That was me. Ok, as best I recall - this was an indoor range, 25’.
- I put on plugs, muffs, and was wearing glasses
- Set my pistol case on the bench, oriented so that pistols were facing downrange
- Loaded a magazine with 5 rounds (it’s a target pistol)
- Removed pistol from box, locked slide back, inserted loaded chamber flag, pistol pointing downrange the whole time (I don’t get why people need to point an uncased, unholstered gun anywhere but downrange - or straight down at the ground, maybe)
- Put a target on the carrier and ran it downrange. It was a serious target, NRA bullseye, not some tactical sihouette thing
- Inserted magazine, removed chamber flag, aimed, fired, repeat slowly 4X.
- Removed magazine, locked back slide, inserted flag, set pistol down
- Pistol has never pointed anywhere but downrange since I set the box on the bench, and it has either been in my grip being fired or with slide back, mag out, loaded chamber flag inserted
- Stepped back from bench.
- It helped that the pistol was a $2K Italian target .22 pistol with ergonomic grips and a tube red-dot - unfair I know but some make assumptions based on the gun.
