Guess I was wrong. But at least no one was hurt because I make sure the gun never points toward where someone else would be when I'm handling it. I guess all that was hurt was my pride, my ceiling, and my hearing (a snub nose .38 going off in a tiny bedroom is LOUD!). I thank GOD that's all that was hurt! |
How can you load a double action revolver that has the muzzle pointed upward without the cartridges falling out? Also, did you uncontrollably cock the hammer and pull the trigger or was it a double action mistake? IMO it would be kind of difficult to identically pull the trigger on a double action. I don't know if I missed something on this.
