Safety Warning!

[1911Tuner]

Clearly it refers to reholstering incidents. What I was pointing out was that while reholstering incidents clearly do result in ND/ADs, I haven't seen any statistics (even informal ones) to indicate that reholstering incidents are the leading cause of Glock ND/ADs.

Well..."Glock Leg" didn't arise from AD/ND occurrences while field stripping. A tag like that only comes from fairly commonplace things like "Hammer Bite" and "Garand Thumb" that are associated forever more with the 1911 and the M1. Say'em...and pretty much everybody knows what you're talkin' about.

I suppose one could venture a guess that there are as many or more Glock AD/NDs during the field strip process...but those don't get as much attention as the ones that result in bullet holes in one's booty...and likely go unreported out of plain embarrassment. Much harder to hide a gunshot wound and a lot harder to explain one that starts at or above mid-thigh and travels lengthwise to the lower regions.

Many people...myself included...view unintentional discharges like the pilot's axiom. i.e. "Any landing that you can walk away from is a good landing."

Any AD/ND that doesn't get anybody hurt or killed ain't all that bad.
Embarrassing. Humbling. Frightening. Sometimes expensive...but essentially, it don't mean nothin'.
