How much is a Colt Walker?

Only 100 of these early Colts from 1847 were ever made for the civilian market, and this one is still in its original case. Rock Island Auctions set a new record last week when it sold a Walker Colt for a stunning $1.84 million.

How long can a black powder revolver stay loaded?

It doesn’t break down and many people have found that guns loaded well over 100 years will still fire. The Cap is what will go bad. If you protect the powder from oil or being inundated with water it will be good for centuries.

Will keeping mags loaded weaken spring?

When left loaded to full capacity and not used, most magazines will very slowly lose some amount of spring tension over time. Some springs may stay loaded for decades and still function, and others might wear out after a much shorter period of time.

Is it OK to store a gun with the slide back?

Yes you can store any semi-auto with the slide locked back. Armorer’s in the USAF and I’m sure other branches store their pistols with the slide locked to the rear. Remember that springs wear out due to cycles of compression and decompression. So to answer your question no, it is not a problem.

What happens if you rack the slide twice?

If you rack it a second time you are ejecting the round in the chamber and assuming there is another round in the magazine putting that in the chamber. Possible jam but most likely you just eject the chambered round and chamber another.

Can a gun shoot without a clip?

Yes, easily. Place a round in the chamber, close the slide or bolt, pull the trigger and the gun will fire, magazine or no magazine. A few newer pistols have a “magazine safety” that prevents the gun from firing without a magazine inserted, but otherwise it’s no problem.

Will a Glock fire without one in the chamber?

You should take comfort knowing that your Glock pistol can have a round in the chamber and be as safe as a gun without a round in the chamber. It is impossible to fire your Glock “without first pulling the trigger”.

Can a gun go off without a bullet in the chamber?

The simple answer to your question is, “No, pulling the trigger will not move one into the chamber.” You need to pull the slide with a loaded CLIP to chamber the first bullet, fire the gun, and the force from the shot moves the next bullet automatically into the chamber.
