Gun Safety Video

[Bill Foster]

This is a link to a gentleman's story about an AD into his leg. It is not funny. (Ok, it's funny as hell, just not to him) It makes a good training story concerning holsters and practice.

Good Video, Thanks! Kids are gonna have to watch that one and forgive his language, they need to see it

Also for those who believe a 45 will cause a chuck norris powered twisted summersault when it hits, watch and learn the truth about "knockdown power". I'm glad he had the courage to post this.

While initially humorous, the man had the courage and conviction to share this accident. I respect the guy and his attitude for using his own error as an educational video.

On a side note, the he came close to hitting an 'essential' piece of equipment!

It also illustrates something a little more subtle....he mentioned that he had been practicing with his glock and that thumb holster. Then later on he was using his 1911 kimber (i think) and a different holster. My take away is find a sidearm and stick with it and a specific holster. Don't mix 2 different holsters and sidearms in the same day. Maybe I am oversimplifying but we get used to using a piece of equipment and then we change brands/models and we are programmed with the other one (we go on autopilot) and we get injured because of a safety procedure change because we changed equipment.
