Ouch. Prayers out. Thank God it didn't hit an artery, but I'm sure this won't be an easy situation.

I know people are in favor of keeping a gun chambered for reaction time purposes vs. an attacker, but things like this make me wary.

1911, beavertail safety too.

Prayers up, he’s right, this can’t have felt really great. God made an amazing human body though and it’s capable of incredible things. May God watch over you as you heal.

This was a case of a defective design/build, though. The P9 is not drop safe because Springfield removed the firing pin safety from it.

Makes me wary, too.

I know I don’t want to shoot anyone. If I’m ever in that situation, It would be bad.

I use a 1911 as my carry.

I hope the sound of me racking the semiauto would be enough to deter them, or at least not have to pull the trigger to save my or a loved one’s life.

I’ve kept a round chambered for many years. I may reexamine that practice.

...not cocked, on safety,...

How is this even possible?
