From a technical stand point my ring finger is in the middle. So it's the new bird
 
Bgolden can I say something without you taking this wrong? The two recent nd's that occurred happened with two of the "safest" guns out. One a 1911 based gun with safety, and your revolver in which the heavy trigger pull is the safety. I can completely understand wanting to get rid of your lcr due to the memory, but by your posts about 1911's, it almost seems as if you've become dependant on a safety, which is bad. You said it yourself, you managed to break all 3 rules, do you honestly feel that a safety on your 1911 would have prevented this? Please don't think I'm throwing stones, but safeties don't prevent accidents. Its like a kid that hurts his head because he didn't wear a helmet now wants his training wheels back on.
 
I don't think it is so much having a safety as not carrying with one in the pipe. One of the things that happens alot with 1911's, we dry fire them(mag removed) Yes it is a bad habbit and might be what happened with the LCR ??? The safety is more of a mental thing, I have never used mine. I also do not carry in condition 1. I can't answer for himl but I think the fact that it was a revolver has just put him off of owning them.
I also don't think he will be offended by your questions.

I can understand dryfire, I do IR regularly, but I also rack the slide many many times and constantly peep in the chamber. I also carry with one in the pipe, but pay special attention when holstering iwb so not to shoot my hoodilly off. I'm not going to jinx myself, but ultimately, you have to use caution when handling your gun. Not carrying one in the pipe is not a good idea tactically for one, but for another, you may hear that bang when you expected a click.

I understand what you are saying brother.
I take no offense.
It has nothing to do with the safety. It has everything to do with my level of knowledge of the weapon it's self. I understand completely the need for saftey not in the physical safety on the gun but in me. I didn't choose the 1911 because it has multiple safeties but because it's what I have shot and carried for 8 years. I never ever carry with one in the chamber. I have always been that guy. I always operate the slide mag out two or three times and visual check the chamber before doing anything with the weapon. I also do the same thing when anyone hands me a pistol of any kind. I think my down fall was the fact that I had shot a revolver all of 3 times in my life. I have fired thousands upon thousands of rounds through Simi autos. I was way to comfortable with a revolver with no where near the knowledge needed to be safe. This in my opinion was due to the fact that I had developed a sixth sense with my 1911's. Stupid me. I broke at least three rules of firearm saftey. I can assure you it won't happen again.
For what ever reason I had a lapse in judgment at that moment. I am a gun saftey nut. I never assume anything with a firearm. I always always verify for myself. I wish I could say the same about that damn little lcr 357. It's all done and to late but I assure you I won't ever make the same mistake.
