Complacency is not a form of safety, no matter how much we think we know. There is no room for error, only mistake. Glad you discovered it before the customer.

Almost didn't! The customers jaw almost hit the floor when the round ejected. Me? I almost crapped my pants.

Wouldn't and didn't matter in this case. I failed to rack the slide prior to allowing the customer to handle the weapon. While they are nice I guess, I don't trust the tactile indicators completely. Now, I can't trust myself!

It will be with me as well. This was horrible. So mad, angry, embarrassed and scared.
