Always check the chamber visually and if you think a .32 auto is going to save your junk in a self defense situation. You might want to rethink it.👍👍 While any ND is serious, every guy that hears the story can't stop laughing when they hear about it only dinging a door and dropping to the floor.

I'm glad your friend didn't hurt himself of one of his family.

He quick grabbed a change of clothes because he knew they would cut the ones he had off him at the ER. He threw a garbage bag down in the car seat for the trip to the ER. Said it didn't hurt until he was almost to the hospital (15 min drive) by the time he got there he said it felt like a blow torch was being held to his hindend and he was squealing like a snake bit Girl Scout! Hahaha!

I worked with a guy who had a 45lc do that. It jumped inside his skin and traveled out his foot......and it RUINED everything in between. He's crippled for life.
DANG !!!

If the gun had been sitting for a long time, I wonder if the round in the chamber had picked up moisture or something that compromised it's performance. I'm surprised that even a .32 couldn't do more than lightly dent a plywood door from 5 yards.
The powder must have gone bad, that bullet looks pretty pristine for a round hitting a a door and not going through it.
Glad he is OK

I met a guy at Archery World this past Wednesday who is recovering from shooting himself in the hand with a .40. He was holding the gun by the barrel with his hand over the muzzle and dropped the gun on the striker. Nice big hole in his hand. :yike:
I'm glad your friend didn't hurt himself of one of his family.
I have to call BS on that guys story. All modern striker fired guns have drop safeties, its virtually impossible for the gun to go off without the trigger being pulled. When the trigger is pulled on a striker fired gun, the trigger actually finishes cocking the gun, then it moves the block out of the way just before releasing to hit the primer.
I think this guy was either showing off or doing something else but that trigger was pulled and his hand was in front of it. he's just not wanting to admit it. :chuckle:

Kinda sounds more like Glock hand, with the guy changing his story to seem less dumb. "Dropped the gun on the striker" doesn't make sense, since the striker is internal. "Dropped the striker" (i.e. pulled the trigger) is more like it, which you have to do in order to remove the slide from a Glock.

That has Glock written all over it.

Good thing the 40mm need a certain distance to arm or it would have been much worse inside the Bradley.
Give or take 15 meters. Unless you want to blast some of your team mates with a "Star cluster" 40mm. Then your good to go at point blank :chuckle: :chuckle:. I get a kick out of watching movies where they pull the pin/ release the spoon on a handgrenade and hold it and count letting it cook off before tossing it. Obviously they have way more faith than I and others I know in the competency of the government contractor that produces their fuzzes. 🙃

Did this guy's name happen to start with the letter V ? If so I unfortunately have met this idiot multiple times and . I believe what really happened is something to do with a loaded pistol behind the seat of his truck and it accidently discharging due to being caught on something . And if it is the same person , I don't believe he archery hunts either lol . I don't spend much time in vancouver but It seems like a strange coincidence lol .
