That's great for a simple stove pipe, but the OP had a Jam below the SP. One simple to clear another pretty much impossible by yourself.
Shooting alone is a personal choice, when you get to be "old" you may change your mind!
I never thought about it in the past, but now I do!
Especially since I work on all sorts of weapons that require test firing, one never knows when one of them may cause a problem.
It is amazing what folks can do to screw up a pistol or a rifle, getting them sorted out quite often takes more than two hands!
