I have a Kimber with the grip safety...

Should my right hand straddle the slide while using my right thumb to remove the magazine? I seem to recall holding the grip and using my thumb but I'll have to run through the motion of removing the mag and clearing the gun to see what I'm currently doing.

ND or AD is the sole reason I have a hard time leaving one chambered.

That's why I love my beretta 96d. Its double action only, I can leave it chambered and its almost impossible to accidently discharge.

Most high end 1911s require 1,000 round break ins. Check out Ed Brown, and Wilson Combat. I have gone to the range and burned through ammo to break in both a Brown and 2 Wilsons. It is not that they need that many rounds to get them feed properly.

Wilson Combat only says not to clean your gun for the first 300 rounds. They say if it has a malfunction, call them and send it back.

FYI, FFC: your palm should be off the grip safety when you clear the gun. That will help ensure you don't fire it accidentally for a couple of reasons, one of which being it will be impossible for your finger to be on the trigger.

ND not AD. That is all.

yep

I took it as, he dropped the mag out of the gun, and was going to rack the slide to clear the gun to take down and clean, but upon ejecting the mag, it fired...

I want to know where your trigger finger was during the ejecting of the mag?

OK that would make sense, I just couldn't understand WTF he was saying.

I don't care what Arlington PD called it. ND vs AD is a long winded argument but basis is, there are next to zero firearm accidents only negligent handling.

An accident is when the slide goes home on a round that has been used as the chambered round far too many times. Loose, light primer strikes will occur making that particular ROUND prone to an AD but you just dropping the magazine changes nothing internal in the firearm that would drop the hammer.

Negligent Discharge would be A 1911 has to be in FIRE to fire. Negligent being the weapon was not on Safe and you caused the firearm to fire. With the safety on you can throw it down the stairs and it is not going to fire. Keep weapon on Safe until you intend to fire.

Then again, there is a reason clearing barrels and pads are built the way they are. People can be Negligent at times. I will try and get some pictures of the clearing barrels here on base. ALL OF THEM HAVE BULLET HOLES IN THEM. Weapon on safe. Drop Magazine. Weapon off safe (for a 1911). Pull slide to rear, repeat. Pull trigger. Place weapon on safe. Replace any rounds that came out into the magazine, replace magazine. People still fail to drop the magazine but instead chamber a round before pulling the trigger, happens all the time. Funnier when they fire 2-3 rounds because they are not smart enough to stop their negligent behavior.

So his women are cheaper and less likely to blow his head off?

I'd say it's the exact opposite of that lol

Ha!

And he apparently handles them both equally well.

You should make a third one that's too small to read.
