COBrien Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just saw this come across my screen... http://kfor.com/2017/05/09/officials-man-injured-after-accidentally-shooting-self-in-hand-at-gun-range/ Curious as to the facts here. Not saying he was trying anything funny, but I'm also very much aware of the fact that most situations referred to as "accidental" discharges are actually negligent discharges due to poor trigger and/or muzzle discipline. I'm just glad no one else was injured. Be careful out there, folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Just hit the range yesterday. Fortunately empty except for my son and I. The way I like it. He knows gun safety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted May 10, 2017 Report Share Posted May 10, 2017 Want to take bets on whether or not this was a Glock takedown? I always hated that the trigger had to be pulled to remove the slide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what the brand proper training and safety procedures need to be followed with firearms. Darwin will intervene otherwise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticReason Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) That was one of the things that turned me off on glocks. Love my Sig P320! "Accidental shooting" or ND, I'm still pretty sure that no one likes getting shot. 1 hour ago, edgecrusher said: Drop magazine, rack slide three times, physically check it is empty. Every time.

survivalshop Posted May 11, 2017 Report Share Posted May 11, 2017 (edited) Shot himself in the Hand ? More like he was fast drawing & pulled the Trigger & his support hand got in front of the Barrel instead of sliding in from behind & underneath . I shot at a Deer with my 44 mag. Dan Wesson & my support hand ( with Glove ) wrapped around the Cylinder instead , at the Barrel gap ( too far forward ) instead of around my grip hand & the blast went right through my glove . Powder Burns on my hand & man did that smart , lucky I had gloves on & totally missed the Deer I jumped .
