Handgun Function Checks

ByDave Timm

In this episode we go over function checks for your handgun. A function check is quick series of checks that can be done after service or cleaning to make sure parts are functioning as they should. The best test of course is live fire but this can help offer some insight when that is not an option. Follow all firearm safety rules and make sure the gun is unloaded before performing any service or function checks.

Thanks for watching!

Like most of you, I enjoy kick-ass action movies. It is not uncommon to see classic James Bond or modern day Jason Bourne creeping up on some unsuspecting bad guy then eliminating him with a quick triple tap, where only the gentle “pfftt, pfftt, pfftt” is heard from their sound suppressed pistol. Or maybe they need to engage a target at distance with some high-speed, low-drag break-down rifle they piece together out of an unassuming backpack.
