Alright we've got our Blackhawk all cleaned up. We've got it wiped down with the oil rag.
As you can see I've added my case. This is just a silicone impregnated case that I like
to store my handguns in before I store my guns into my safe. Before we put our firearm
up what I'm going to do is I'm going to do a final check to make sure that there is no
ammo inside our revolver. Now I haven't been working with ammo and I'm going to guess that
there is not, but I am going to do that just to start to learn and create a habit of firearm
safety after we've cleaned and prior to the storage of our firearm. What we're going to
do is I'm going to open my loading gate and I'm going to spin my cylinder. I'm not seeing any rounds and if you want
to you have an ejector rod here on your Blackhawk and as you spin your cylinder you can see
my ejector rod coming out of the cylinder and you can do that per cylinder just to make
sure that there may not be something else obstructing your chamber. You just do that
six times or as many times as you like, you know as many times that you would like to
see or so you know personally that you have a safe, unloaded, unobstructed firearm. Alright.
So now that I know that this is an unchambered firearm I'm going to take my oil rag and wipe
it down one more time because I have touched a few things and then I'm just going to hold
my firearm here in my left hand with my oil rag and I'm going to get my bag here ready
and I'm just going to unzip it the rest of the way and I'm just going to set my Blackhawk
into the bag. I like to set my frame down, the top of the frame into the bottom of the
bag. It's just a long wide end fit and you can tell it kind of fits with the overall
shape of the bag. I'm going to set that in there and I haven't touched my firearm. The
last thing it has touched is my lightly oiled rag and I'm just going to zip that case up.
Now this case has a little luggage lock on it as most hand gun cases and even rifle cases
do nowadays. What I like to do is I just latch this zipper to this bag and then I put it
in my safe. It lets me know I gave a little bit of extra care and a little bit of added
security in the safekeeping and storage of my firearm.
