MikeFoley Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Well it was an evening not unlike the past few, or so I thought-trying to get just 10 minutes of positive sight picture draws, transitions, and reloads in each night before Nats. Then somehow the magazine full of dummy rounds found my three middle toes of my right foot during the reload . After hopping around the house like a lunatic with my gun in my hand screaming ouch, oh, and trying to hold back profanity , I realized that the reload was still successful. My toes took several minutes to quit throbbing, and my family came down the stairs to investigate the horrible screams, finding me with my race rig on . The moral of the story is wear shoes to prevent delays in your practice due to injury of the digits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingerjg Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I did somthing similar to that while dry firing. I had been practicing my reloads and when i bent down to retrieve my mag from the floor my gun dropped out of my ghost holster. I didnt lock the holster before bending over. The tip of the beavertail landed right on the top of my bare foot. I dont think I want to do that again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeFoley Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Dryfiring naked could cause injury to more than a foot if you dropped a magazine especially with bacon grease on your fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folsoml Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 You covered the lack of shoes, but what else (clothing wise) were you lacking? Did your family catch you with just your duty rig on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFoley Posted July 14, 2005 Author Share Posted July 14, 2005 Not this time! But I did get strange looks hopping about with my STI in my hand and all. Good thing I didn't get DQ'ed in my own office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airedale Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Fomeister, This is why I never practice. It's simply too dangerous. Did Steve Anderson put a disclaimer in his book about dryfire attire?

OUCH!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thread drift: At a local USPSA-like "benefit" match last year, we had a guy in our squad none of us had ever seen before. Didn't see gear on him, either, so we figured he was in "concealed" mode. Right up until it was his turn to shoot, he threw off his jacket and pulled a [really nice commemorative Gold Cup] cocked-and-locked .45 out of the back of his pants. Not out a holster. Out of the back of his pants. RO gets into a discussion with him about how he has to use a holster. He can't just walk around with a gun stuffed into his jeans. Cue the Irreverent Squad Mates... "hey, he *has* a holster. It is an ITC model. Inside The Crack" "hey, yeah, one-size-fits-all" ''yeah, it even has a built-in sight-channel" etc. (You can fill in your own blanks for comments about "slide glide"... I won't go there) Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i just figured, if i may be defending my life, i dont think the other person is gonna wait till i have the proper footwear on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BEDELLCUSTOM Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 for the guys only, don't dry fire naked either. you could accidentally grab something other than a mag and load it into your gun which could be extremely painful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
