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.

D-rings and webbing occasionally fit the need of securing gear that can’t be thrown in a bag or need to be readily accessible, but there just never seems to be enough of them to go around.
