Which 22 handgun?

Both Ruger and S&W tell you, in the manuals, not to rely on their LCI's, they tell you to pull the bolt/slide back and look into the chamber to verify.

I prefer the old-fashioned way of determining if the firearm is loaded, open the chamber and look. Helps if you have a number of different firearms to do it one way with all of them.

That is the method that I have used for many decades,and it works very well. When I set my Micro on the dresser for the night and pick it up in the morning, I check because that is the way I have always done it.
