      @@dn8276 K im gonna try to explain why it wasnt stupid, the gun he was using was a Kimber 1911 which is a gun that notoriously jams on the first round of the mag, so the press check part made sense. Now the other part of that is the one handed part which is fine because he was checking a body while he was doing it.

    Wow I cant believe the "Pinch Check" was ever implemented. Seems dangerous enough to place your finger by the barrel AND the trigger.

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Danger is relative, and the chamber still has to be checked, NOW, before the door-team blasts the hinges, not later, after your mani-pedi. Front-end grasping-grooves are relatively new, and have a negative effect on drawing the piece from a holster, esp. leather holsters. The advantage of the "scary" pinch-check (besides NOT requiring front grooves) is that it's MUCH easier to *keep the muzzle down,* below horizontal, esp. as you release the slide back into battery. Larry V. is a pro's pro, yet @1:48 notice how HIGH the muzzle comes to get an eyeball on the chamber--high enough for an AD to hit someone in the chest/head, or fly out a thin window instead of going into the floor/ground. Big Picture thinking... weighing the trade-offs.

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Additional, closely-related advantage to the "scary pinch" method, is how much *closer to your body* it can be performed... think about that in the context of a cramped vehicle, tight stairwell, or when you're stacked-up, nose-to-shoulder, with your entry team. It's not like the "pinch" was invented by clueless dummies, quite the opposite (e.g. Chuck Taylor, Rob Leatham, Don Fisher, etc.) But yeah, most peeps should NOT use it.

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      For a dramatic, OVERdone example of the "scary pinch", see James Caan in 'Thief', the scene where Jim Belushi drives him to "L&A Plating" to see a Mr. Attaglia... Caan's character carries a gorgeous full-custom Jim Hoag Longslide, with Hoag's trademark squared-off trigger guard. EPIC film... timeless soundtrack by Tangerine Dream.

    People ask why do law enforcement officers conduct "Chamber check". Chamber check is exactly what it says. Checking the condition of the chamber. This applies to magazine fed weapon systems. For example, we observe many shooters failed to fully insert the magazine and cycle the slide or charging handle depends on the type of your weapon system. So outcome of this is an empty chamber. So you decided not check the condition of the chamber and engage your intended target (paper or actual defense of your life). You will hear very loud "Click" of hammer or striker dropping into an empty chamber. This is one of major reason to conduct a chamber check by law enforcement officers.There are many other situations that requires a chamber check depends on the given situation and condition.

    I remember the "pinch check" being extolled by the 1911 Guro's of the day, and even as a young man thought how stupid to develop a technique that managed to get a finger near the muzzle and your thumb near the trigger. After seeing that, it was kind of hard to take anything else they said seriously, guess that's why I never drank the 1911 Koolaid.

    • @gameragodzilla
      @gameragodzilla 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I can understand it from the perspective that it's very easy to do because you have leverage from both the index and thumb finger, and it's unlikely to overshoot and accidentally eject a round. I have done that a couple times when doing press checks on a pistol by pulling the slide too hard, especially if the slide is a little sticky. I end up overexerting strength and pulling the slide too far back.
      Still, that slight inconvenience is much better than an ND, so I do it anyways.

    The 1st option you don't recommend seems like one of those things people did before they understood the dangers of an accidental discharge. The 2nd & 3rd option where you check the chamber by guiding the rail back from underneath or from behind on the portion above the slide catch seems like the logical approach to check if you got one in the chamber.
    I'm not a gun expert in any form whatsoever but I appreciate & respect the useage of firearms. Thank you for another great tip!

    Obviously, we have migrated away from the first technique these days. I have done it thousands of times over more than three decades without losing any fingers or having a negligent discharge, though. If you have thin fingers, a short trigger and a strong grip, it's not too big an issue. If you have fat fingers and a long trigger with a really light pull, it becomes more problematic. And, for those who say it won't work on any other guns, not true--works on a Glock 17L! (You can also load a 17L or clear a dud round with one hand just like a GI 1911 by pressing the bottom front end of the slide against something hard.) As for the Beretta, I always used my index and middle fingers to hook the safety levers and placed my thumb on the grip tang and then pinched it to check. I don't see the issue with having different techniques for different guns. A press check is something that you do when you aren't really in a hurry. If you're familiar with lots of different guns, it shouldn't be some horribly confusing thing to figure out which one you're holding in your hand.
    Obviously, I understand where some of these other views come from about press checking. After all, we have instructors out there telling us that the "martial way of gun handling" does not include press checks. And, when you are loading a gun, if you can take out the mag and top it off, there must be a round in the chamber now. On an M16, if the top round in the mag was on the right and you run the bolt and now the top round is on the left, there's a round in the chamber. But, as people have pointed out, a lot of guys who thought they were hot shit and "always knew the condition of their weapon" have found themselves trying to shoot someone with a gun that didn't have a round in the chamber.
    The people who have made a religion out of hating press checks amuse me. But that's what happens when you become a believer in one way of doing things and your sense of identity and self worth gets all wrapped up in it--you have to belittle other people and say their way is "wrong" so you can believe that your way is "right" and the one true path of martial enlightenment or some silly shit like that. We are talking about the manipulation of a mechanical object and some levers. In the end, everyone has to decide for themselves. After all, you're the one who is going to live or die based on whether or not you get it right.

  • @FNG_Star
    @FNG_Star 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I never press check. If i forget for even an instant if the gun is chambered the mag comes all the way out and i fully rack that slide. The inconvenience of this method has made it to where I am less likely to forget the guns condition. Just like calculators made math less important to remember, press checks make remember the guns current condition less important, as you can just press and peek. Screw that. If I forget I have to do it all over again. Thus I can currently tell you the operation status of ALL my guns. I also never pick up and handle a gun that I have not fully unloaded and reloaded myself THAT same day. I unload and reload the carry gun every day, no exceptions. For me, this is the safe way to function. No cheat checks.

    The Ruger SR 1911's have a hole on top of the slide showing if there is a loaded round in the chamber, Which is great, So you do not have to do any Press Check, To see if there is a loaded round in the Chamber etc. Great TIP Thanks for sharing etc.

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah... that Ruger "feature" seems a bit problematic in the event of a case head blowout. In fact I wonder if it is even SAAMI-approved??😱🤯 Bottom Line: there still comes a time when you have to UNload live rounds from your weapon, withOUT firing it, and you must learn to do that safely, without causing a Negligent Discharge (ND). (PS: that port on Ruger 1911s is in the top of the BARREL (chamber portion), NOT the slide.)

    For all the people saying that it seems like common sense, just remember: at one point in history, the earth being flat was common sense. Everything, including firearms training/safety, evolves. At one point, this was seen as a legitimate thing to do simply because no one had articulated the risk. Since then, it grew into "common sense" and people thought it was okay, regardless of the standards we hold ourselves to today.

    • @becauseiwasinverted5222

      I know that, but, unless my understanding of the phrase "press check" is wrong, I would say that the 1st method is even somewhat counter-intuitive...if I wanted to see if I have a round in the chamber my instinctive response would be to pull the slide to take a look, even if no one had ever taught me to do it. At worst, I'd pull the slide all the way back and would have to pick up the round, or I'd remove the mag and check if it's full. I don't know who came up with this, and most importantly why, as I can't understand what merits anyone could ever see in this method.

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Springs don't "break in"... but various aspects of the frame-to-slide fit do... the snag, pull-harder, then-too-far syndrome you mention is typically caused by rough edges where the slide runs-over, then depresses the DISCONNECTOR, and/or the hole in the frame which the disconnector reciprocates in. Sometimes a few hundred rounds in a new 1991 smooths this right out, other times a bit of "smithing" is needed. On my well-tuned, well-broken-in 1911s, I can _barely_ detect that point where the discon gets cammed-down by the slide while cycling by hand. Heck, next time you're field-stripped, just put the slide back on the frame by itself, no barrel, link, or recoil spring in the way (since trigger-sear-discon doesn't depend on any of that), and see how smoothly, or not, it runs by hand, zero vertical tension due to barrel lugs cammed upwards by recoil spring = worst-case frame-to-slide friction.

    @fivepoint5sicks 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Press check makes sense... If you have a Hi-Point.
    If you trust your gun enough to not press check after every reload/tactical reload, why do you not trust it to chamber properly on its initial loading?
    If your pistol has a Brass "Peephole", you should not feel the need to press check, as the peephole is clear verification on its status.
    Pistols that have a pivoting chamber indicator, I wouldn't guarantee that to perform 100% flawlessly as any obstruction can cause that to stick out. I never press check and I've only had an empty chamber mishap zero time's.
    Plus, I been shooting guns for so long, I can easily tell by the sound and feel, if i slammed home a round or and empty chamber.
    I'm not saying it's impossible for a firearm to have an empty feed malfunction, because they can. If you don't have confidence in your firearm, you have every right to comfort your concerns with a press check.

    A lot of comments about the validity of press checks. Makes one wonder how many people just don't like being told that they may have more to learn about firearms handling.

    @Rake3577 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you think its ok to push the back of the slide forward with the palm of your hand ( as with the forward assist on an AR ) after performing a brass check to make sure the slide is in full battery ? sometimes i even slap the slide like that when it doesnt cycle properly and it works everytime, is that a good technique or a bad habit in your opinion ?

    • @snek9353
      @snek9353 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Can't speak for Larry but I'm in the habit of placing my thumb on the back of the slide to the left of the hammer at times. It's kinda stupid though, if the safety will engage it's in battery.

      GID BT, ...said every person who accidentally shot something or someone. They "knew" the condition of the chamber and thought themselves smart enough to not bother checking.

      If you want to be tacticool, then do a press check, if you want to be practical then know when your gun is loaded and unloaded.

      @tommasomorandini1982 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Dank Dark To be reaaaaally safe is recommanded to check a gun when you leave it somwhere and when you pick it up. It seems excessive but with a tool designed to kill you want to be safe as possible

    • @neonpaintsplash
      @neonpaintsplash 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That's how I've always looked at it until I started training at the range it's very easy to forget the condition of your firearm when you're constantly downloading mags and firing rounds through various drills.

    @adaptivesolutions1821 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you have proper weapon handling doing a press check should in no way mess up your weapon or take it out of battery and cause a malfunction. I'm sure someone has press checked and NOT properly checked their weapon and go to shoot and nothing happen. There is a time and a place for everything so if you are going to do it do it correctly and you will not have a problem.

  • @hoofed

  • @mikelindbergh642
    @mikelindbergh642 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    There are many ways to check the condition of your firearm. The pinch check was popular before 1985-1990. It's an outdated technique. Special Ops have evolved a bit since 1985...

      Yup, no such thing as an accidental discharge, it's all negligence, certainly what he described is.

  • @huch6790
    @huch6790 8 ปีที่แล้ว

    Regardless of how you press check a 1911, you want to release the grip safety before you do it to prevent ND's (especially if you use the first way).

    • @MajorCaliber
      @MajorCaliber 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You unintentionally point out Yet Another (of many) advantages of the "scary" (1st Way) actual "pinch" check, i.e. it's the ONLY method (of these 3) whereby you CAN maintain good control of the piece, withOUT depressing the grip-safety! (Uber important because the thumb-safety MUST BE OFF to move the slide.) I challenge you to NOT depress it with method 2 or 3, withOUT dropping the pistol! You need to KNOW your 1911, in the dark, under duress, and when tumbling down a hillside or stairs. (You should also know Massad Ayoob's excellent re-HOLSTERING method, in which the hand is far-removed from the grip-safety, yet still in solid control of the pistol overall.)

      I never have and never will do a press check, however, I believe the Glock take down method you are talking about would require a change in grip that the press check fetishists would not approve of.
