  • What do you do if you have a hangfire/misfire on a revolver?

  • Wait for 30 seconds, keep the gun on target, then pull the trigger again. Revolvers take a lot less training to master.

  • cant blame the soldier for not waiting. in combat that would get you killed. tap..rack..bang.

    not something you should do on the range but after having it drilled into your head by the military its probably hard to remember not to do it.

  • SPORTS is an acronym that was developed by the army, With "tap...rack...bang" you're just taking out observing the chanber and tapping the forward assist. On the Ruger I don't generally tap the back of it, and observing the chamber doesn't take me hardly any time at all. Thanks for the comment.

  • I agree with everything you say.Being a nurse you should know there is more than just one way to practice medicine.Use what works for you.This is what I was taught in military 89 to 93,2 different police academies,tactical medic for daviess county, ky srt team.Brother in law that is a civilian contractor at FORT BRAGG, N.C.(DELTA).Clint Smith(HK,Gunsite,Thunder Ranch)teaches this method.Same method military uses on the M-16 remedial action drills.

  • The method I used it also derived from the military, more specifically the Army. SPORTS. Slap, pull, observe, release, tap (there's is your forward assist on the M-16) and squeeze (shoot). If the problem is a magazine spring that's over compressed, reloading the retained magazine won't do you any good. I might use your method on the range, but I myself would never use it in a gun fight. I'm comfortable and confident in my method. Thanks for your comments.

  • You say you are using your sights at encounters of 3-5 feet?! In order to use the sights the gun has to be extended TOWARD the target(?). If my opponent is 3-5 feet away my gun is just going to clear my holster and I'm gonna pivot the gun to bring the barrel onto the target and I am going to engage with the gun just above waist level just forward of the hip. To extend your weapon toward a threat that close is to risk being disarmed.
