Handgun Safety Tip: Never cover your ejection port!
From Rio Salado Sportsman's Club:
We had a detonation today at the match. As sometimes happens, the ejected round came back and the primer hit the ejector and exploded. The shooter was trying to catch his round by covering the ejection port rather than letting it fall safely to the ground. He got lucky and only hurt one of his fingers, but thankfully not seriously. I know some people were taught that method but IT IS A BAD AND UNSAFE PRACTICE. Never Cover the Ejection Port when Showing Clear. Also, if you see others do that, please call them aside and remind them to just let the round fall. It is not worth the risk.
