Correct use of a gun slip
Is there a correct way of carrying a gun in its slip?
Tony says: Yes. The slipped gun should be carried with the muzzles down. The gun slip is constructed with a reinforced muzzle end where the zip stops. The other end is secured with a zip or buckle. It is also good practice to open your gun before removing it completely from the slip. Once out, the barrels should be checked to ensure they are clear. When putting a gun into a slip, check the barrels are clear and then slide the barrels in and conduct a final check of the breech to make sure it is empty, before closing the gun and lowering the rest of the gun in. Then it goes over your shoulder with the muzzles down.
