  • STUPID to put the finger in the bore and in the magwell to se if the magazine is out. you just removed them...

    You could cut your finger on the extractor

  • @SLINGSHOTandMOLOTOWS

    stupid to be afraid of cutting yourself

  • very educational, having hard time explaining to my wife the difference of double and single action, thank you sir.

  • @voz39zam

  • 32 people failed their Basic Handgun Course

  • A precaution to everyone.

    Do not shoot single action guns; you will not like any other trigger system after that one.

  • Nice video. Ive had my pistol permit for a few years now and was still slightly confused about the differences but this video has cleared it up. All the other videos make them all seem the same because you have some jacked up gun guy so eager to give you the wrong info on the differences

  • Most useful video. Thanks.

  • Im a little confused, i'm going to get my first gun in a couple of months so i have been looking at a lot of different pistols and on some web sites i can choose to sort by either single action or semi automatic and i thought that for pistols they were they same thing so is there any difference?

  • great video the wifey liked it made sense to her

  • Thanks for this video! Excellent description!

  • nice video
