Ouch!!!
Time for a beavertail?
Time for a beavertail?
Look closely
I just got back from the range, where I fired the two newest additions to the family; a Ruger 10/22 & a gen 4 Glock 34.

I put 130 assorted rounds through the 10/22 & 100 through the Glock. The 10/22 had one one misfire & a couple of failures to feed (I goofed on the very first one). The Glock functioned flawlessly (50 rounds 115 grain FMJ, & 50 rounds 147 grain sub-sonic? FMJ), but the stock sights have got to go! Plus, look what the Glock did to me:

I don't know if it was because my hands were sweaty, or if it was because I was using the medium back strap or what. Guess I will have to try it without the back strap or put some grip tape on it somewhere. That always seems to help. Anyway, check out the gore:

Righty
I am right handed. That is my right thumb knuckle closest to the hand. You know...the one that sits precariously close to the slide when you have a good grip a Glock.
Nice! It was fun! Next stop...scope city, then maybe upgraded trigger bits, a stock, a replacement threaded barrel, I don't know...maybe a suppressor. Oh the possibilities.

Had a great day at the range. I got to play with all my toys.
Tested some loads that I worked up. Got to use the computer interface with the Chrono.

Being that is your thumb on the right hand I would have two thoughts:
1 You have either allowed the gun to shift in your grip during shooting or,
2 You have mighty beefy hands.
I think it is #1 that was the issue though. I say that because of where the slide hit your hand. You would have noticed a un-naturally high grip had you started off that way.
And the G-34 never complained, what a gun!

Never, not once. I'm telling you what. Outstanding.G-23 said:Being that is your thumb on the right hand I would have two thoughts:

I agree I think it was #1 too. Hands were sweaty, slippery. Not even gen 4s rough textured frame could prevent it. I miss my RTF2, that thing never moved around in my hand. Oh well..I did not want to have to apply grip tape to this one, but it looks like I probably should. Like I said, I'm going to try it without the backstrap too & see what happens.
How do you keep your palms dry? Mind over matter? Talcum? Wear gloves?
What??????? GRIP TAPE ON A GEN 4?????? Nooooooooooo! It's not needed I tell ya! It's already too rough, and hurts my hands after shooting 3 mags!
....of course i'm kidding, I too agree with #1
