Just the other day I was out in the desert doing some target shooting. There was an old stump about 5 ft tall. Shot it about chest high with my .45 from about 20 feet and the FMJ came right back and hit me in the forehead! I saw it coming, nothing I could do. Left a nice bruise. An inch or so lower, would have put my eye out. Really shook me up.
I'm glad you're okay, 99. I agree that could have been much worse!
My wife and I were taking turns shooting a Browning Hi-Power some years back, when a 9mm FMJ bullet bounced off something on a hill we were shooting against and hit my wife on the shin. No serious injury, just a small bruise that was sore for a few days, but the experience certainly was sobering.
