What's Rule #1?
And BTW, if you know anything about guns, you know that the magazine lips hold the round in the proper orientation to be stripped from the clip and inserted into the chamber regardless of the orientation of the gun. I could hold your gun upside down, on it's side, pointed down, pointed up, whatever. If I rack the slide, it will load, unless there is something seriously wrong with it.
Guns fired on a regular basis:
Sauer .32
Colt 1903 .32
Colt Army Special .32-20
Ruger Blackhawk .357
Springfield XD.45 Tactical
Remington Model 514 .22LR
Mosin Nagant Model 91-30
Mosin Nagant M44
Every single one of these guns will chamber a round in any orientation except for the .22, which doesn't have a magazine.
[EDIT], shit, I fucked up...the CAS .32-20 and Ruger are also exceptions, being that they are revolvers...[/EDIT]

If you wanna see more, click the picture in my signature. There's a mod list in that page, too, but it won't be current much longer. Pricing out installers to put in an INTENSE S1x cam, 1.6 Yella Terra roller rockers, and a GenV M90 blower.
Wanna know why a Park Avenue? Cause it's big, it's comfortable, and it's pretty quick for it's size.
If you want a picture of me, tough shit. I'm a fat fuck with man boobs, and that's all you need to know.
All that being said, you seem to have made it through the gauntlet and maintained your spirit. If the powers that be let you in, then Welcome.
BTW, Rule #1 is NEVER, EVER ASSUME THAT A GUN IS UNLOADED. Even if you just checked it five seconds ago, treat it as if it is loaded, locked, and on a hair trigger.
