Rich..I have a pistol range here beside my leather shop and shoot almost anytime a gun buddy comes by. Last Summer I was handed a Ruger SAA revolver .45 that had been highly polished stainless steel with a Bisley grip and hammer. I had a little gun oil on my hands and as I pulled back on the hammer to charge it..it went off. I was totally unfamiliar with the pistol and needless to say it shocked some sense into me. I had it pointed down range and in front of me about 20 feet is where the bullet went..so we must all recognize that these toys we play with are not something to take for granted.
I realize how important safeties are and how important it is to practice proper range safety. Only one mistake could change your life or someone elses.
I still wouldn't take that SAA Bisley as a gift though...It has an accidental discharge written all over it in neon lights.
