When AZDOC switched from S&W M65s to Glock 19s, THREE range masters shot themselves…in the hands. Never heard anything more about it while working there.
Years later I found out DOC had called one of my instructors, to be an expert witness against Glock and their "poorly designed firearm". Took him several minutes to get past the "guns just went off" to the part of the story where they had been shot in the hand…each by themselves. He simply asked...
"Is it Department of Corrections policy that a person's own hand is a safe direction to point the muzzle of a firearm?" <lmao> <laughs>
As he tells it "All the sudden they didn't want me to be an expert witness anymore."
