RangerTrace Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Had my 2nd DQ in 16 years tonight at an indoor USPSA match. Somehow as a lefty, I managed to get my finger in the trigger guard during a retreat/reload and barked one off. Thankfully it was in a safe direction and nobody was hurt.

My second dq was for the same thing. Also a lefty Basically when I seated the mag, I curled my trigger finger into the trigger guard. Luckily the bullet then go anywhere that hurt anybody. Thinking back on it, I kind of think there's a natural tendency to curl the trigger finger and unfortunately it happens to end up in the trigger guard. Then when you seat the mag and decide to grip the gun there's a little bit of sympathetic movement of the trigger finger that can possibly cause this if you're not paying attention. Luckily I've only had it happen once in 18ish years of shooting, but it can happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From now on, I will start with those fully loaded, but won't reload to one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bdh821 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 It's probably happened because you're left handed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
