Sure even when you do dry fire you shouldn't be pointing the gun at someone or yourself or like out the window. But you treat that UNLOADED gun differently than you do a loaded one. The efficacy of dry fire alone is an example of not fully following the RULES and I could list others. Cleaning a gun for instance. Obviously you still don't point the things at your wife or your head. But a gun that you've fully checked isn't loaded? Your hand may be in front of the barrel when youre cleaning it. Speaking of dry fire... Another reason to press check.
Sometimes it's both. I moved to the US from Canada at 23 and bought a g43x immediately and I was afraid of it for like 3 months. First couple days I carried it around completely unloaded with no bullets even near it just to feel it out lmfao. First time I racked a round into the chamber outside of the range was a month later when I was meeting with a dude off Facebook Marketplace and even with a belt and a good holster I thought I was gonna lean over wrong and shoot my dick off. I obviously carry normally now and have never felt safer in public. Maybe I'd feel safer if I carried an SBR under a poncho everywhere I went tho 🤔
I mean former Leo doesn't mean "well trained with firearm" so that doesn't surprise me. Statistically Leo miss like 70% of their shots. If you get your feelings hurt and resort to insults over real fact based statistics, may want to face those insecurities.
@Gophacyerself What exactly would my service or lack there of have to do with the fact based statics I quoted? I guess I hurt your feelings. Those are real numbers pulled from all over this country. 70% is crazy. Do you guys just close your eyes and shoot?
@@mattmarzula well maybe if you saw someone ever hurt themselves with a gun , confidence included. You’d have reality on your shoulder making you nervous about the possibility. At the same time it takes safety and responsibility like anything else so I could see why some feel confident and some are aware they could easily hurt themselves even with confidence.
Know your gun's status, and then check it anyways. Even if I just cleared it a few minutes ago and put it down, I'll clear it again as soon as I pick it up. Same thing with press checks. Create multiple layers of safety and ensure you never get complacent and you wont have an accident.
It's part of checking that the gun is clear every time you pick it up. It takes an extra half second and helps ensure that the fact that it's loaded never slips your mind, causing you to have a negligent discharge. Many people have been failed by their memory of supposedly unloading their gun.

I dont fear any of my guns. Like any other tool, they dont do anything without my input. If i hurt myself or anyone else with it unintentionally its my own negligence not the guns fault.
Why fear something YOU have complete control over. If you fear your Pistol, its because you dont trust yourself, in which case you shouldnt have a weapon anyway.
Canadian here. I remember getting my RPAL license that lets me finally purchase and transport handguns. I went I Cabelas, thinking that’d be the best most neutral place. I asked to take a closer a look at the glock 17 under the glass. I handed my license over, he handed me the pistol, and I was absolutely surprised how stiff the slide was. I sat there awkwardly struggling with it for a minute, jsut REALLY not interested in going all out and breaking something. It was fucking embarrassing if I’m being honest lol I was handed a Beretta 92 after and was surprised how easy the slide was to work. But at that time being still so new to gun store etiquette and a strong desire to not be “that guy”, I still handled it like a nervous idiot. When I purchased my first handgun, a Canik TP9SFx, I was then surprised again how oddly stiff the slide was. I took the next bunch of minutes to work out the operation nerves and get really comfortable with it, including breaking it down and cleaning it. I don’t think I could ever “John wick” this slide though. I’d have to change the spring to something less stiff.
👍🏼🤟🏼 Appreciate your sharing your experience, which should be very relatable to many people, actually. Not everyone grew up with or had access to firearms so early on, and so, many of us, at all different ages, have had to start from knowing nothing and venture out to learn on our own/alone. 🎯👍🏼💪🏼
Many slides are quite still when you first get the firearm. Unless it's used and broken in. Just work the slide a bunch or hit the range and put a few hundred rounds through it. Upwards of 500 depending on how easily it breaks in. You can also check other parts when you strip it. Everything the slide rides on, check for burrs or anything else. You can polish some stuff and that usually makes it slide more smoothly but you have to be careful to not take off too much material. Honestly just see it as a workout and keep racking the slide a few hundred times. It'll smooth out.
It's almost like I shoot my guns at the range enough to be confident they load like they are designed to do so and can feel the difference if they didn't.
Fear rooted in understanding the dangers of negligence and complacency is a good thing. Better to be afraid and cautious than to be fearless and reckless.
right its not like there is a part of the gun specifically made to indicate that there is a round in the chamber. i mean if im not mistaken all newer model guns have it. and you can see it in the video
Owning a firearm is a life or death responsibility. If you need to do press checks, it shows complete incompetence and perhaps they should consider carrying pepper spray and a stun gun. You don't wanna spend the rest of your life press checking.
Who do you live with that you need to check every day if they messed with your gun? If they're going to do something while you're sleeping don't you think they would just steal it, or blast you in your sleep and steal it?
Better to check and be sure than pull the trigger and go "click". I press check almost every single time I leave the house. Just incase I was practicing draw and dry fire but forgot to rechamber for various reasons.
I don't know bout you guys, but my pistol has a fancy little hole to brass-check the chamber, meaning I don't even have to fool with the slide to make sure it's loaded.
Was going to make the same comment. Some of them also come with little flags that raise up so you can Just feel and you know it's loaded. Then again treat them all like they're loaded. You don't need to be a fool and pull the chamber open never understood this.
I'm in the James Yeager camp on this one... The gun is loaded at ALL times, period. Unless I need to check the weapon prior to servicing/cleaning, press checks are a waste of time.
Press checks aren't for checking if the gun is clear, It is to make sure your first round is properly chambered before a mission etc. and the gun WILL go boom.
@@wildbill6976 The key word there is properly. You only do it once generally, then the gun goes in the holster and is ready to go. I don't even really bother with my personal guns I'm confident in them functioning properly. But it is a bit different when you are issued a beater service pistol or just a weapons system that's new to you and don't have that level of trust, and your are specifically about to go into harm's way.
There's a time and place to do it, like most things, but it's been WAY overblown the last few years and people do it for no reason other than to do it. You're absolutely right. This trend irritates the hell out of me.
@@justinpeck3667 Yeah. Never and nowhere. If you're so uncomfortable and unknowledgeable of your weapon's status that you have to check it with a press check, then you're simply not a professional.
@@mattmarzula professionals press check. Professionals tend to realize the moment you think you know exactly what your doing is around the same moment you make a mistake.
I don’t press check. I rack my round in once, and I have full trust and confidence that it’s still there and it’s going to perform when I need it too. Also, I don’t play with it after that either. Once it’s loaded, it stays that way until I specifically unload it for the range or another reason.
I trust that a firearm will not unload itself, but I don't trust my safety to other people. If other people may possibly have had access to my firearm, then I'd check that it's loaded upon taking control of it again. So if I've been sleeping or I left a gun where it's possible someone could have unloaded (or loaded) it, I'll check it when I pick it up. It's a habit that could someday prevent me from carrying an unloaded gun. Or loaded gun I don't want loaded. But that is just upon taking possession of the gun. If it's been on my hip all day, I trust the round didn't fall out of the chamber. I might check the gun when I begin carrying it for the day, that's all.
@@TacticalKangaroo1776 respectfully I would disagree. What you describe is clearing a firearm. That include removing the magazine, locking the slide back and inspecting the empty chamber.
@@TheDarkTower-iz7uq I go to the range every week or every other week. I’ve also taken multiple handgun and rifle classes. I’ve seen people with a shit load of training and experience say they don’t press check and I’ve seen it on the other side too. Don’t assume anything about someone you don’t know.
@@TheDarkTower-iz7uq It's okay, we understand that it can be difficult to know the status of your weapon at all times. If treating your CCW like a fidget toy makes you feel better, go for it! Carrying a pistol is supposed to be comforting, not comfortable 😊
Not all pistols indicate a loaded chamber. Sometimes the “loaded chamber indicator” is actually signaling the gun is in battery- like Springfield XD and several others.
As an "old guy" I'd like to point out, nobody did a presscheck until Stephen Segal did it in one of his crappy movies in n the 80's or early 90's. I carried professionally for 22 years ( 80' era Army drill sgt+ jail transport officer)never done one. Never will. Load it,engage the safety if you've got one, don't mess with it.
Steven Segal is not just a key figure on the pseudo firearms expert scene, but also on the pseudo martial arts scene ! He's known as a running joke to everyone with full contact experience.
@@jaydenlinn1846 In the situation you just described, you wouldn't do a press check. Instead, you would release the mag and rack the chamber. If it had a round, it would eject and the slide would lock. If it didn't have a round. The slide would lock. In both situations, you have now just ensured your weapon is fully unloaded and 100% safe to use in an effective and professional manner. Because you have unloaded the mag, you don't have to worry about a round getting loaded. Because the slide is locked, you don't have to worry about a round being fired if the trigger is pulled (or even being loaded for that matter). The only time I would ever consider a press check is if I am in a situation where I need a round loaded and was in a state of mind that left me uncertain, or if I just grabbed someone else's weapon and have no clue of its status.
@@OneLeggedTarantula and? cool comment. you must not double check things at all in your life if this is a big enough issue for you to comment. oh well youre a loot drop for worrying about how others make sure they have a loaded weapon.....
Don't rely on them. Some are activated by racking the slide like an HK(shows red) even on an empty gun. Some are tactical like the glock which is pushed out by the extractor against the round.
A 1911 extractor doesn't stick out the side of the slide. My left hand thumb goes in the front of the trigger, and first finger goes on the recoil spring plunger to press check. The same with my Glock 34.
Why would you take a tool out of your toolbag so to speak? I have a manual of arms AND I enjoy tactical training, and training in general. Still press check from time to time. Better safe than sorry. Some people make me 😂
@@SouthJerzyDude Because this "tool" simply isn't necessary, unless you are not certain a round has been chambered. If you are fighting for your life, you are just wasting your time press checking constantly. All you have to do is just shoot at the enemy. That or even the target at the range. That's it. If it doesn't go bang, you rack again, correctly this time, and shoot again. Either way, no actual press checks are necessary. The fact that I even have to explain this. And on top of that, you are risking dropping your gun with a one hand press check instead of two.
@@TCraig00 Apparently John Wick is, and anybody else who thinks that's what happens in real life. That's my point, it doesn't. Most firearms aren't even designed with press checking in mind. Look at the M4 or even the AK. You shoot at the enemy. It will either shoot or it won't. That's the press check.
@@adabsurdum5905 I know YOU get it. But IF you do a press check, when should it be done? When you strap-on your gun, right? So for those doing it for Tacticool, are they using a mirror to turn themselves on? I don't recall the source, but someone cited that something like >75% of all armed workers... from security to cops... didn't do a press check every day. That's both disturbing, but in the context of using their Chambered Round Indicator, if they're doing that.. I consider that even more safe. Every time you do a press check and manipulate the slide, you're risking it not fully seating, having some foreign object get stuck in it... there are actual risks associated with manipulating "a machine" outside of it's normal operation cycle. Sorry got so long, but you made me think of explaining it even further in ways some may have never considered... carry on and stay safe!
Looking for this comment. Carry for years and never have to do a press check. It’s loaded when it’s loaded. And it isn’t when I remove the round. I’m amazed that so many shooters out there press check on the regular. Maybe I get the range but any other time, wtf
Aside from when I am cleaning my guns or at the range and not currently shooting a specific gun, I cannot think of a single instance my gun would not have a round chambered and a round chambered pistol is cocked by default so I don't see the purpose of a press check to see if it is cocked either. And when I am at the range or cleaning guns, the ones currently not in use will have the slide locked open for safety purposes, so no press check needed there either. Outside of cleaning and range shooting, all of my guns are either on my person or in a gun safe 100% of the time so a round chambered all the time is perfectly safe. I guess if I was at the range and I was allowing a friend to shoot one of my guns I could check the loaded pistol indicator but they are like me, either reload and chamber the gun or (preferable for safety), lock the slide open.
@@danielflipsvegas1949 so youve never locked your door then checked its locked? because if you have ever done that that means youre an idiot and are afraid of your door, by your logic btw.. youre a shitstain in the community ya fucking loot drop. :)
Damn I'm just learning I'm the mom who carries lol. It started because my first gun was a Taurus that was hard to rack and now I'm just used to it that way.
I alternate between "The Mom who carries" and the "Dad Bod" myself, it depends on which gun I am carrying. However I do the 3 checks like the "Tactical range officer" in all cases, sometimes just two checks but usually three and rapidly. When using my Beretta 92FS I almost exclusively do the "Tactical range officer," though I am most proficient with it over all as it is my favorite. It's a bit heavy for a carry though and I wouldn't use it for that. When using my Ruger SR9 I tend to do "The Mom who carries" or rather some hybrid of that with a partial slide grip because it has really stiff springs. On my Sub-compact FN 503 I tend to do "The Dad Bod" because it has really soft springs and the rear of the gun is really short. This is hilariously complicated to think about actually.
@Jack Memphis I'll tell you one thing, though. I bought that gun in the discount section. Then, when I resold it at a different store, I got like 80-100$ more. It's one of the few examples of that happening I have in my life. I may have been a poor mom, but I came up that day. I've always wondered if that is a common thing you can do or if I just got lucky.
@Spartan945 as someone who's not super proficient with guns the tactical range officer one seemed new to me. What's the benefit of don't it that way. From my untrained perspective it seems awkward and like your thing it your way to not get a good grip on the gun. It was also so fast in not even sure I saw if the gun was clear.
The only ones that are reliably are the windows that actually let you see the round. My S&W has a window, but the new models have like a red thing that protrudes front the slide, which can malfunction.
Pistols like Springfield and Smith and Wesson have indicators so you know you have brass or not. S&W has a peep hole and the Springfields have a metal thing that pushes out. Its great if its dark and you dont want to make noise bc you can feel it with your finger if there is a round chambered.
@@ryanbrooks7412 If enough of us comment, half the people watching will realize EVERY one of those guns has a Chambered Round Indicator you can feel without even looking at the gun.
haha yeah bro it's so much easier straining your eyes looking for a tiny pinhole sized glint of brass, why would anyone ever do it differently lol @@TomRolfson
@@TheVudubob Who said anything about straining your eyes? You don't NEED to look, you can FEEL with 100% assurance whether there is a round chambered. Try it, you might like it.

With well over 1M rounds logged under my belt, with years of competition, coaching competitive shooters...

Man, when you figure this out and realize how silly your comment was... you're going to feel silly but learn something valuable. Go ahead, go to a gun store and go right down the line... ask if you can put a snapcap into each gun and feel the difference in that lever on the side. On A Glock the square tab at the front will stick-up, on a Sig the back end will stick-up with loaded, flush when not, same with a Springfield, HK, Canik... go right down the line, try them all. You'll be the guy teaching your friends. "I can tell if your gun is chambered without looking."
Been doing the John Wick overhand one since I worked in mail order gun sales. Easiest way to check the chamber while organizing paperwork with the other hand
In 25 years in law enforcement… never found the need to do this tacticool shit. Gun stays loaded and under my exclusive control or locked in a hardened container.

See that’s all yalls problems you too busy harassing us but cool with the felons. That’s why you release them and you also never focus on them cause you’re always fucking with us.
You check your chamber every time you leave the house? You must have people around you that you don’t trust. I would take that round out of the chamber and check to see if the OAL is still good to go and get familiar with your extractor and just check it that way
If you press check you'll never know if your weapon is in battery correctly until you try and use it. Probably should just train with it til you can trust it
Hammerless, carbon black, smith and Wesson, snub nosed, .38 special. 2 of them. One appendix. And a backup in the ankle holster. 2 speedloaders on my belt. Most reliable edc setup you could hope for
Carried a gun for 20+ years in both military, law enforcement and “other” armed careers. Press checking has never been a thing or even taught. How do you carry a gun everyday and not be aware of what condition the gun is in?

Because guns aren’t invisible and a magazine doesn’t always feed a round properly. Do you look both ways when you cross a street or just 100% trust your peripheral vision?
Press checks are for amateurs. You should know what condition your weapon is in. If you're not sure what condition your firearm is in, rerack your slide. And know you will know.
Lol i just check my glocks trigger if its depressed like me then it won't fire, unlike me lol though i have a thumb pointing at myself, opposite of the ejection port when checking, but rarely need to check when 99% of the time they're loaded. Like the AR on safety means its charged or wouldnt be possible to have it on safety
Exactly. I’ve never understood the so called press check. Like are you just trying to feel cool or something? You don’t know if you’re firearm is loaded or unloaded
My carry pistol is always loaded but every time I put it on I check. Doesn't hurt and it's a nice piece of mind. Doesn't mean I'm not competent. Means I like reassurance. Never got why people like you knock the way people do things just because YOU don't do it.

Never quit being afraid of your gun.
I dont fear any of my guns. Like any other tool, they dont do anything without my input. If i hurt myself or anyone else with it unintentionally its my own negligence not the guns fault.
Or better stop being afraid of your gun but still respect it.
Why fear something YOU have complete control over. If you fear your Pistol, its because you dont trust yourself, in which case you shouldnt have a weapon anyway.

Canadian here.
I remember getting my RPAL license that lets me finally purchase and transport handguns.
I went I Cabelas, thinking that’d be the best most neutral place. I asked to take a closer a look at the glock 17 under the glass. I handed my license over, he handed me the pistol, and I was absolutely surprised how stiff the slide was. I sat there awkwardly struggling with it for a minute, jsut REALLY not interested in going all out and breaking something. It was fucking embarrassing if I’m being honest lol
I was handed a Beretta 92 after and was surprised how easy the slide was to work. But at that time being still so new to gun store etiquette and a strong desire to not be “that guy”, I still handled it like a nervous idiot.
When I purchased my first handgun, a Canik TP9SFx, I was then surprised again how oddly stiff the slide was. I took the next bunch of minutes to work out the operation nerves and get really comfortable with it, including breaking it down and cleaning it.
I don’t think I could ever “John wick” this slide though. I’d have to change the spring to something less stiff.
👍🏼🤟🏼 Appreciate your sharing your experience, which should be very relatable to many people, actually. Not everyone grew up with or had access to firearms so early on, and so, many of us, at all different ages, have had to start from knowing nothing and venture out to learn on our own/alone.
🎯👍🏼💪🏼
Many slides are quite still when you first get the firearm. Unless it's used and broken in. Just work the slide a bunch or hit the range and put a few hundred rounds through it. Upwards of 500 depending on how easily it breaks in. You can also check other parts when you strip it. Everything the slide rides on, check for burrs or anything else.
You can polish some stuff and that usually makes it slide more smoothly but you have to be careful to not take off too much material. Honestly just see it as a workout and keep racking the slide a few hundred times. It'll smooth out.
And then there's those of us who don't press check.
Amen brother
It's almost like I shoot my guns at the range enough to be confident they load like they are designed to do so and can feel the difference if they didn't.
@@SuicideVan considering I always rack one in before I leave the house, yep.

Fear rooted in understanding the dangers of negligence and complacency is a good thing. Better to be afraid and cautious than to be fearless and reckless.
Six years in the military and carrying for ten years since - I have never needed to press check my firearm.

Well, to start with, I ain't press checking in the first place except when I wake up to make sure nobody's messed with it.
You literally just said “I’m not press checking in the first place except every single morning”
“I ain’t press checking but it’s the first thing I do every morning”
Who do you live with that you need to check every day if they messed with your gun? If they're going to do something while you're sleeping don't you think they would just steal it, or blast you in your sleep and steal it?
Better to check and be sure than pull the trigger and go "click". I press check almost every single time I leave the house. Just incase I was practicing draw and dry fire but forgot to rechamber for various reasons.

People who don't know if their firearm is hot or not scare me. Press check however you like and the message remains the same
I'm in the James Yeager camp on this one... The gun is loaded at ALL times, period. Unless I need to check the weapon prior to servicing/cleaning, press checks are a waste of time.
Press checks aren't for checking if the gun is clear, It is to make sure your first round is properly chambered before a mission etc. and the gun WILL go boom.
if you need to keep checking your weapon to make sure it chambered, you should toss your tupperware gun and get a 1911

I don’t press check. I rack my round in once, and I have full trust and confidence that it’s still there and it’s going to perform when I need it too. Also, I don’t play with it after that either. Once it’s loaded, it stays that way until I specifically unload it for the range or another reason.
It's a safety habit you should do every time you pick up ANY gun
Aren't you so cool
I trust that a firearm will not unload itself, but I don't trust my safety to other people. If other people may possibly have had access to my firearm, then I'd check that it's loaded upon taking control of it again. So if I've been sleeping or I left a gun where it's possible someone could have unloaded (or loaded) it, I'll check it when I pick it up. It's a habit that could someday prevent me from carrying an unloaded gun. Or loaded gun I don't want loaded.
But that is just upon taking possession of the gun. If it's been on my hip all day, I trust the round didn't fall out of the chamber. I might check the gun when I begin carrying it for the day, that's all.
It's like you read my mind.
@@TacticalKangaroo1776 respectfully I would disagree. What you describe is clearing a firearm. That include removing the magazine, locking the slide back and inspecting the empty chamber.

As an "old guy" I'd like to point out, nobody did a presscheck until Stephen Segal did it in one of his crappy movies in n the 80's or early 90's. I carried professionally for 22 years ( 80' era Army drill sgt+ jail transport officer)never done one. Never will. Load it,engage the safety if you've got one, don't mess with it.
Steven Segal is not just a key figure on the pseudo firearms expert scene, but also on the pseudo martial arts scene ! He's known as a running joke to everyone with full contact experience.
I have never pressed check my guns, I know when it is loaded or unloaded.
I do you can never be to careful I’ve seen and heard of to many people getting hurt or killed from thinking the gun was unloaded.
Really defeats the point of safety if you pretend to always know if its loaded or not
@@jaydenlinn1846 In the situation you just described, you wouldn't do a press check. Instead, you would release the mag and rack the chamber. If it had a round, it would eject and the slide would lock. If it didn't have a round. The slide would lock.
In both situations, you have now just ensured your weapon is fully unloaded and 100% safe to use in an effective and professional manner. Because you have unloaded the mag, you don't have to worry about a round getting loaded. Because the slide is locked, you don't have to worry about a round being fired if the trigger is pulled (or even being loaded for that matter).
The only time I would ever consider a press check is if I am in a situation where I need a round loaded and was in a state of mind that left me uncertain, or if I just grabbed someone else's weapon and have no clue of its status.
If you need to do a press check you should not have a firearm. You don't know your weapon is loaded? Then hand it back to an adult.

Every single gun shown has a loaded chamber indicator.

Don't rely on them. Some are activated by racking the slide like an HK(shows red) even on an empty gun. Some are tactical like the glock which is pushed out by the extractor against the round.

So for those doing it for Tacticool, are they using a mirror to turn themselves on?

That's both disturbing, but in the context of using their Chambered Round Indicator, if they're doing that.. I consider that even more safe. Every time you do a press check and manipulate the slide, you're risking it not fully seating, having some foreign object get stuck in it... there are actual risks associated with manipulating "a machine" outside of it's normal operation cycle. Sorry got so long, but you made me think of explaining it even further in ways some may have never considered... carry on and stay safe!

Looking for this comment. Carry for years and never have to do a press check. It’s loaded when it’s loaded. And it isn’t when I remove the round. I’m amazed that so many shooters out there press check on the regular. Maybe I get the range but any other time, wtf
it’s about safety. if you wanna shoot yourself on accident that’s fine i guess.
@@pooplejarjust rack the slide back u clown
Aside from when I am cleaning my guns or at the range and not currently shooting a specific gun, I cannot think of a single instance my gun would not have a round chambered and a round chambered pistol is cocked by default so I don't see the purpose of a press check to see if it is cocked either. And when I am at the range or cleaning guns, the ones currently not in use will have the slide locked open for safety purposes, so no press check needed there either.
Outside of cleaning and range shooting, all of my guns are either on my person or in a gun safe 100% of the time so a round chambered all the time is perfectly safe. I guess if I was at the range and I was allowing a friend to shoot one of my guns I could check the loaded pistol indicator but they are like me, either reload and chamber the gun or (preferable for safety), lock the slide open.

The poor mom who carries a cheap Taurus
I alternate between "The Mom who carries" and the "Dad Bod" myself, it depends on which gun I am carrying. However I do the 3 checks like the "Tactical range officer" in all cases, sometimes just two checks but usually three and rapidly.
When using my Beretta 92FS I almost exclusively do the "Tactical range officer," though I am most proficient with it over all as it is my favorite. It's a bit heavy for a carry though and I wouldn't use it for that.
When using my Ruger SR9 I tend to do "The Mom who carries" or rather some hybrid of that with a partial slide grip because it has really stiff springs.
On my Sub-compact FN 503 I tend to do "The Dad Bod" because it has really soft springs and the rear of the gun is really short.
This is hilariously complicated to think about actually.
Taurus has a flag on top that let's you know when there's one in the pipe
@Jack Memphis I'll tell you one thing, though. I bought that gun in the discount section. Then, when I resold it at a different store, I got like 80-100$ more. It's one of the few examples of that happening I have in my life. I may have been a poor mom, but I came up that day. I've always wondered if that is a common thing you can do or if I just got lucky.
@Spartan945 as someone who's not super proficient with guns the tactical range officer one seemed new to me. What's the benefit of don't it that way. From my untrained perspective it seems awkward and like your thing it your way to not get a good grip on the gun. It was also so fast in not even sure I saw if the gun was clear.

Most newer guns have a window or a loaded chamber indicator. C'mon man 😂
Not as fun 😂
That doesn't fulfill the fidget desire though.
Mine has that and I still press check. Good habit in the right timing.
The only ones that are reliably are the windows that actually let you see the round. My S&W has a window, but the new models have like a red thing that protrudes front the slide, which can malfunction.
@@trailerparksupervisor5378the Springfield hellcat has a hole that allows you to see the brass, even in most holsters

Indicators can fail. You're eyes won't.
Pistols like Springfield and Smith and Wesson have indicators so you know you have brass or not. S&W has a peep hole and the Springfields have a metal thing that pushes out. Its great if its dark and you dont want to make noise bc you can feel it with your finger if there is a round chambered.
Glock has one on the extractor as well
But that doesn’t look cool. Press check is just a way people like to look like they know what they’re doing.
