[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2822025, member: 26737"] Visual is a must; if you can't see into the chamber, check with your finger. There was a gunsmith in OKC who lost his life about 20 years ago because he didn't visually inspect the chamber on a 1911; reportedly, he dropped the mag and racked the slide, then went to put it in the vise. At some point he got his finger inside the trigger guard while he was in front of the muzzle, hitting the trigger in the process, and that was all she wrote. Yes, he dropped the mag and racked the slide, and in that order--but it had a broken extractor. He could've racked the slide all day and it would've left that round in the pipe... [/QUOTE]
