15. Is a revolver safer WRT newbie challenges like these? He pointed out in another video that when a revolver cartridge doesn't fire, you can just pull the trigger again. I'm wondering what would be the easiest/safest handgun to handle.
16. I got a pretty nasty blood blister from my dad's luger, on my last shot I moved my hand and got caught on the inside of my thumb, could have been a lot worse tho!
17. thanks for getting hotdog all over your gun in the name of safety lol I appreciate it!

19. Can't believe people actually think that's how you're supposed to hold a pistol that grip doesn't even feel too good in my opinion
