I have had only one pistol accidentally go off on me. I have had at the time 12 years of firearm experience, and 9 years of experience with handguns. What happen in my case was. I was in Kuwait working as a contractor, and at the time in 2005 there were lots off insurgents trying to attack our living quarters, so I had a Kuwaiti friend of mine get me a pistol for protection, so he found me a .32 cal, (old one) and gave it to me. I was going to keep it in my room, and if we were ever attacked I would grab the pistol and lock myself in the bathroom. Well I was chambering a round to get it ready an put it in my locker, and as I chambered the round and let the slide fall BAM.. Talking about shook up, that was the first time a weapon has ever gone off on me. Come to find out the firing pin was engaged or something like that. So when I released the slide it struck the round then BAM… I just sat there for a min. thought to myself am I hit, am I hit? Now where did this round go?
I MAKE SURE NOW TO ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, POINT IT IN A SAFE DIRECTION. I knew that before but this ND just drove it all home for me.
Has anyone ever has a ND while handling a firearm. And how much experience have you had in firearm
