Yeah, I was a little concerned about whacking it with a live round in it. I definitely pussied out on it.

Carry it with one in the chamber and use the decocker. Now as DA you've got about a14 lb pull.

We've got a Shoot Straight location here in Ft. Myers. I'll give them a try. Thanks for the responses.

Rent, thanks for the idea. OK, update. It's a live round that did not appear make it into the chamber. Using a flashlight and a mirror, I was able to look down the barrel and confirm that there is a copper-tipped bullet. I inserted a cleaning rod into the barrel and measured the distance from the en...
