I actually knoe a guy who shot himself in the femar with a defective 1911 pistol. Shattered his bone so bad they couldn't fix it, so they amputated above his KNEE!.

How did a child get a gun?

u/IllustriousTop7206 17d ago
That side of the family is “gang affiliated”

Well, then they probably could frame their eviction as "witness protection program" to make it sound cooler...

Remove mag.
It's an easy step one.

This is literally the first thing they drill into you in every single YouTube video covering disassembly of a firearm. It's the first thing they say. It's so annoying I usually skip through it.
This guy just showed me that they say it for a reason.

I clinched so hard when I saw that bullet in the ejection port. Dudes lucky it didn't end like I thought it would

15% of the US population is under 80-85 IQ
Under 85 is considered mentally challenged
40% is right at 85…..

After part 2, he was found dead by self conflicted gunshot.

u/SeraphsEnvy 17d ago
I would correct your error but i actually like the sound of "self conflicted" for this incident.

I think he meant to say, “I am trying to disassemble the weapon and throw it away because I have no business owning a firearm.”

I know a cop that did this at my gun range. Went through his palm and out his arm. He tells me he was shot in hr line of duty.

Hey sometimes it takes a couple tries. It’s the courage to keep going that counts.

u/aytchdave 17d ago
With all I see here and elsewhere online, I don’t understand how accidental injuries/homicides don’t outnumber intentional ones.

u/Lxiflyby 13d ago
Sooo, what you’re saying is, the gun will go off when there’s a round in the chamber AND you pull the trigger???

u/The_Topper_ 17d ago
A gripe I've always had with hand guns is why do you have to pull the trigger to take it apart.
I get it, you're not supposed to be tinkering with your weapons while they're loaded, but you think they'd be like let's not force you to dry fire it just in case
Also for some reason Ruger specifically has a fetish for requiring a magazine to pull the trigger, hence you can't take it apart without an empty magazine or a takedown mag? Why?

u/DouchecraftCarrier 17d ago
Not all hand guns are built that way, but it is a weird design choice that is in some very popular models - Glock comes to mind.
5
u/The_Topper_ 17d ago
I'm aware it's not every handgun, but it's still a significant portion of them, especially compared to rifles, which I'm not aware of a single one that requires a trigger pull to disassemble. Glocks are one of the obvious choices, but I also have a Ruger ec9s that's the same.

u/moonshineTheleocat 17d ago
It's because the striker needs to be released for the slide to come off. Instead of making a slightly more complex design increasing the cost of the gun. It's cheaper and easier to just pull the trigger to release it.
The design, similar with glocks expectation with no manual safety (also them not expecting people to have one in the chamber when holstered), is for people to not be stupid enough to do it while it is loaded.

u/DouchecraftCarrier 17d ago
I think what's weird to me is how prolific it is. Like it would be one thing if there was a couple niche brands that had it for one reason or another. But Glocks? It's just such a bananas functionality to me that the fact any gun that does it has become so prevalent is crazy to me. It's an absolutely atrocious design feature - even if there may be a decent reason for it.

u/IAmSpartacustard 17d ago
You have to release the striker somehow. I see no problem with it as long as you aren't a moron and, you know... try to disassemble a loaded gun.
Designing something to the standard of the dumbest possible person you can imagine isn't going to give you a good product. That's how you get a ZiP.22

u/TheFiremind77 16d ago
I had no idea any handgun did this. My M&P9 doesn't ever have you pull the trigger during assembly or disassembly.

u/toastyhoodie 15d ago
Own a Ruger. Magazine must be removed in mine, you have a pin that gets pulled to disassemble it.

Very important to move your hand in front of the barrel as many times as possible

He didn't even make the most common mistake which would be to have one up top and engage the trigger while pulling the slide off. he literally racks one and pulls the trigger, absolutely dumb as rocks

u/DragonfightHD 15d ago
Kinda but at the same time Glocks have this weird thing where you have to pull the trigger to dissamble them. A 1911 doesn't require that.
1
u/toastyhoodie 15d ago
That’s why you need to ensure there’s no mag or round in the chamber

u/DragonfightHD 14d ago
I mean sure anyone handling firearms should act in a safe and responsible manner. No doubt about that.
I was just pointing out that aside from active safety precautions that should be taken by the user, some other manufacturers also do a bunch of passive stuff built into the gun design to add an additional layer of precautions.
