[QUOTE="_CY_, post: 1139883, member: 7629"] No accidental discharges for me... but did have a close one that scared the crap out of me. when I first got my 340PD, it was normal to dry fire a couple hundred times a night. I'd unload my self defense rounds by opening cylinder. turn upside down, dumping out five rounds. did this exact same motion hundred of times. it was habit to constantly double check pistol was unloaded before starting dry firing. backed up by never point pistol at anything you don't want destroyed. well those good habits saved my bacon... after unloading shells... before I started dry firing.... double checked again. to my HORROR a single round was stuck in the cylinder. Had I started to dry fire without double checking... would have resulted in an accidental discharge. SCARED the crap out of me!!! my ingrained safety habits saved my butt. Now instead of dumping out rounds by gravity. I'll push the shell ejector for a dead positive unload. the never point weapon at anything you don't want destroyed rule would have also saved me even with an AD... [/QUOTE]
