Narrative:

After taking some friends for a ride, entered my downwind. Proceeded with my prelndg checklist (gumps). Downwind, I put my gear lever into the down position, got my (green light) gear down light. On my final I did another gumps, paying attention to my green light or gear down indicator. I had my gear down light and indication. Proceeded with my landing, thinking that it would be a normal landing. I had no gear warning advisory. I had a green light, all indication that the gear was down and locked. At the time of landing and the subsequent slide, there were no injuries. All passenger exited the aircraft under their own power, and refused all help. I feel that I was not at fault. All indications were showing I had a down and locked landing gear.
