Kudos to you (and +1) for being man enough to admit to your mistake and post your story so that the rest of us can learn from it!

Being a newbie here, I don't know the answer to this question, but I assume there's been an "AD" thread before, in which folks have all admitted to their misadventures? I'm sure there would be a lot of great lessons to be learned!

Well, I started a thread called "Dumbest thing you have DONE with a gun."
after I dropped my Bersa on a tile floor in a public restroom. Luckily there was no AD/ND.

Wow that looks bad. Hope your hand heels quickly. While that sucks at least you had good sense about it and had the gun pointed in a safe direction. kudos for that. I was told that N.D.'s happen to everyone around guns long enough. Its where they happen that makes the difference. I dont entirely agree with that but it is food for thought. Good luck

yes the hospital did and the leo was very respectable and they called it a malfunction since i was dissembling it

I think that would have huge value - as a great learning opportunity for all of us. I've been a certified instructor for a long time, and I've had one particular "learning experience" myself, although unlike the OP, I'm not sure I'm man enough to share it.

Ouch that definately looks like it hurts more than me chopping off my finger! hope that hand gets to feeling better soon.

[Bigum1969]

Yikes.

Thanks for sharing the story. It is a great reminder to all of us.

 

[vwfred69]

going back to work tomorrow and started therapy yesterday

 

[Indecision]

Thanks for sharing man, that looks rough. I'm just glad it didn't end as bad as it could've

 

[vwfred69]

at therapy

 

[GuyRelford]

Aw, buddy. My thoughts are with you - as well as my hopes for a very speedy recovery!! (So how the hell are you typing? One-handed, I assume??)

Of course, the good news is that chicks dig scars.

 

[vwfred69]

actually i'm typing with both hands now it didnt damage much muscle and no known nerves and no tendons.

 

[vwfred69]

Morphine makes you ITCH.
Healing itches.
Thank god for pain killers and benedryl

That's very fortunate to hear.

Thank you for sharing your story. Out of curiosity, it looks like most of your skin was taken with the slide...what's the plan to repair it? Is there enough left that it will scar over? If so, what are the plans for scar-care to make your hand as flexible/usable as possible? This is something I've always wondered about since my knee surgery left me unable to knee-down because of sensitive scar tissue beneath my knee cap.

Looks like you are turning into a zombie bro.

jk, but that had to have been scary/embarrassing.

 

[LEaSH]

Get well soon.

Sheesh. I can't imagine how long that baby is going to take to heal.

I've heard of hammer-bite, but this is my first known slide-bite. Or was most of the damage from the breach?

[WoodWizard]

Some moment of stupidity there, hope your hand is O.K.
