Wowwie!!!

Saw a youtube vid some years ago,
by a "trained professional" on the proper way to take apart a Glock...

HE PUT THE MUZZLE of the gun in his palm, then dry fired it to release the striker!!

I was shocked that anyone would do that...
I seems that,,, "anyone",, would do That,,, but it didnt dry fire.
Must not have been a "trained professional"!!!

Lee Paige again, I assume?

Edit: You're all mistaken. It's pronounced "Glawk fowty", and nobody actually knows what caliber it is – it's kind of a trial-and-error thing.

I know a guy who shot his little finger off field striping a Glock.

He forgot the main points in the process make sure it is unloaded then POINT IT IS A SAFE DIRECTION before pulling the trigger.


I sure what happen was he dropped the mag tried to disassembly the realized dam I have to pull the trigger and had his hand in front for the barrel as he was pushing down on the take down latches.


Stupid is as stupid does.


That had to hurt.

Don't blame the Glocks. Waaaay back in the Time of Dinosaurs, when I was still on AD, our Military Police and our officers were armed with 1911s. I do not know how many died or were seriously injured because of some idiot improperly clearing a weapon.

Proper procedure:
1. Drop magazine.
2. Rack slide and lock back.
3. Check for empty chamber, visually and with little finger.
3A. Remove little finger.
4. Release slide.
5. Pull trigger to drop hammer.

Idiot procedure:
1. Rack slide and release.
2. Drop magazine.
3. Pull trigger......BANG!!!

And, yes, our officers were just as prone to that sort of asshattery. I had to chew one young captain's rear end for pointing his non-issue 1911 at one of my soldiers. He went to the Battalion Commander. The BC called me in and asked me for my side of the story. When I got through, the Command Sergeant Major and I got to listen to a colonel deliver a masterful, if somewhat profane, description of the captain and his ancestry for several generations. He was out of the battalion shortly thereafter.
