Thought this would be a good reminder to be careful when carrying. Warning the pictures are pretty graphic.

What do I keep saying? Just when you think it can't happen to you it does.

Someone commented that the holster had no trigger guard.
To be honest from the title I thought somebody had shot themselves in the leg with an M14. I was wondering how in the hell somone managed to do that.

That's what I thought too. I wonder what kind of Glock it was. 30? That .45 I tell you. It didn't expand due to the short barrel and low velocity.
Um....... he lost the leg. Sounds like it was horribly effective to me. I'm sure the guy wishes it hadn't been.
Guy was carrying a glock with one of those pocket clips attached to it. Lost his leg in the accident. The 45 ACP critical degfense round traveled 13 inches through his leg before it exited.
A pocket clip like on a knife? That's dangerous as all fuck!
Yeah the picture of the glock shows it.

Here is his gun

Was hoping it was @dar oh never mind.

The bullet didn't expand.
Yea, man. That clip is......... not a good idea.
.45 is big enough that even unexpanded it still does damage. Poor bastard lost his leg and the bullet didn't even perform to its potential.
Again, I'm hesitant to use this guy as a debaiting point cause the poor sod lost his freaking leg! That is terrible!

.355 vs .450. any bullet would have done that. 2 extra millimeters isn't much difference in circumference.
poor poor leg.

The silver lining in all this is at least someone else will learn from this. Same thing could have happened with a safety that came off. It's happened to me with my 1911. Either the safety came off as i was moving or I forgot to put it on.
I'm guessing most people are not gonna wanna see that @dsdmmat.
poor poor leg.
poor poor leg.
Yeah it is pretty graphic.
Think of the children!
I have all the children on ignore.
I don't understand though. Did they cut his leg open at the ER or did the bullet do all that? I can't see how a pistol bullet could do that kinda of damage.

And that's why I am installing Siderlocks on all my carry Glocks.
Ahhhh...whoops
You naughty person.
Just carry it in a proper holster with full coverage over the trigger guard, problem solved.

I only hope the guy was lucky enough to keep the knee. That damage is awful.
