    Get a copy of this and learn how they work.
    Damn, that game looks awesome. I've been pretty bored with games lately -- even resorted to playing all modules of Half-Life and Gunman Chronicles again.. And now here's something I can play, actually learn something and not be utterly and totally time-wasting. I appreciate the tip.

This means, when either of those devices is on "safe" and the trigger is operated, the only thing preventing the now fully tensioned firing pin from being released and the gun discharging is the less than 0.04" of trigger bar and firing pin lug engagement.

    It's an amazing learning tool. I learned more about how Glocks work spending an hour with that than I did the actual Glock armorer course.

    i made it to 1 minute before turning off. dude: stop grabbing your pistol by the muzzle! treat all guns as loaded (unless you want to shoot a hole in your hand). if you can't show how to safely handle a pistol on camera, why should i listen to anything else you have to say?

    I didn't even start counting, but I was similarly impressed. Sure, the slide is locked back and there's no mag in it, but holding it that way is a terrible habit and a worse example to set for people watching the video who may not know better.

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    When I see or hear "I am an expert" on something that seems obviously stupid to me, I take them at their word that they are an expert at stupidity.

    powered thru video #2, the lever works exactly the opposite of a Beretta 92 lever. brilliant!

    if you are that scared of your kids getting your pistol, buy a safe. don't share the keys/combo.
