Man shoots himself while drawing his pistol

[TDYRanger]

one gun, one setup. If it's all the same all the time; makes muscle memory failure a lot harder. At least in a single range day. But NBC is the best rule

NEVER
BE
COMPLACENT

BANG

Gawd Damn it I just shot myself!

[trlcavscout]

It was an (in and out) wound with a FMJ. If he was shooting a defense round Im sure the outcome would have been alot different.

Ya that was a joke


I have used the serpa's and thumb locks for Glocks. I prefer the serpa release, the safariland thumb lock rides better but is not as smooth or fast.

Good for him. Trigger finger seems to be a bad disease these days. Other day I was at the range, some ass clown was walking around at the ready with his finger on his AR. I had the gf with me and felt it was worth saying something to him. On my way to talk to him I was astonished to notice all the idiots who immediately put their fingers on the trigger as soon as they grab their weapons. Honestly I said something to the original guy then packed up and left. Hollywood, video games, or just jack assery has taught a lot of people a lot of bad habits. .02

DUPE

so what with the standing 1 foot from the target .it seems that if your that close to the target a punch or kick would be faster and more effective .

Dumbass + crap holster + gun = entertaining clip.

Dumbass: it has nothing to do with the safety, and in fact in a self defense role a firearm is better off without one anyway, just don't stick your ass scratcher into the bang switch when its aimed at your leg (in other words, don't curl your finger into the trigger guard as you're drawing the gun out, as we can all clearly see you do).

Crap holster: The SERPAs suck, its a well known fact. They encourage stupid things like your finger slipping into the trigger guard. I know of more than a few schools that don't allow the students to use SERPA crap.

Gun: Don't play with dangerous things unless you know how to use them, or are far away from bystanders.

Wow, that's one of those times where you see the video and say "holy sh*t"! He's pretty lucky though, considering the angle of that shot he could have done some pretty major damage if it had gone in below the knee and come out of his foot, mangling everything else on the way down.

Poor trigger discipline combined with what appears to be a too light trigger contributed to this incident. The safety had little to do with it. At least he takes responsibility for his mistakes.
