    Glock leg today at Glock Range

    Just heard that a guy shot himself in the leg at the Glock range in GA. Glock leg at the Glock range....classic. No link at moment.

    I have three Glocks and like them a lot.....not a hater here

    Eta: saw it on the news here in atlanta but can't find a link. Sorry

    Could happen to anyone. Now have a "Glock leg" with a "Ka-Boom" at the same time then you got something. Takes a lot to impress me.

      I bet he was the only one qualified to handle a Glock Fo-Tay as well.

            Didn't someone from calguns shoot himself in the leg when going to clean his glock?
            The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)"

                Yeah. Put a .45 slug thru his leg. He posted photos from the surgery.

                I wonder what happened to him?

                I donated some primed .45 ACP cases to his reloading efforts.

                Fewer people are killed with all rifles each year (323 in 2011) than with shotguns (356), hammers and clubs (496), and hands and feet (728).

                  And it's stories like this, that you never hear about any other gun, that keep me from buying a Glock.

                    Probably using a Serpa holster and blames it on that

                      LOL. Nice try. You shouldn't own ANY gun if you don't know how to properly handle it without shooting yourself in the leg when working from a holster.

                      There are plenty of stories of people shooting themselves with all kinds of guns, not just Glocks.

                        Yea I thought I saw that here. That's was some pretty nasty stuff. I wonder what happened to him as well.

                            I'm not saying that it doesn't happen but have you ever heard of Sig Leg, Springfield Leg, Beretta Leg, Colt Leg...?

                            NDs happen to any gun. They just sure seem to happen significanly more with Glocks. Maybe it's the fan base they draw

                            All I know is that I'd rather buy a car make and model that doesn't have a history of exploding in a great ball of fire than one that seems to have a catastrophic failure every month. Just me though I suppose.

                              Maybe too many syllables?





                              Or is it b/c they malfunctioned too often? Not a fan of the channel but he brings up data.
