VERY SORRY. - THIS VIDEO CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE!

sorry if a dupe. found it while watching other videos. It's understandable that accidents do happen but this guy takes it to a whole new level. Firearms safety 101 would do this guy some good.

I wouldn't let that fool use a slingshot.

 

[jgreiner]

He draws and his finger goes to the trigger just as the gun clears his holster. 1911? Cocked and LOCKED? Lousy trigger finger awareness. Lousy use of safety. And I am not convinced that holster is a good choice for a 1911. JMO.

OP, you're supposed to add the required LANGUAGE WARNING

But I thought .45's were one shot man stoppers?

Give a kid a cowboy hat and let him grow a moustache...

He was on Tosh a couple of years ago, pretty funny.

 

[DemolitionMan]

He says his "finger curled around the trigger as he drew." This is undoubtedly true, but he makes it sound like it was an involuntary thing. The very first rule of safety is "keep your booger hook off the bang switch!" His finger should never have moved from its initial position until that weapon was pointed downrange.

He tells us that the draw was going badly because his thumb missed the retention release - but as soon as that happened he should have stopped what he was doing.

Kudos to him for not blaming anyone else. I don't think he goes far enough in explaining all the things that he did wrong though.

 

[SIGnature45]

Started out with "I don't blame this on the holster or anything other than myself". Then ends with "Things just tend to happen" haha. No, stupidity tends to happen. Think he would get his ltch taken away for something like this?

He is lucky it wasn't a more serious wound. Needs to watch where he points his finger and learn the four rules.

 

[rooster]

More ammo for the gun grabbers. This guy should do us all a favor and take this off the internet.

 

[45calibre]

It was a training accident. He has probably had more training that all the people talking ****.

 

[cosermann]

Tex. Yup.

 

[msr]

All I can say is he's lucky they weren't HPs.

Isn't this guy a Tactical Response instructor?*

Or, was that later after his AD?

*Big Tex was only through the instructor class there, he was not an instructor when he set himself on fire.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Looks like Big Tex is NOT an instructor with Tactical Response but had been through the instructor class there.
