RickT Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Not my screw up, but 5-6 feet from where I sat a Steel Challenge competitor had an ND while reholstering prior to his first string. I think if he had been in his shooting stance he would have hit his calf or foot. Fortunately, he was not yet set and the round couldn't have missed his foot by more than 1". His diagnosis: twig in the holster. I don't know how this can happen since we all do a few draws/reholsters at the safe table, but anything is possible. FWIW, it was a Glock. Nothing says "belt and suspenders" approach like my thumb on the hammer of my HK EDC while resholstering. Not so my competition 1911, but I do have a safety and I resholster with my thumb under the safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawk21 Posted July 16, 2019 Share Posted July 16, 2019 Scary stuff glad no one was injured! It must be a modified fire control.... any small twig would have disintegrated before a standard glock trigger pull was completed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

konkapot Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'd like to see this twig. I bet it had a fingernail and knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 obviously the shooter is lying, but i know I am pretty darned careful with my xdm CO gun when holstering loaded. It's easy to be complacent shooting DA or SA guns, but switching to a striker-fired gun for a few months has caused me to slow my roll and increase my attention.

I bet it had a fingernail and knuckles. that's good stuff right there. without being there its impossible to tell what really happened. but I seriously doubt that a twig fired the gun.

Intheshaw1 Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 Anyone have a trigger pull gauge? If so, grab a twig and see how much force is needed to break it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
