When someone asks to try your expensive gun

[Alan]

There's always that moment of hesitation when someone wants to shoot your nice rifle or custom 1911. You want to be generous, but you're also calculating in your head whether they'll break it or shoot terribly and blame the gun. Usually I say yes but give a quick safety brief first. Most people are respectful, but that one time someone wasn't taught me to be more selective

When I let folks try out my nicer rifles, I always stand right next to them and load just one round at a time. That way, I can protect my gear and keep things safe. Most people appreciate a little guidance.

I'm still okay with others shooting my nicer guns, but I also keep an eye on them and explain how things work first.

Depends on the person, of I know them and they've been around guns I'm not as worried as when it someone newer to shooting. Most of my stuff isn't too expensive but it never hurts to make sure they understand what you're handling them before you hand it over

Great point!
