Darwin hard at work.

Just for redundancy sake: Treat all firearms as if they are loaded.

Call me anal retentive, but unless I check it, I don't consider it clear. Not an absolute, but I was taught that good etiquette is to drop the mag and lock the slide open before handing a semi-auto pistol to someone. Revolvers, open the cylinder and pass it while grasping the top strap.

Be safe.

The extractor doesn't stick out on the M&P, but there is a hole in the top that allows you to see brass in the chamber.

OK. I thought there was a way to do a chamber check, just couldn't remember what it was for the M&P.

Still a good idea to tell him this though. Sounds like he needs all the help he can get.

If this is what he was demonstrating; the proper method for shooting yourself in your head, he succeeded...Sometimes it pays to be wrong.

^^This!

Too bad we don't get to see it on youtube, for educational purposes of course. It would teach us firearms safety much more efficently! Oh sometimes I lose my head over these issues...

Reckon he had that piece cocked to the side for the kill shot?

Loaded or not, never cover anything you don't want to destroy. Especially your head.
