JeffCo Deputy Disables Assailant's Pistol with a "One in a billion" Shot

Jeffco deputy cleared in Aurora shooting at attempted robbery suspects

One of Marquez’s bullets struck Meshesha’s pistol, traveling straight down that gun’s barrel and disabling it. Police called the shot “one in a billion.

The weapon associated with the January 2016 shooting of an off-duty Jefferson County sheriff's deputy is seen with a bullet lodged near the barrel. It was determined that one of the shots that Deputy Marquez fired from his .45 caliber handgun actually hit Meshesha’s .40 caliber handgun and traveled down the barrel.

I'd be like: "I meant to do that."

Pretty cool.

That is terrific luck!

And please note that the slide was not blown out from the frame...
And it is a polymer frame (I believe THIS puts the old debate steel frame is better than polymer frame to rest).
Got I like my XDM!

So what's his new nickname? Boresnake?

With a rather tight squeeze.

This is amazing, I kind of want to get a junker pistol and try to make that shot.

Wow.
