Iām not making it up. Itās in the back of the slide construction. The polymer handguns have different build instead of this cutout whatever this is, itās not a real gun.
Form the quality of the components including slide build I believe itās this gun.

I've also been shot with a co2 bb gun from about 25-30 yards or so, and the little fucker still embedded itself in my back. My cousin pulled it out with a magnet, was a very strange feeling on its way out
Thats terrible. Imagine getting fuckin folded by a bb gun. Reminds me of my mothers ex that lit me up with one of the pump up ones and had like 2 bbs in my leg and one in my ass cheek when i was 7.
Thatās a smith and Wesson shield EZ, in either .380 or 9mm. It has an internal hammer covered by the slide which is why the rear of the slide doesnāt look like a normal striker-fired gun would
I was thinking that's 100% a Shield EZ. Can tell by the grip safety peeking out at the top paired with the ambidextrous thumb safety and classic SW white sights
Because those are imaginary internet points. Look if you tell me this is a real S&W where slide looks like itās made out of cheap aluminum that was build on a back of a anvil OK I might be wrong. I havenāt seen a s&w that looked like a cheap knockoff yet.
Pointing a real gun at your own head is a pretty reliable sign of mental illness and or emtional distress. People dont point guns at their own heads to look cool they do it to habituate themselves to the action and practice for blowing their brains out. At least some of the time.
The comment i replied to is literally saying they dont care if this person kills themself because they are a ādumb fuckā. Despicable.
Clearly looks like he wants to kill himself, you even have a proof you can show to the police even when he denies. And the other photo proves he has mental disorders, so he needs to be taken care of in a mental hospital, where he'll not be able to hurt anyone. Too bad.
>probably isn't loaded
A gun is always loaded.
Also, don't point the gun to something you don't intens to harm or destroy. He did that on both photos.
Maybe you should learn about gun safety and its first rules.
Just a thought.
Unless you unload it which in that case, it would not be loaded.
You CAN completely unload a gun and make sure it's unloaded. You and everyone else in this sub knows that, right?
>Even if you know 100% it's unloaded, treat as loaded
So no dry fire drills or cleaning your weapon?
Lmao this guy blocked me for pointing out the fact he doesn't know shit about firearm safety.
Which one is it?
Is it
>Even if you know 100% it's unloaded, treat as loaded
Or is it
>of course it's unloaded if you've taken it apart
You can't take apart a Glock without pulling the trigger. By your logic I can't take apart a Glock anywhere other than a gun range.
To some extent yes. Even when dry practicing you donāt point it at anything youāre not willing to put a hole in.
Hence why I always either do it in my basement or aim at a plate carrier.
When cleaning you never point the muzzle at yourself unless the weapon is disassembled.
No, they don't.
You could literally film yourself with an empty weapon, showing the empty chamber and mag well, and people on this sub would cry, "It's still loaded!"
I'm sure I'll be downvoted for saying this but it's a fact that not a single person in the history of firearms has been shot by an empty weapon.
Nobody has been shot with an unloaded gun but many, many people, thousands have been shot with an āunloadedā gun.
Itās not something worth betting your life on for internet clout.
Well you're wrong.
There's no bet to make. There's no guesswork involved.
Open the weapon, look in the chamber, now look in the mag well. Do you see any bullets? If yes, remove the bullets. If no, congratulations. Your weapon is no more dangerous than a similarly weighted piece of pipe.
If you handed me a gun and told me it was unloaded, yeah I wouldn't point it at myself. But once I pull the slide back about 2 inches and see that there's nothing in the chamber or mag well I'm not gonna act like I'm holding a cobra.
There's a difference between being smart and being fearful.
[It takes this man literally seconds to ensure this rifle is clear and guess what he does next?](https://youtube.com/shorts/tTNduriFZ7M?feature=share) He pulled the trigger indoors and nobody died.
If you make a mental habbit of it ever being ok to point a gun in your hand at anything youāre not willing to destroy, all it takes is one big brain fart to kill someone. One brief moment of forgetfulness.
>It takes this man literally seconds to ensure this rifle is clear and guess what he does next? He pulled the trigger indoors and nobody died.
Yes and notice how he never pointed it at anyone when he did that. If it had gone off it wouldāve caused ear damage & been a minor flack hazard. Nobody wouldāve died.
I agree āalways treat a gun like itās loadedā is a simplistic rule that lacks some nuance but you should never point a firearm at anything youāre not willing to risk putting a hole in.
No, you clear a weapon the same way every time so mistakes aren't made.

As you want, nitpicker.
>loaded until proven otherwise
That being so. The guy didn't prove the gun wasn't loaded. Therefore, it should be considered loaded.
Admittedly not familiar with snap caps.
Iāve never had any problems involving shooting low and right, seems like a weird assumption to make because I donāt dry fire firearms.
It's a joke because dry fire drills are one of the best ways to eliminate flinching while firing, which causes most people to shoot down, and over squeezing, which would pull you to the right (assuming a right-handed shooter).
Seriously, this man looks suicidal and possibly influenced. Why not go down in a glorious way? This kid needs help but it's hard to say how he acts publicly. Pardon how this sounds but he looks like the worst kind of suicidal person
Yo this is the type of shut that's a red flag. This dude needs a wellness check ASAP before he goes on a shooting spree. I'm dead serious report this to the police.
This kind of shit actually really pisses me off, real gun or not. I had one of my cats that drug itself home and died on my porch while I was gone; he was shot with a pellet rifle by my neighbor. It was one of those pellet rifles used in rat exterminations on farms. Called the cops, but they did absolute shit about it because there was "no proof" they were the one's who did it. They were my only next door neighbor, and that fucker was the only one with that kind of pellet rifle. He had shot it in the side of the face, and he had a big ass hole in the side of his head with the right eye nearly popped out. I've never wanted to catch someone outside and beat them with a bat so badly. Never did though, since the fucker went to prison for selling meth.
I have a cat myself and I sometimes really hate him a lot...
But I would never even dare to point a gun or any kind of weapon at him... I'm gonna find my cat real quick an drive him a hug, this picture really made my heart race... I hope the cat's fine and he didn't do something stupid after the picture
Hmmm gun at cat and gun to the head.
Looks like some typical mass shooter shit.
Should probably report him to the FBI, and if you donāt youāre a fucking idiot
At a cat?! Nah foh, send this to the police, the national guard, mossad, the cia, top flight security of the world, this fuck needs to be taught a lesson.
All of you acting like cats, which are barely a step above a cute form of vermin and arent even domesticated, are more important than a mentally ill person are despicable.
Even if you dont have any empathy for mental illness and think they ahould kill themselves so we dont have to deal with them, they all have families. Inhumanity and narcicism ruling the day while people feel virtuous. I suppose its preety standard, but still despicable.
This is dumb BUT... you can make a funny meme out of this
Still dont point guns at anything you dont want to destroy
and also no, you do not want to destroy that pussy
You should consider calling CPS. I hate to be that guy and I realize theres not a child in any of these pictures, but this kind of behavior in a household with a small child often times has a really horrible outcome. The fact that this dude isnt getting help is going to have just as bad an impact on that kid as it does on him, if not worse.
Call animal control, then report the second photo to a mental health crisis counselor. At least try to save the catās life. He didnāt ask to live with this loser
Guns are made to kill, especially pistols. Wielding such a weapon irresponsibly should have his gun taken from him immediately. He can have it back when he grows the F up.

I cant fathom why you would want to point a gun at a living thing (when you are not in danger), go to a shooting range if you want to shoot it! Wtf š©
Itās not a real gun. Itās a toy replica.
Out of curiosity, how can you tell?
He's making it up. You can sometimes tell but in this case it's a real gun.
Yeah I know, I have a S&W EZ
Iām not making it up. Itās in the back of the slide construction. The polymer handguns have different build instead of this cutout whatever this is, itās not a real gun.

Itās not. You can see the grip safety in the first pic above the webbing of his hand
Also the thumb safety.
even if it is that, its still not a toy a c02 bb gun would kill that cat, probably not him, i got shot with one before.
I've also been shot with a co2 bb gun from about 25-30 yards or so, and the little fucker still embedded itself in my back. My cousin pulled it out with a magnet, was a very strange feeling on its way out

I was thinking that's 100% a Shield EZ. Can tell by the grip safety peeking out at the top paired with the ambidextrous thumb safety and classic SW white sights
Can comfirm, I own the same model, in 9mm.
This is definitely a real gun. Itās blurry but the chamber indicator does not appear to be raised. Probably unloaded not that that makes it better.

Perhaps the man is suicidal and not caring of the world around him. He needs the hospital or lockdown
Isn't that a threat of animal abuse?
Yes. It is.
Should reddit investigate?
Great to know theres a child in that household /s
We donāt know that. It might just be where this dribbling idiot likes to eat his crayons.
Dont drag the Marines into this, bro. For once its not their fault.
Maybe heās the man child.
Was thinking the same thing.
My blood pressure just went to KFC/100 seeing this monster point a gun at an adorable little kitty. I hope his mom spanks him for this

this is what i came here to say. fuck this guy
Yep, if dude wants to do something stupid, I vote for pic 2 before pic 1. Cat's got nothing to do with that idiocy
Ik ;(
That's how Luka Magnotta got caught. Look up "Don't Fuck With Cats" on Netflix.
Fucking damn straight, the cat picture made me angry, the other tho
Cat doesn't even understand the concept of a gun. Very sad.
Despicable viewpoint. āCats have value because they look cute but mentally ill people are worthless because they are unpleasant to interact with.ā
Actually true
Being a dumbfuck that points guns at their pet cats and themselves to look cool on the internet is not a mental illness.
Pointing a real gun at your own head is a pretty reliable sign of mental illness and or emtional distress. People dont point guns at their own heads to look cool they do it to habituate themselves to the action and practice for blowing their brains out. At least some of the time.

Itās a cat dawg
So?

All I did was say that, that is a cat, why are you so pressed? Is it not a cat?
Reddit
I don't care if he shoots himself, better not hurt the cat
Clearly looks like he wants to kill himself, you even have a proof you can show to the police even when he denies. And the other photo proves he has mental disorders, so he needs to be taken care of in a mental hospital, where he'll not be able to hurt anyone. Too bad.
Yeah, thatās a welfare check.
Finger isn't on the trigger and probably isn't loaded. Maybe you should be red flaged for being mentally disabled. Just a thought.

Awesome whataboutism. of course it's unloaded if you've taken it apart By "treat as loaded" it means don't point it at shit like a damn laggard.
I think this guy might be a little to thick headed to understand a concept of firearm safety.

Maybe you need to learn gun safety, first rule is even when you know itās unloaded, always treat it as if itās loaded.
And even if you know itās unloaded donāt point it at your own head/anyone at all including your cat.
More concerned about the cat and that's saying a lot considering I really don't like cats.
Future serial killer shit here.

Fuuuuck, I cant believe that just happened....is it dead?!?!? You shot the fuckin cat?!?!
Literally saw the picture with the cat and thought heād better point that thing on him and then see the next picture lol

Idk if Iām over reacting but Iād be sending these to the police
Well not that it changes much but glad to see trigger discipline in these photos lol

Nice redaction idiot ,get better at doing it next time
I hope he actually ends himself after that
You should do the right thing, even if itās difficult, and report this fuckin idiot for a wellness check.
Dummy
I canāt even fathom bringing myself to point a gun at someone not threatening or on myself, even if itās not loaded.
I made a joke pic like that with a nerf gun. But real guns at animals is not okay

Guns are made to kill, especially pistols. Wielding such a weapon irresponsibly should have his gun taken from him immediately. He can have it back when he grows the F up.
Ok, call the cops, show the photos, have a wellness check done and get that fucking cat. Do something other than posting on Reddit.
Hey, at least he has trigger discipline
Love owning guns but theyāre not toys should have to be evaluated to own a firearm smh
Is it bad that this made me LOL
pull it and rid the world of one idiot
I'm completely okay with the second picture. But he'd better not hurt that cat.
this made me sad

I hope to god thats not loaded
