We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

How do you figure? That injury is a little hard to fake with ketchup and he has some obvious powder marks on his hand. Maybe he just rested the bullet back on top of the casing.

AWD, does it look like that bullet slid along a concrete slab for about 3 feet to you ?
No sir, It didn't . I still call B.S. Now, I'm not debating that the man shot himself in the hand, that looks authentic (after a GOOD cleaning of course). But that is absolutely not the bullet that did it, (If in fact, it did hit concrete as the OP says, after leaving his hand).
Now, if I were told that; That is the bullet that passed through his hand, then it was dug out of his dog, or other soft tissue, that I might believe, But that bullet there did not strike concrete, (or wood for that matter) after leaving his hand. No way.

It looks pretty gruesome nonetheless,
About 30 years ago, a co-worker was loading his family and gear up for a memorial day weekend trip. the last thing to get was a 44 mag he kept in the closet in a holster. The gun fell from the holster as he grabbed the belt and discharged when it hit the ground. The bullet, and I don't know what type it was, passed through his lower leg leaving a gaping hole you could see through for weeks. it tooks months to heal, and even went putrid in odor once. It's a good thing he was a big guy. He was around 6' tall and 300 lbs or so. Could have ended tragically, but he lived to endure a divorce, child support, and some other miseries over the next 20 years.
Seeing the hole on that guys hand reminded me of the earlier mishap, and how our morbid curiousity keeps us from looking away

Well just so you guys know....it's not a made up story, and that is the round that went through his hand. The guy that posted the story is a very reputable individual on that forum. Also left out was that the round went through his pantleg baarely missing his shin too before striking the carpet.:uhoh:

I always check to be sure the gun is unloaded before taking it upstairs away from ammo and mags.
Then I check it again before taking it apart for cleaning to be certain a gremlin did come behind me at toss in a round.
I NEVER point the barrel in the direction of any body or body part.
It appears Mr Hand Man used his palm as a brace shoving the barrel into it.
I suspect this type of stuff happens more often than we know.
Anyone working in the medical field that can chime in?

Looks like there is an inordinate number of Glock owners with holes in them :?. (for whatever reason)

Jizzle is 150% correct. The gun won't fire, as long as you keep your boogerhook off of the bangswitch. It really is just that simple. Clear the firearm BEFORE handling it.
if you are unfamiliar with its operation, don't handle it until you have recieved proper
training in the safe operation of said firearm. Again, It really is just that simple.
NEVER point a firearm at anything you do not intend to destroy. One more time, It really is just that simple.

As a wise uncle once told me. "Jason, unloaded guns kill people." I never pass a loaded gun except at the range. I never take someones word for itbeing unloaded without checking myself. And I check to the point of paranoiabefore cleaning.
And that will take forever to heal completely!
