Its a first hand report of a self defense situation that will get your heart pumping.
I learned quite a few things from that thread. Like how common it is for GSW's to happen in the hands and arms because people focus on the threat of the weapon.
Palm safeties may not work so well if you get shot in the hand and thumb safeties can alert the bad guy.
We all need to train to also shoot one handed with each hand. |
I hope I am NEVER in the situation that guy was in. He did a good job. I hope he is recovering well.
I agree, and the threat of a self inflicted injury is a real one too. A very good friend just shot himself in the hand about 4 months ago with his XD .45. He is a FEDERAL employee with a ton of training. It happens. He was distracted.
