Tragic ND...GRAPHIC

[Kodiak]

I'm a member of the XDTalk forum. One of the members had an ND into his hand with a .40 SW Speer Gold Dot. His story details the hard time he is currently going thru with surgery and rehab.

At least two safety rules broken a left permanant reminder. He was lucky it could have been worse.

Thanks for sharing this.

I agree! After reading it, I felt that I'd better share. I'm a CHP holder and handle my pistol everyday. In the morning I put it on and in the evening I take it off (at home). It's easy to get complacent, handling it so often. This is a grim reminder to keep aware and it only takes one second of inattention to have a ND.
