how to use a 9mm handgun?

Question

if I have the trigger ****** and a bullet in the chamber, how do I de activate the trigger without firing the bullet?

Answer 1

Remove the magazine, then rack the slide back and the round in the chamber should eject out of the weapon.

Answer 2

PLEASE BE VERY CAREFUL.....

You should never load a weapon until you are very familiar with how to use it. I BEG you, do not become a sad story on the six o'clock news... Make sure there are no children around. Go somewhere safe. Away from anthing and anyone that could be injured.

What kind of handgun? Revolver or auto? I am going to presume it is an auto. most 9 mm's are. FIRST- drop the magazine out.Point in a safe direction. Perhaps there is a decock lever? If you are holding the gun in your right hand, there could be a lever right about where your thumb is. Pointing in a safe direction, thumb the lever, the hammer will be lowered safely.

If no decock, perhaps there is a slide mounted safety. It would be on the slide, near the rear most part of the weapon. Swing it downward and the hammer should lower safely.

Please get some help here. Have a knowledgeable person to help you. read the owners manual. Take a course at the sherriffs department.

Speaking for gun owners everywhere, please shoot safely and responsibly. There is nothing that compares to the tragedy caused by one second of inattention with a loaded weapon. No one wants that to happen. Be careful !!!

Best regards. Shoot safely and responsibly.

Answer 3

point it away from you, in a safe direction. then, put your thumb on the back of the hammer. put pressure on it and then, next step, squeeze the trigger gently. Your thumb will control the hammer fall and it will go back to the double action position.
double action means, your trigger finger pulls the hammer back (one action) and then, as you continue to squeeze, lets it drop down.
what you have done, is ****** your gun into a single action position.
So...thumb on the hammer, finger out of the trigger guard while you do this. Then, after you have a good solid grip on the hammer, pull the trigger gently. you must lower the hammer with your thumb at that point.
also, i agree. 9mm is not a very good hunting choice.
for deer, use a 7.62 high velocity hunting rifle, or, more preferred, a 308 caliber hunting rifle.
for squirrel, or rabbit, use a 22 long rifle.
wild boar, use the 7.62mm

be safe. point it away while you lower the hammer.
also, try this with the bullets out and get some pratice de-cocking a hammer before you load it again.

Answer 4

Stars to Acmeraven and Jason S. No way to tell which is more appropriate for your situation.
Autoloaders are for people with expertise. Once this crisis is resolved, please learn something about handguns, and stick to revolvers for a few years until you really develop some know-how, before you even think about picking up another autoloader. By then, you may have learned basic safety, and perhaps even the difference between a bullet and a cartridge. Guns are not toys.

Answer 5

That varies with the handgun. On Beretta style handguns the safety lever acts as a decocker, and moving the lever to the safe position lowers the hammer without discharging the weapon.

Answer 6

Listen Here , you should go thru some training at a gun range
first before you load that weapon . By your ? , you do not have
the expertise to safely handle it . So for your own safety and
everyone else's , please take the time to learn . Plus you might enjoy target competitions with the 9mm . Its a lot more
fun and advanced then hunting . Other guns are made for
the sport of hunting besides . It also depends on the game
that you will be hunting that determines the gun/weapon of
choice for that particular hunt .

Answer 7

take the magazine out and pull the slide back. the bullet will eject and then you hold onto the hammer and hold the trigger down. slowly let the hammer (while holding the trigger) down.

Answer 8

How to use a .9mm hangun??? The questions involves entirely too many factors to answer correctly. Which model .9mm??? Does you nine have a decocking device? Safeties? Why don't you just remove the magazine, rack the slide and manually drop the hammer? Does your nine even have an exposed hammer?

Good luck!

Answer 9

Put it down, leave the room and lock the door. Find a friend or neighbor who is a shooter and ask for a demonstration on "how to". Get a trained shooter to give you a few classes on firearms handling and matters related thereto.

Answer 10

First of all a 9mm for hunting is absolutely a poor choice, The handgun if your going to need it, is the heavier 44,cal magnum or the 357 with 8 inch barrell,. Much safer for field use. Consider it, you will have less accidents which could cause you some serious problems.
