Got my mod 2 finally and love it. When I went to clean her after shooting the first time I got curious.

What would happen if you were attempting to tear down the gun with a round in the chamber when you pull the trigger to release the slide?

On one hand j would assume that the round would fire, on the other the slide may come off. Or hell both might happen. Anyone done this or know what would actually happen?

 

[binoly]

Obviously it's a no no and something that we shouldn't do, I'm just curious what would happen if anyone has done it seen it done.

I'm hiding behind the biggest rock I can find....
Let me know how this turns out....and please, no pictures I'm squeamish !!!

 

[binoly]

You go first.

 

[ybnorml]

You go first.

You posed the question, I am awaiting the results

 

[pokute]

Neither of you has snap caps?

 

[ybnorml]

I had sugar snap peas in the garden ....

 

[dondavis3]

I just suggest you not do it & I imagine if someone on here was dumb enough to do it

They wouldn't admit it

 

[binoly]

I haven't but would like to know what would happen.

So rather than jump off the deep end and try this I contacted Springfield. They say that it will go boom.

My only thought was, I hope he's joking. If a round is in the chamber of a semi auto after removing the MAG, you have a loaded gun. That's one reason more knowledge and care needs to be given with a semi auto over a revolver.

that sounds about as careless as looking down the barrel to see if it's loaded!!
