We all have our pet peeves. One of mine is people who abuse their firearms by trying to do dramatic flourishes with their mechanisms a’la TV and movies.
Gun writer Mitch Eckler does a good job of pointing out the same problems in this article in an Athlon publication, the online edition of Combat Handguns magazine.
It’s a good, solid read, and worth looking at just for the lead photo, “gun porn” of my favorite configuration of Smith & Wesson’s classic .357, the blue steel Model 19 Combat Magnum with four-inch barrel and round butt.
Seriously, though, you’re looking at it for the advice, not the pix.
