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 "O"

Off hand -- To fire while standing, without bracing against a bench, bipod, tree, or any other rest.

Off hand -- The non-dominant hand.

Open Sights -- The most common type of iron sights. Open sights are called open because the rear sight is an open-topped U or a V or a square-notch shape, in contrast to the closed circle commonly found in aperture sights .

Out of Battery -- Most firearms do not have literal batteries. But a semi-automatic is said to be out of battery when the slide fails to come all the way forward again after the gun has fired. This condition can be created by a misfeed, a dirty gun, weak springs, the shooter's thumbs brushing against the slide, riding the slide, or any of several other causes.

Over / Under -- A shotgun with two barrels which are vertically aligned with each other, one on top of the other.

Over-travel -- Immediately after the trigger break which fires the shot, the trigger should be unable to move any further to the rear. If it is able to continue moving to the rear after the shot has fired, the trigger is said to over-travel.


“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.”
