Dumb question time, and I'm seeing my instructor later this week, but I'll ask now...
With the Kimber, to keep it in C&L condition, how do you safely drop the hammer after you have racked the round into the chamber? I have lowered the hammer on an *empty* gun for transportation (by keeping thumb on hammer and pulling trigger slowly), and once or twice it's "gotten away" from me with an audible "click" that would have been a very audible BANG! if a round had been in the chamber. (Please note that the gun, as always, was aimed in a direction where muzzle will destroy part of wall, or floor, not person, or leg, or foot - Rule # 2!!!)
Help?
