I ALWAYS count . . that's the first lesson I learned when I was taught how to shoot revolvers 50 + years ago. I was also taught that the muzzle always points "down range".

If in doubt - point down range and open the cylinder if it has a swing out - LOOK at the primers - we all know what a spent cartridge is supposed to look like. If it is a SA - point down range and open the loading gate - run the cylinder around by hand and LOOK at the primers . . .

Pointing at the ground and dry firing is an accident waiting to happen . . . if this is how people are now checking . . . I hope to @$#%% I'm never standing next to you.

Sorry if that sounds "hard" . . . but be SAFE.
