And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If I were going to do something like that. I think that first I would practice drawing and shooting a few hundred times with a snap cap in the chamber first. I don't think this guy practiced at all.
Good old Tex Grebner. May he live on in internet immortality forever. As I recall, he was drawing from a Serpa. The video is on YouTube. I’ll give the guy credit though, he owned his mistake and posted it himself for others to learn from. There’s some big name trainers out there who would have quietly deleted the video and never addresses it.

I think the Serpa holster has a lever on it that must be depressed to allow the pistol to be removed from the holster. Unfortunately the lever that is pushed coincides with the location of the firearm trigger. The finger is pushing down as the gun is being drawn and that downward finger motion already in play can translate to movement to the trigger and having an accidental discharge. I suspect that is what happened here. Properly drawn, the trigger finger never touches the trigger until the firearm is fully drawn and already pointed down range.
He posted about the previous couple hours. He was practicing with a different holster, then changed to this one. The mechanics were different, and he reverted to the previous style when fast drawing on this one. The wetware didn't keep them straight.
It's a recurring nightmare for me. Changing from one firearm to another with a different safety setup...
Quite a few trainers and schools have banned that holster from range work, due to the inherent danger they present to the user, and probably the potential liability.
Dumb ass..
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if the guy's finger never touches the trigger. Too much tweaking?
DeleteLernen durch Schmerzen. Learning by pain.
ReplyDeleteGood thing he doesn’t have a hat holster
ReplyDeleteCome on Andy, let me have my bullet...
ReplyDeleteLook at the bright side. Time saver in a busy world. Now he only has 9 toenails to clip.

ReplyDeleteOne reason I won't carry an SAO.

ReplyDeleteTrigger safety, another Darwinian design.
