Another Glock Leg?

[johnny_boy02]

Didn't calgun member had AD as well few years ago while cleaning his weapon...just have to be smart and careful.

I remember someone here shooting themselves in the leg. Don't remember the gun model or brand though.

a painful reminder to use extra caution when handling a glock or one of its cousins.

Perhaps this is the guy who moved to the dark side and started training with glocks. I wonder if his first name starts with a T.

This is way I like the decocker feature on a sig

Anyone who thinks this can't happen to them, are the ones this'll happen to.

Words to live by.

I love Glocks, but I'm not an idiot. Whether your gun has an external safety or not, you NEED to be VERY deliberate about holstering your weapon. Each time I holster, I do it very slowly and carefully, while watching it with my eyes. After all, there's never any reason someone should ever need to holster a weapon quickly.

It could still happen... decocking it doesn't mean you can be less careful about holstering your weapon.

One of the best reasons not to appendix carry without a external safety

Are these AD's the result of negligent practice of technical malfunction. I remember seeing an old article about this being an issue with 45 caliber Glocks . . anyone want to share more information this?

[Chapped Hide]

Why are you guys referring to this as an AD It wasn't an accident!

But but but but kalifornia has said glocks are safe pistols. Am I to believe now that safety is a function of user not mechanical devices on said pistol?

Yes. It was a Glock.

I believe that was a Kimber. Probably not one of the rusty ones.

They are a result of negligence or stupidity. The problem with stupid people is they don't know they are stupid (see my lower signature line). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunnin...3Kruger_effect

All Glock pistols are basically the same. Caliber makes no difference - unless stupid people are ore inclined to buy 45 cal pistols.

A few months ago, a fellow at a CA gun range bent over to pick up something from the ground. His holstered pistol discharged, shooting a round into his leg. It seemed that his shirttail was entangled with the trigger of his pistol. A Glock, or some striker-fired pistol. For me, it's SAO forever. As I recall, the fellow was an instructor.

I believe it was a Sig.

I remember a post a few years back of a Calgunner who if I remember correctly was cleaning his 1911 in his basement and shot a 230gr HP into his leg- had pics after back from hospital and believe went through and through one leg and into other leg as well or something like that- I still remember the pics after returning from hospital and really gruesome.

This thread is why I will never purchase a blackhawk serpa holster...the black hawk epoch holster is way safer to use. you use your thumb to disengage the holster safety system not your trigger finger.
