Boudreaux78 Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Not sure if this is the right place but wanted to bring this up. I see shooters all the time place their hand over the chamber as they eject their round and prevent the round from falling to the ground by catching it in their hand. This is not the same as flipping the round up in the air and catching it. The problem with this method is the primer can drag against the extractor or the ejector and discharge the round in your hand. There are numerous cases of this occurring and the photographs are nasty. One round worth less than .25 cents is not worth loosing part of a finger or worse. Let the round fall to the ground or flip it carefully in the air without sweeping yourself or breaking 180. I haven't had a round go off in my hand, just would hate to see it happen to someone. Good luck out there and stay safe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
