X-FrameThe frame designation that Smith and Wesson uses for their extra large framed revolvers like the S&W Model 500 and S&W 460XVR X-Mark ProA trigger system designed by Remington Arms Company. 17 Other Firearms Definitions You Need To KnowGripThe portion of the stock (on a rifle) or frame (on a pistol) gripped by the trigger hand. Shot SizeThe size of the pellets in a shotgun shell. EjectorA spring-activated mechanism for the ejection of ammunition or and empty shell casing. On doubles, each barrel has a separate ejector. MagnumFrom the Latin for "more." A term indicating a relatively heavily loaded metallic cartridge or shotshell and a gun safely constructed to fire it. It generally indicates a round which cannot be interchanged with other loadings of the same caliber (for example, a .22 Magnum shell does not fit within a firearm designed to fire .22 Long Rifle ammunition). CheckeringA regular pattern of fine grooves cut into the surface of a stock to aid in gripping a gun. Originally done for utility only, checkering has become an art form in itself; craftsmen adorning the borders with ribbons, fleur-de-lys, floral carving, etc. The amount of coverage, the precise regularity, and the number of lines per inch indicate the quality of the work. Too-fine checkering, however, defeats the purpose of the work altogether. Gas PortA small hole in the barrel of a gas-operated firearm through which expanding gases escape to power the autoloading system. EDCAbbreviation for Every Day Carry Twilight SightA rifle front sight with a extra-large, folding bead. Typically, in addition to the normal fine bead (which allows for more precision) the larger bead, while at a cost of potential accuracy, is more readily acquired in marginal light. Also called a Gloaming sight Buttplate (Butt Plate)A plate which covers the butt. Some steel buttplates have trap doors covering a recess for storage of cleaning equipment. Gas OperatedThe superheated air created by burning powder. A gas-operated firearm is one that uses the energy from these superheated gases to work the action in semi-automatic and automatic guns. Hang FireAn unexpected delay between the triggering of a firearm and the ignition of the propellant. This failure was common in firearm actions that relied on open primer pans, due to the poor or inconsistent quality of the powder. Modern weapons are susceptible, particularly if the ammunition has been stored in an environment outside of the design specifications. Reloaded ammunition may also be the cause if not reloaded properly Double TapTwo shots fired in rapid succession. Generally without getting a new sight picture on the target. If the second shot is fired after a second sight picture is captured it may instead be called a controlled pair. Six O'Clock HoldA sight picture of when the center of the target rests on top of the front sight when the sights are properly aligned. Also see center hold and cover hold. Trigger PullThe entire process of moving the trigger from its forward-most position to its rearward-most position, causing the hammer to fall and the shot to fire. FrameThe common part of a handgun to which the action, barrel and grip are connected. WTIAbbreviation for Wound Trauma Incapacitation. LCAbbreviation for Long Colt |
