Ever shoot a gun inside your pocket?

[SmileDocHill]

Isn't that why they call them "pocket guns?" You shoot safari guns on a safari, right?

Just sayin'.

So I'm only supposed to shoot a bad guy in his pocket with my pocket gun? This totally changes my "shot placement" training protocol.

I suppose if a person ever had to use this tactic setting your clothes on fire would be the least of your concerns.

If I ever had to use this tactic, the BG's estate would owe me a new jacket...

I'm glad I scrolled down far enough to read all the posts. I was starting to think I was the only one who understood that the OP did this intentionally. Good for him. His knowledge base is now reinforced by experience.

agreed, i was suprised how many people thought it was stupid. IF you carry a revolver in a manner that would allow you to "pocket fire" then you SHOULD practice it at least once.

+1 to the OP

You don't want the first time you fire your weapon to be a surprise. +1 for practicing something you may have to do in a defensive situation.

I did it once with a S&W Centennial revolver and old jacket. Distance to target was 7 yards. Kept the rounds on a silhouette target. Blast and debris was a definite distraction. Decided that this would be a last resort option because if I ever did it in real life, it would be hard to explain to a jury.
