*Bang* *Bang*
“nice”

“uh…”
“Did you bump fire it?”
“I don’t think so…”
*BangBangBang*
“right”
/me drops the magazine and makes clear
The owner sends a message to the manufacturer asking for a shipping label.
Nothing attracts the range officer like a gun going BRAAAP instead of bang.
I had a new to me Ruger Mk.I do this because the sear spring was VERY weak.
Easily repaired, but disconcerting.
The range officer and a police officer who happened to be shooting there both talked to me. Both accepted that I didn’t know why it was doing that, but I was done shooting it until I did.
Fortunately, this was at a private range, so I didn’t have to answer those kinds of uncomfortable questions.
