The elbow or side carry is especially comfortable with which kind of firearm?

A break action, carried open with the barrel pointing down.

  1. A pump action
  2. A bolt action
  3. A break action ✔

Why: The open break action hangs over your forearm with the barrel pointing down. Others can easily see the action is open and the gun is safe. It is not a good carry with someone in front of you.

Huh, didn't know that: The elbow carry is also called the side carry.

The dad joke
Why did the elbow tell the best jokes? It knew how to hit your funny bone.
