    Default I get to be left handed for a while!



    +



    =





    I tried drawing my gun. It doesn't work and it sucks. I also tried switching one of my IWB holsters to left hand. That was a mess as well. Fortunately it's not broken, and I should only have this splint for 7-10 days. I was totally mentally prepping myself to do the next Clear Creek match left-handed.

    I've actually fractured my hand before, and it didn't hurt near as bad as this did. I swore in front of children, and then had to go lay on the dirty floor near drinking fountains to keep from vomiting. I also heard/felt a sick "pop" when it happened.

    After getting wrapped up at the Trauma Center (sounds a bit dramatic), we went back to Monkey Bizness and spent a few more hours there. When it happened, it was my first pass down the slide and we had only been there for like 20 minutes.

    Dang that sucks! hope the recovery is quick!

    I guess there are upsides to not being able to be within 100 yards of a school or a chuckie cheese!
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    Depending on what you carry, I have a spare lefty holster for a 1911. I'd let you borrow it.

    Holy Geesus!



    you are totally not allowed to open a thread like that anymore.

    I half expected this to be about how you got a free porn subscription or you wife being out of town.

    Thanks for the offer jmg8550, but I don't carry a 1911.

    I was trying to keep my shirt down as I went down the slide in a manner that was against the rules posted on the sign. When I got to the bottom, while traveling at about 370mph, my body whipped around while my hand was wrapped up in my shirt. It apparently did bad things to my thumb. This is the same reason I stopped doing back flips off of swings at the play ground while carrying. Always having to keep that shirt down.
