Welcome to the forum!Have any of you experience an AD?
I did tonight in the garage and my heart is still racing.
Thank god no harm done.
Cause?blackwolffcf said:Welcome to the forum!
Details on the AD? What caused it? Police called? Glad no one was hurt.
BTW I've been shooting for over 40 years without an issue. Thank goodness the only smart thing I did was point it in safe direction; only at an old chest of drawers that was going to the dump.blackwolffcf said:Agreed… pretty stupid…. We all have our moments though… glad everything is ok. Stucko in the wall? or you hit something that need more fixing?
Holy Crap! Sure am glad everyone is OK. Tough lesson eh?BTW I've been shooting for over 40 years without an issue. Thank goodness the only smart thing I did was point it in safe direction; only at an old chest of drawers that was going to the dump.
Can't tell you how scared and embarrassed I was.
AMEN NUK! It can happen to anyone! Knock on Wood I have never had it happen to me but some people very close to me whom I consider very safe gun handlers have had AD's!Not stupid bud, just a lesson in life to remember that comfort is an enemy to most men.
Glad you are ok.

Yep things happen. I wasn't going to tell this one, but why not. I remember when I was super young. My dad bought a Glock 19 1st gen the second he could when they came to the states, he got it directly from Smyrna paid for by his department. Anyway I was so young that I grew up with that Glock, it was a tool to be respected by i stood in awe at the same time. Same with his Corvette.Years ago, a friend and fellow officer came over to show me his new custom made .380 semi-auto, which I can't even remember who built it. We made it safe, and compared it to my Walther PPKS .380 for size and comfort. When we got done, my wife entered the room, assuming we were still playing with the unloaded handgun, but we were already done looking at them and reloaded both guns. She grabbed my friend's gun, pointed it at the TV and pulled the trigger, thinking it was still safe. Yep, she killed the TV, but since the gun was loaded with Glazer rounds, she hit the aluminum control bar flap below the TV, and destroyed it, but the bullet never penetrated the set.
This happened in the blink of an eye, and fortunately it taught me (and her) a very valuable lesson.
I am a member of several different forums. I knew I had to "turn myself in" about my near disaster. I chose this one wisely as it is the friendliest forum I know of. Not one flame or what an a$$ hole.nukinfuts29 said:Yep things happen. I wasn't going to tell this one, but why not. I remember when I was super young.

When I turned 16 I was well into firearms, but never shot the Glock. That morning I had to go to a friends and my dad told me I was driving, and pulled the Corvette out. That was a great day and in the afternoon Dad took me out back and introduced me to the Glock 19. In the end, I was allowed to shoot it. I made the mistake of forgetting about the extra round, I thought 15 was it. I was raving about how awesome it was and kind of waving my arms around like an idiot. I said something like "the gangsta pistol!" and had it sideways like gang idiots, i pulled the trigger screwing around. Dad was distracted, and rightly enough thought it was all safe because I have always been VERY disciplined with guns.
The BANG scared the **** out of me, but not as much as dads face. I followed his gaze and there in the fiberglass front fender of his 1982 Chevy Corvette Limited Collectors Edition was a giant 9MM inflicted bullet hole.
It's in the two three worst days of my life. It almost ended as the #1 best.
