Firearm Operation and Safe Handling

This section outlines the required safe handling demonstrations for commonly used handguns, including semiautomatic pistols, double-action revolvers, and single-action revolvers. Also, safe handling techniques for the majority of long gun varieties are included in this section. In the specification, to demonstrate safe handling, the firearm must be emptied and locked with the proper safety device. The firearm recipient is responsible for correctly and safely carrying out the safe handling demonstration steps for each type of firearm, all the while maintaining trigger discipline (the trigger finger is outside the trigger guard and alongside the firearm frame) and muzzle awareness (the firearm is pointed in a safe direction, preferably down at the ground). Based on your core knowledge of this topic, you can answer any question on firearm operations and safe handling regulations. In addition, mock tests are likely a great approach to improve your test-taking techniques and solidify your knowledge before the actual one. Our FSC practice test is structured into the same basic topics as the real exam, so candidates may familiarize themselves with the format and determine if they are prepared for the real thing or not.
