feel free to Share your discoveries :)
I discovered GLOCK handguns show when you have a round in the chamber and when you don’t by looking at them or feeling them(at night with no light)
It might sound stupid to some people but I didn’t know this until now sooo please .

That works on 3rd generation Glocks, but...

It doesn't work on 2nd (and 1st) generation Glocks.

Every user (who would be competent) should know how to do a armorer's grasp (blind) chamber check. (Which works with all pistols, all of the time, with bare hands and gloved hands, in daylight and in darkness.)
 
Geez guys, be gentle! He's just sharing something that HE noticed himself, not all of us absorb everything in our pistol's owners manual(if they come with one).

Something I learned about my Hi-Power from the manual that I never saw anywhere else was that the MkIII's come with a window milled into the chamber to allow you to see the base of the loaded round with a quick check.

As for the armorer's grasp, I learned something new today, going to go check out my HP and CZ to see if I can feel it now.

How is this performed oh mighty one? :p Seriously I want to know.
 
When I got my gen3 G17, I read the section in the manual which mentioned the loaded chamber indicator. I even practiced the blind chamber check and barely noticed the difference. I couldn't imagine trying this under a stressful situation. I guess I'm incompetent or need more practice or both:redface:
 
Well I never read manuals I always try to figure things out myself and as you can see after 2 month I figured it out loll
 
Yes sir and that is a clip installed on the gun and i love it and drawing from hip is much easier but putting the gun back is the hard part cuz u have to hold the layer that the clip hangs on to/ ATTENTION the clip is not made to hold the gun just like a holster but its for CC inside yo pants

On another note anyone ever tried the clip draw?

Is that your pistol in the picture deagle?

With a kydex trigger guard, on a lanyard, the clip draw would be convenient for impromptu carry without a holster in a free world...

One could, I suppose, wear it between 2 o'clock and 5 o'clock between the belt and the pants, clipped to the belt. (Not that you'd want to.) The Clip-draw, IMO, is yet another variant of "felony carry". Meaning that someone who is illegally carrying an illegal handgun might find it advantageous to be able to quickly arm himself with - and, post-felony, prior to an arrest, just as quickly ditch - his illegal handgun. Most licensed carriers - concerned primarily with safety and security - normally choose to carry in a quality holster that will secure against accidental discharge or inadvertent loss of the firearm.

I suggest a quality holster.

You know what an armorer's grasp is, right? Hold your pistol in a strong hand armorer's grasp. Using your strong hand only, tighten this hand to retract the slide. Use your weak hand - with your palm coming in contact with the front of the pistol's triggerguard, and then with your (weak hand) thumb and fingers wrapping around the dust cover and slide, clamping the slide to the frame (in it's now retracted position) - to trap the slide rearward. Now, with the slide trapped rearward, use the 5th phalange of your strong hand to feel inside the chamber face for a cartridge. (It's either there (and is loaded), or it isn't (and is unloaded). You don't have to see it, because you can feel it. Having confirmed it's status, get your pinky out of there, because you need to return the slide forward. Finger out? Good. With the slide still trapped rearward, under control of the weak hand, rotate your strong hand out of the armorer's grasp into a good strong hand (shooting) grip (and the trigger finger safely in index). With the pistol now under control in the strong hand - the pinky finger now safe and clear - and the slide still trapped rearward with the weak hand, open your weak hand to allow the slide to slam closed. Follow up by slamming your weak hand palm on the rear of the slide (to ensure that the slide is fully forward and in-battery).

This universal technique works for almost everyone, with almost everything. Day or night.
