I have always left my guns with the firing pin cocked during storage. Is that ok? If not what do you do pull trigger with a empty round and leave it like that until next year?
So cocked with tension on the springI keep mine stored with the bolt out
You weren't here to tell us what to think.talk about over thinking things.......wow
The ammo supply was another perk as well And you're correct, if I can dry fire that sidearm, and also depend on it to defend myself and my brothers, then I might be able to dry fire a hunting rifle once a year... twice if I'm feeling lucky!I don't mind dry firing other peoples guns either. If my life depended on my weapon, I would wear out a pile of them practicing.
And thanks for your service.
uh....no....that is called leaving a gun loaded....Maybe I’m confused here, but why on earth would you leave any gun cocked for storage? The question shouldn’t be “is this a bad thing?” Question is “is this a good thing?” My brother law, at 17 years old, took out a rifle from there gun safe that a friend of his fathers had stored there after a hunt. My brother in law was dumb enough to bump the hair trigger on the gun while carrying it out of the house and blew a hole through the floor of their house. Now I know there were lots of mistakes Made in my story, but it starts with the idea of leaving a gun cocked. Not sure I understand the benefits here.
Go try it and let us know. Good youtube material.Ok, is it ok to dry fire a loaded gun? Completely different topic.
