Accidental Shooting

Cameon had the unthinkable happen last May. Take a watch, and be careful.

Well, that's a sobering lesson.

Wow, bad deal for that young lady. Good on her for making that video. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for sharing. Hope she can recover further.

I just talked to her as we posted this video several places today. She is going to have a rough day for sure, but I am proud of her tenacity. The person she bought the gun from had it explained to him what he did, since I have been asked that several times already. Cameon's Insurance carrier, nor she, chose to pursue any action against him. That said, this is not the only occurrence of this I am aware of.

Beware the dremel, bypassing safeties and make sure to have GSW/Trauma kits with you when you hit the ranges.

Is it possible to share what was done to the gun that resulted in the ND occurring so folks like me who can't watch the 10 minute video can better understand what caused it?

It was not an ND as her hand was not even on the gun when it went off. It was an AD.

The sear was dremeled (she shows a good and hers in the video) which allowed the striker to slip off the sear. Also, the geometry of the installed parts was such that the striker block was never engaged. This allowed the striker to move forward to the primer without the trigger being pressed. So it was really two bad mistakes. She was having dead triggers prior, but they thought it was an ammo issue.

The video said that the Sear in the M&P Pro had been modified.

Yes, the sear was dremeled.
