I'm not a trained firearms expert and instructor, but even I know that the band is supposed to go under the trigger to prevent it from firing if safety is off. Somebody calls him on it and Pat is too stupid to even figure out what he's talking about.

It's to pull the trigger more quickly child, might some some Trump supporters outside with pepperoni

This is Pat posting a meme image and posting the same dumb joke 8,000 other people did. And you fell for it, asshole.

Are you saying that Pat tricked me again into thinking that he's a stupid asshole? How does he keep doing it?

Its supposed to go through the ejection port and down through the handle where the magazine goes isnt it? Im no expert firearms guy. But Pat is a Firearms Instructor. He should know this stuff.

Is this the origin of "That's... not how any of this works"? Pretty gay back story, if true.

Yeah, a GEICO ad. That's the comedic direction everything's going in now. Boomer-friendly, meme-worthy yuk-yuks.

It's from a commercial from like 10 years ago.

True, the ones that go under the trigger are a different style, without a chain/band.

Unless it concerns gaining mass amounts of weight or scamming the gubmint, i wouldnt ask pat for advice about anything else. Oh ya. And how to abandon your own kid. That too.

Although most typical ones I see are the trigger lock. Although keeping tension on the recoil spring doesn't seem like a good idea. I mean I doubt anything would happen like it wouldn't be able to cycle, but I wouldn't do it.

It's the same thinking with keeping mags loaded for years and years.

There was an original 1911 unearthed I read about that had a fully loaded mag that stayed that way for a century, and it still fed the gun fine.

Once again, putting out dangerous disinformation is a felony only for everyone else.

Exactly. Im not exactly a pistol expert or anything. Heard anything about the XD series? Reviews generally seem to be good online. Seems to be a solid purchase for a woman who doesnt know a shotgun from a .40 cal handgun.

I'm not too familiar, but Springfield always came off as a quality company from other things I've seen.
