Phew!! Jim, you bragged and bragged on Dez Young and how he closed his guns and when I showed you how he closed them you got mad again. I close my gun exactly as he does. Take a look again. All these people tell and show you the proper way to do something and you call everyone idiots. Common sense tells you that holding a lever over keeps the closing of the gun from pushing the lever over and prevents more wear. Maybe not that much more, but it has to help some. So I will still close mine as the gunsmiths told me personally and that's that, guy. Calling the most reknown people in the gun world idiots only shows that you keep putting your foot in your mouth again. Sorry about your luck. As I said, it's a matter of choice and I'll hold the lever over when I close my shotguns and hold the button to close a handgun rather than just slapping them shut like you said you do. I like being a little more gentle than that...... And as far as closing a car door- when a car door is opened, the two jaw-like clamps on the door pop open and stay that way, then you shut the door, they snap back around the pin on the frame of the car. Some have one clamp and some have two clamps in the door. You might want to check this out the next time you open your car door, guys. Car doors have pretty much always been like this. Mainly to save wearing out the clamp on the door. Just like on a gun. IF you hold the lever over.
