Firearms Terms
  

These firearms terms are only a partial list to help you with your firearms term search.

We are trying to get as many gun related products on one website to save you time, and help you locate just the item you are looking for.

 

Letter "E"

Ear plugs -- A type of hearing protection which fits inside the ear canal.

Earmuffs -- A type of hearing protection which completely covers both ears and is usually attached to a headband (sometimes to a neckband rather than a headband). See also Muffs, Electronic.

Ears -- Casual slang for hearing protection (muffs or plugs).

Ejection Port -- The opening through which the empty, spent ammunition case is cast out of a firearm.

Ejection Rod -- A sliding metal dowel located at the muzzle end of a revolver cylinder. The rear end of the ejection rod holds the star, which contacts the case rims when the gun is loaded. After firing, the shooter opens the cylinder and depresses the front end of the ejection rod, causing the star to shove the empty cases out of the cylinder. See the article titled Load and Unload Revolvers for more information.

Ejector -- The part of a firearm responsible for tossing the empty case out of the ejection port.

Electronic Hearing Protection -- See Muffs, Electronic.

Electronic Muffs -- See Muffs, Electronic.

External Safety -- A safety which is placed on the outer surfaces of the firearm and is accessible to the user. Not all external safeties require user attention. For instance, a grip safety is an external safety, but requires no deliberate act on the part of the shooter in order to do its job.

Extractor -- The part of a firearm responsible for grabbing the empty case by its rim and yanking it out of the chamber as the slide travels rearward.

Extreme rake -- The angle at which the gun is held on the belt by the holster is called the rake, thus a holster with an extreme rake is one which holds the gun at a sharper angle than other designs by the same maker. The exact angle this refers to will vary from maker to maker.


“This class was very informational. I think before citizens are able to purchase a firearm they should be required to take this class. By being in this class I was able to learn my rights as a firearm owning citizen.

The class was perfect, it included an instructional video and there was material available for hands on learning. The instructors were very involved and really cared that you were able to understand the materials covered in the classroom. The instructors used real life scenarios that helped class retain material.”
Rodney Reddick

“This class is a very good class. It help me learn a lot of stuff, like safely. I feel good about this class.”
Shane Howell

“This class is great for the understanding and confidence in using a handgun. The instruction of the class helps you determine when and what you need to do in case any situation arises. As far as things to do better for the class, I would say keep everything the same. All points were explained as needed and were given opportunity to ask and get questions answered.”
