Epic range fail

If you load that way you will save on rounds and save money

Come on, admit it, that's actually your gun in the picture, isn't it?

Somebody needs a wheel gun.

LOL, Oh I would own up to it if It was, god knows I've almost put my PPS mags in backwards...good thing they don't go in. That's why Walther >>> Taurus.

Same issue with I am pretty sure same model on my last range duty day at Oakdale. We emptied the mag after we cleared it and reinserted it both ways. It was amazing how easy it inserted backwards.

Interesting....I didn't think it was possible to insert a magazine backwards in ANY pistol. Guess I haven't seen every model out there...

Now wait a minnit!! If you load the mag backwards, and then insert the mag in the gun backwards, the boolits will be pointing forward and feed just fine!!

Just kidding!!!

I just traded my 709 slim for a 740 slim, same gun different cal., so upon reading this post I went to see how this cold be done, first I dropped a round backwards into the chamber, looks just like the picture, then I tried to stuff a mag in backwards and it was a no go,only about halfway. There was no way cartridges would have fed out of the mag backwards.
Next I tried loading the cartridges in the mag. backwards and this worked slicker than snot and they fed right out of there with a flick of the thumb.
They either had a loose rnd. in there or one in the mag. backwards. (just my conclusions).

Naahhhh... From the description of the uncomprehending stare that these people gave the OP, I think it's highly likely they were totally clueless and loaded the whole mag backwards....

[old guy]

I spect you're right, they sure load easyer that way.

hahaha!!!"
its scarry to think that those might be the people next to me at the range.

Exactly why public ranges make me nervous. All it takes is one idiot and one round...

Agreed, besides, if the mag was in backwards I don't think the slide would be able to strip a round. They can go in the mag both ways, but they can only come out of the front.
