How many times do you rack the slide before being confident it’s not loaded?

[MARINE DIVISION TWO]

Drop the mag, lock the slide open, then inspect chamber visually and with finger.

Sorry,Just thought it funny when you said check hole with finger ?My digits wont even fit into my friends 50 AE desert Eagle .

Three is an odd number. Why not four. Nice even number, and also a square of 2. You're not really OCD, are you?

Three is a prime number. That's why.

Slide back. Visually inspect. Frequently sweep chamber with pinkie.




The number one is prime also.

If you rack it more than 3 times, your just playing with it

why are you unloading a firearm?

i drop the magazine and rack the slide, then i chase the loose round be it down the magwell, onto the floor, half into my palm and half in the slide. whatever. i lock the slide back and clean/lube/service before reloading and chambering a round.
i keep my fingers off the trigger and don't buy guns that require a trigger pull for disassembly.

if i do not have the slide locked back for some reason, i will check that a round isn't chambered by racking it and locking it back.
i do not rush my procedure, it gets my full attention, the entire world can burn or wait, i'm handling a firearm.

i love in movies when a firearm is racked, in the next scene it is again, in the next scene it is again. or endless ammo, never need to reload.
one must assume that between every scene while in enemy territory the firearm is reloaded and a round is not chambered.

1 is actually not a prime number.

But 2 is a prime number, AND it's even. So maybe it's the best number of times to rack the slide?

I drop the mag and fire into the nearest garbage can.

So that's how Agent 13 was killed.

I told him to stop that but he didn't listen.
