Rule #2 Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy!

Very educational...

Now, that's a reloading nut right there: the day after he shot himself in the leg, he takes calipers to the exit wound!

Good thing he wasn't shooting Corbon's!

"Good thing he wasn't shooting Corbon's!"

Yeah, but I say its a good thing he wasn't shooting a .50S&W, rifle or shotgun.

Why, why, why do people have to keep learning the same lessons all over again. "There is no way to live long enough to make all the mistakes
yourself ... you have to learn from other people's mistakes."

A buddy of mine from another board took a 230 gr .45 hollowpoint to the right elbow from a buddy of his messing around with his .45 in the back seat of his jeep (he was driving, buddy in back seat!)

He still has trouble to this day with his arm...they had to reconstruct the bone because it shattered it

I don't think he has a static website up of the incident though...all his info is in the forum

OUCH!
It bites having to relearn a lesson the hard way.

And worse, that appears to be the metric readout; 12.47mm isn't much expansion from .45ACP (11.46mm) at all, especially considering it entered and exited twice.

Then, of course, there's that fact that he took two .45ACP wounds to the same leg and walked away from it...literally, judging from the footprints. Sure, it has him crippled up for a long time now, but if he'd been a determined attacker, that shot wouldn't have helped his victim much.

It is interesting, though, that there have been at least three firsthand accounts of serious ND self-woundings on the net in the last year or so, and all were with .45ACPs; not the same style gun, but the same caliber. I guess the guys that shoot themselves with 9mm or 40S&W just put a bandaid on it and keep quiet.

Bwahahahaha! Too funny. That'll fire up the 9/40 fans.

That's your Que...TXI, post (you know what)!

So sorry this happened to you. Awesome pics though! Now I have to explain to my wife why exactly I spit her spaggeti and meatballs all over the computer! Best of luck on your recovery!

Yup,

Readout is in mm (12.47) or .4909" roughly 1/2".

Had to hurt though.

Love those bloody footprints leaving the room, should serve as an excellent reminder next time he's in there.

Bad deal for that guy, but the creepiest pictures to me are the ones of the basement floor with blood and all that other junk around. It's a surreal scene like from the movie Hostile or Saw. Hope everything turns out OK for him
