with the .25. with the mag out of the gun. why? as long as the chamber's empty, you can dryfire it. Anyway, he' feels something is "off" about the way it's pointing. holding the gun motionless (:-) in a one hand point at belt level, he moves his head down to where he can look thru the sights (TRY that sometime! ) and notices that the gun is pointing a bit 'high'. He therefore concludes that this is due to the difference in weight, caused by the removal of the 2 ozs of ammo and the mag. :-) The Jetfire weighs just 10 ozs, you know! :-) He had removed the 'too-thick" stock panels and had simply wrapped the frame with tape. Why bother? There's no loose parts, and the exposed little doddads that catch the slide and move the recoil springs (in their little channels on the frame) might get hung up on the gum from the tape one day.
Bond supposedly carried his .25 in a Berns-martin 'triple draw" shoulder rig, but the BM was made for revolvers. So it would have had to be a very much custom made item. It's been over 50 years since I read those books and i can still remember laughing about the point-shooting bs.
