still, the gun isn't clear if it isn't clear. twice or three times, in my book.

I think Glock has done the world a favor by being a very unforgiving gun in the hands of complete idiots. They are totally safe, reliable and accurate guns. But they don't suffer fools very well. I always carry mine with one in the pipe and in a thumb break holster. I dropped it on the garage floor while loading up the bike a few mos. ago. It landed square on the rear of the slide, where the hammer would be on other pistols. Muzzle was pointing right at my face. No bang. And since I always carry with one in the pipe, I don't even think of unholstering that gun before planning to drop the mag and clear the chamber. It's as natural as breathing for me.

entrance wound in palm, exit wound in the back. you can see some muzzle flash on the palm along with explosive gas damage. the star shape on the back of the hand is from the skin tearing as the bullet exits.



nasty.

Yup XDs are the same way.... You have to pull the trigger to release the slide. I triple check, and still find a safe direction to point mine before I pull the trigger.

i think on a glock..(i have one, but my memory is waning) you have to have the firing pin/hammer dropped prior to disassembly right? so you actually need to dry-fire it? i'm new to glocks. i still need to run the drill a few more times.

any gun, i need a visually clear chamber.

[Rick Lee]

Yes, you have to dry fire it before removing the slide. Still no excuse whatsoever for not clearing the gun before you get that far. None. And even if you didn't, you should still have muzzle discipline. But then if you're already so careless as to not clear the gun, well....

agreed. the guy with the hole in his hand..is not smart.

I'm still trying to figure out how you shoot yourself in the hand. On the bright side, I suppose he's lucky he wasn't firing hollow points. The wound to his hand looks relatively superficial.

[Jim Bremner]

So, What pistol did he ND with?

[fastfredracing]

Meet pebbles, and bam bam.

[fastfredracing]

I think it said it was a Kimber

[Jim Bremner]

dumbass. if the slide isn't back and you haven't chamber checked with your pinky. IT'S LOADED!

[Joe Bob]

[fastfredracing]

I'm sure you guys have all seen this one . Caution , he drops the f bomb.

I know what you're thinking. "Did he fire six shots or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you've got to ask yourself one question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?
