Our ccw instructor taught us something too. Upon re-assembling the weapon MAKE SURE THE WEAPON IS UNLOADED and pull the trigger. Keep the trigger held back (don't release the pull) and rack the slide. After racking the slide, slowly release the trigger pull. You should feel a little click and you should be able to hear an audible click also. If this is the case, it seems as though it was put back together correctly and should fire.

I in NO WAY claim this is surefire and the safest means to do so, I'm just passing along instruction my CCW teacher gave to us.

Again, MAKE DOUBLE SURE IT'S UNLOADED if you do this.
