Does this look safe?

[BackWoods]

better view of my LCP....to compare.

 

[JDG.]

it doesnt look like the barrel is locked up. Can you push the slide forward any?

Nope, not safe at all. I will be happy to dispose of it for ya.

Please see the infractions thread for some constructive criticism!

That was my first thought but no, I can't. With or without a round, it goes into battery exactly the same....seeing the pics of the LCP makes me think it may be a configuration aimed at compacts. If we hook to shoot later this week, I reckon I'll find out.

I can see the nickel plating from an HST in my G27. It's not obvious, but if tilted just right you can see it.

My s&w bodygaurd 380 shows the bullet in the same place and my gf's dad also has the bodygaurd and it does the same. Pretty sure it's supposed to be that way.

that looks normal. my 2 db9 look the same exact way w/a round chambered

Only one way to find out!

I had no idea how much brass was exposed when a round was chambered in an automatic. A lot of auto pistols use unsupported chambers.

Do this, next time you have your 1911 or Glock (or DB9, in this case) apart for cleaning, insert a round in the chamber. Look at how much brass you can see. Scary.

When you're used to seeing bullets seat in .22's and wheel guns, the first time you see a round in an unsupported chamber it gives you the heebie-jeebies!
