its good practice to aggressively rack (pull) the slide back and tap your shoulder/chest area like youre slapping yourself- all in one motion

just to clarify, you reset the slide when you dry fire while still having the trigger pressed, right? Press trigger and hold it all the way back, reset the slide, then slowly release the trigger until it resets. I know thats obvious, but I thought Id ask

the earlier builds of the 5906/5906/4506 and possibly other 3rd gens were built with the square trigger guard for the reasons mentioned in the post above. I have a square trigger 5903 and dislike it mainly for the fact that holsters are harder to find

I know, thats why I also addressed the topping off of magazines. I was telling other people in the thread that were discussing chambered rounds.

Thanks! I appreciate that, but my department wont allow for modified holsters. It has to be specifically designed for the firearm.

Imagine you are there sitting in the barber's chair while the place is getting robbed. You can either discretely draw your firearm and conceal it under the bib and cap off rounds, or you can try to somehow draw the firearm and have to use both hands and to loudly "chamber". You can also use a...

I purchased a square triggered 5903 and it came with black followers on a 14 round marked magazine. I changed the followers to the orange ones and now stuff them each with 15 rounds... thanks to the info from this forum lol

yup. Always chambered and always top off the mag after

man what a gem! awesome find!

Correct, Shotguns and Rifles are not carried with a round in the chamber until you deploy the weapon.

I wouldnt call it stupid cuz we use glocks and m&p's. they do not have safety's. with shotguns they train with using the safety. I never went to rifle school so i dont know, but my assumption is that they also use the safety
