In 35 years of handling firearms, I had one a.d., with a Beretta 92fs, was going to clean it, and pulled the trigger in my bedroom, putting a round through the wall, and into the telephone pole outside. Seems the loaded chamber indicator didn't have the red paint, and I didn't feel the extractor sticking out. I always do a visual on the chamber when cleaning, but that was the one time I didn't! Yes, with familiarity, does come carelessness! Won't happen again!
