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

Um....... he lost the leg. Sounds like it was horribly effective to me. I'm sure the guy wishes it hadn't been.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.
A pocket clip like on a knife? That's dangerous as all fuck!Eye 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.
Yeah the picture of the glock shows it.A pocket clip like on a knife? That's dangerous as all fuck!
The bullet didn't expand.Um....... he lost the leg. Sounds like it was horribly effective to me. I'm sure the guy wishes it hadn't been.
Yea, man. That clip is......... not a good idea.Yeah the picture of the glock shows it.

Here is his gun

.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.The bullet didn't expand.
.355 vs .450. any bullet would have done that. 2 extra millimeters isn't much difference in circumference..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!
poor poor leg..355 vs .450. any bullet would have done that.
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.poor poor leg.
Yeah it is pretty graphic.I'm guessing most people are not gonna wanna see that @dsdmmat.
poor poor leg.
Think of the children!Yeah it is pretty graphic.
I have all the children on ignore.Think of the children!
I'm guessing most people are not gonna wanna see that @dsdmmat.
poor poor leg.
You naughty person.Ahhhh...whoops
Just carry it in a proper holster with full coverage over the trigger guard, problem solved.And that's why I am installing Siderlocks on all my carry Glocks.
