Twenty-plus years ago in the pages of Backwoods Home magazine I wrote a series of “refresher” articles on the safe and efficient handling of rifles, shotguns, and handguns. Safety is always worth reviewing. Here’s the one on handguns.

The illustrations on the chamber check!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I preach that if you’ve just loaded the firearm, the smart way to check the chamber is to check the magazine. Should be down one. If the slide/bolt is fully forward, you know where the missing round is.
