[QUOTE="steelfingers, post: 2916914, member: 38658"] It happens sometimes. Mine was 20 years ago and all my fault. Old 38 revolver that was acting up. Had just loaded it up and had noticed a problem with the cylinder advance. Gun was loaded so I'm an idiot to be checking an issue while it's loaded. Anyway had cocked it and noticed the cylinder was sticking. Forced it a bit and bang. In the floor one round. Turned out the cylinder advance arm was screwed up but that's no excuse. Not glad it happened but what a wake up call for someone (me) that thought he was super safe. I am now. I do exactly the same thing every time I touch a gun now. If someone hands me a gun, I check it. When I'm working, cleaning or just handling my gun, I check it. Darn sure it's unloaded if I'm going to do anything. Also extra sure where it's pointed even after making sure it's unloaded. It happens but thank God we learn from our mistakes. [/QUOTE]
