Quick Gun question????????????

Question

When the gun's safety is on, which side it it switched to? Is the side with the red dot pushed in, or does it stick out?

Answer 1

red means danger on most firearms. Red showing means it's ready to fire. To test, remove magazine from firearm, pull slide back and lock it in the rear word position. Physically look into the chamber to verify it is unloaded, don't be afraid to push a pencil or cleaning rod thru from the barrel end until you can see it in the cleared chamber. remove pencil etc, lower the slide to the fully closed position. aim the firearm in a completely safe direction, with good backstop and place the safety in one position or the other, attempt to pull the trigger. then move it to the other position and try again. Memorize the safety position so that you can engage and disengage it without looking. Also remember that safeties can fail, so keep the firearm pointed in a safe direction. never point the firearm at anything you don't want to shoot.

The exposed red dot indicates that it is in the fire position.  When the red dot is not visible, it is in the safe position.  Remember it by remembering that red means danger.

make sure its not loaded, and dry fire it . . .  if the trigger sear releases the hammer, and the hammer hits the firing pin it should click . .  otherwise you should not be able to squeeze the trigger.  

Answer 13

When you see red it is not on safety, in other words when you pull the trigger it will go off.* A person should never rely or trust any safety, because they sometimes mechanically Fail.* Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction at all times.* Do not put your finger on the trigger unless and until you are ready to fire.*

Answer 14

If the red safety indicator is showing, the safety is OFF.
