Good post, many lessons learned here. </div></div>
Obviously we all missed the humor in this, so let me be clear. What I, and others, have been saying all along is that it takes a complete ruhtard in order to shoot yourself drawing from a Serpa. Here is video evidence that a complete ruhtard with a Serpa can in fact shoot themselves.
Thank you, that is all.
 
Re: This dude just shot himself...

I'm not even sure that this was a negligent discharge. Unintentional discharge is probably more accurate. That is, unless his failure to take proper precaution was by using a holster that is fundamentally unsafe.

About half-way between the holster and the point where he is supposed to have pointed the gun horizontal is the point at which he pulled the trigger, contrary to his irresponsible explanation of how the accident happened.

I know you all saw the dumbass Fed agent shoot himself in the foot with his service pistol in a room of school children. So embarrassing. </div></div>

That DEA agent has done amazing work and has taken hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of dope out of circulation and placed many men where they need to be, behind bars. Bad situation and carelessness doesn't equate to being a dumbass. I hope to god nothing like this ever happens to you.

He wouldn't. I have seen the results from a 230 grain 45acp hydrashock on a leg shot similar to his, very impressive. Dude also lost his left testicle. Head shots are equally impressive.

Yeah, he might have shot himself again if his training had kicked in.
 
Re: This dude just shot himself...

I will be used in the "what not to do" training during basic firearms classes.

It does have it's own (sick) entertainment value!!

maybe that only works with 10mm ? </div></div>

300 your statement is partially true. IF it had been a 10mm his entire lower torso would've been taken off and the shockwave would have generated a E M P which would've stopped the camera from working.

Fu@#ing OUCH!!!

I have a friend who is.......well lets say a bit of a mall ninja. Has every piece of tactical gear conceived , and most firearms developed. He was doing the very same thing, practicing his draw and shoot technique. same exact demonstration except he used jacketed HPs and put one through the top of his foot.

yep, sometimes stupid hurts.

</div></div>

Where is your friend's vidoe? I'd love to see that one.

1. Dry fire drills, dry fire drills, dry fire drills.

2. Finger straight and off the trigger.

3. When you are working on a technique like this start slow and reinforce the proper mechanics. Then move to full speed.

Re: This dude just shot himself...

Its official, this dude is part dumbass and part Chuck Norris,
Part Norris 'cause he took a point blank impact from a .45 and walked away cussing about it, and well....part dumbass cause he done it to himself!!

For this to be such an epic fail, there is still so much win in this video!
 
Re: This dude just shot himself...

props to him for being humble enough to post a youtube video of himself telling the public what happened, it was his fauilt, and how to avoid it.


maybe politicians should take a page outa this guys book.
 
Re: This dude just shot himself...

This is a funny video, but also very possible. When users press the "release" wrong their finger goes onto the trigger. With the Serpa holster, you leave your finger straight and press the release. As you draw the pistol out of the holster your trigger finger is placed directly onto the frame. Press the release first, then draw the pistol straight up.

Often people start drawing the pistol out of the holster before they activate the release. People panic because the pistol won't unlock and come out with the draw. They then use the tip of their finger and press the release putting their finger directly onto the trigger when the pistol comes out.

Many Govt Agencies and Police Departments have banned these holsters. It is a user error and not and equipment problem. Good video to show the possiblities and glad he made the video though.

Both incidents show what happens when you break multiple fundamental firearms handling rules at once. Whether it is partially gear related, or just a lack of good judgement, the end result is the same. Just be glad they accidentally shot themselves and not someone else. It just goes to show that it can happen to really experienced shooters, as soon as they start breaking fundamental rules.

It's particularly embarassing, when you just finished explaining how you are the only one in the room qualified enough to handle a firearm. Kinda makes you question what their grasp on the fundamental firearm handing rules was in the first place.

This comes from improper use of the holster. I have one, and carry my 1911 in one. Which part of your finger you use to actuate the release is important. If you use the tip of your finger...what happens in the video can be the result because you build a curled finger into muscle memory. At some point that winds up in the trigger guard.

If you use it properly, and actuate the release with the PAD of your finger, your finger stays straight, and properly indexed. That's the muscle memory you want to adopt.
 
Re: This dude just shot himself...

That fag blocked me long before he shot himself. I remember he used to make his videos down in his parents basement. LOL He got mad at me because I questioned him about why he was named TEX when he's never lived in Texas. LMAO

was that .45 thrown off of its flight pattern by soft tissue? 9mm 1911 sales are going to triple (all the way up to 6) this year.

Yes, I'm sure that agent has done his mindless duties in the name of the endless war on drugs or terrorism or whatever it happens to be this week. "I don't know why your 2 year old is on the no fly list and can't board the plane, just doing my job sir".....dumbass.
