Do you really need a clearing bucket, Jow Forums? I usually just rack the slide on my guns to clear them but would discharging that chambered round into a bucket be a better approach?
I just stumbled across this video and it had me wondering.

I don't think you're actually supposed to shoot the gun empty OP.
Just clear it safely with the barrel pointed in the bucket, just in case.
it's a safety net for absolute autists who are self aware of their condition so need to take steps above and beyond to prevent retardation of a finger slipping out of their anus and into the trigger guard of a loaded gun by accident while clearing
I don't know man, my clearing log has been good enough.
The only thing more autistic than having a literal clearing bucket is not understanding that a clearing bucket is simply meant to be an added redundant safety measure for firearms that require a trigger to be pulled for basic administrative actions such as disassembly. There are many similar practices and products in common usage such as mobile safe directions and the concept of always keeping your firearm pointed in the safest available direction.
Following these things on top of your normal safety procedures will only make you less likely to behave in an unsafe manner.
You're supposed to put your clearing log into a clearing sink
>FULL BIRD COLONEL gets out of his convoy, half asleep, goes to clearing barrel, racks slide, round flies out, mag still in, BANG, wtf? BANG! BANG! BANG! "sir you need to drop the mag". many such cases.
Seems like a good idea for deckocking hammer-fired handguns without a deckocker.
If you have a giant range like a .mil range, sure maybe. But out behind your house? No thank you. My clearing barrel is down range. I just do a functions check that general way.
I used a clearing bucket briefly but the neighbors kept calling the cops on me. Not worth the hassle
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
THIS FUCKING THREAD AGAIN
It's been like a year guys, we were doing so good.
I work in a gun store that has a clearing station. While none has gone off, we have caught live rounds in it because people are dumb fucks "nah man it clear" .
For personal use, I'd only consider a clearing station only if you live like in apt with no safe direction to clear
Great thread.
Fucking this
How much of a tard are you that you cannot safely manipulate your hammer drop, much less without a round in the chamber? I could understand under stress, but when you have all the time in the world? At any rate, half-cock master race.
The BOLIS :DD has them because a fair deal of cops dont actually like guns, more still are retards in general.
I guy I know was too lazy to remove the mag ALL THE WAY before racking and pulling the trigger.
>How much of a tard are you that you cannot safely manipulate your hammer drop
Shit happens, that's exactly why decockers exists in the first place.
>much less without a round in the chamber?
I meant with a round in the chamber, obviously.
They have clearing buckets in military camps.
Barrels of sand.
I hate sand
Pocket sand.
Yankee marshal is a literal faggot retard. I hate seeing him in my recomended and related videos
Don't worry. When all the gun channels are gone you won't have to worry about him showing up in between your logan paul and buzzfeed videos.
But it's coarse
And rough
And gets everywhere
Yes, fine, sweaty fingers under stress can slip a hammer. That still gives no reasoning for the bucket. I advocate rather a visual and physical chamber check with the mag fully removed instead of racking the slide 5 times and blindly pulling the trigger into a sand bucket.
Like you said, shit happens and a round remaining in the gun even after multiple slide racks is not unheard of.
But now we have clearing logs in clearing sinks user, we now have a way to fight back!
How hard is it to drop mag, rack several times, then visually inspect the chamber to confirm clear? Holy fuck
In my damn beretta, jamming my mags.
>Yes, fine, sweaty fingers under stress can slip a hammer. That still gives no reasoning for the bucket.
Dude. Imagine you want to decock a handgun at your home with a round in the chamber for whatever reason, let's say because it's your CCW and you were doing dry fire practice.
With a bucket, you don't need a decocker for this. Point the gun at the bucket, even if you fuck up and the hammer slips out you iwll just discharge into a pile of sand.
>inb4 why not just have a decocker
Maybe because someone prefers to have a manual safety instead. If all those things are true then the bucket does serve a decent purpose.
saged and reported.
do not reply to yankee marshal threads, just sage and move on.
>Be innafortjackson
>Have clearing buckets outside of dfac
>Some trainee shot it
>Drill sergeant didn't get mad because that's what it's for
>For mad at the trainee for basciallt having a round in the chamber since they last shot
>clearing bucket
What fucking level of retardation is this? How fucking hard is to drop the mag and do a chamber check? If I saw anyone using a "clearing bucket" to ensure they've made their weapon condition 4, I'd no shit shoot the fucker in the back of the head.
Nobody needs a fucking clearing bucket. Just clear your gun like a normal person.
hi baiting user.
In light of the current state of k, your bait has changed grade from the D- you earned last time to a respectable C. Carry on.
This. I hate it too because his video thumbnails look similar to the ones used by h3h3 so I always accidentally click on his instead.
>round in chamber
>dry fire practice
Clearing buckets are for fingertrap owners. I learned how to properly unload my pistol on Penis Inspection Day (tomorrow by the way) but I guess Glockfags didn't.
Why wouldn't you have a clearing bucket?
>reinforces good safety habits
>metal bucket costs a dollar
>sand costs nothing
>pulls quintuple duty in the following capacities
Clearing Bucket
Ash Tray
Garbage Can
Potted Plant (Probably Cactus)
Secret Stash Buried Inside Sand Bucket
Noise and ammo cost.
