[QUOTE="Hangfire, post: 3962461, member: 27673"] I worked three nights a week after work and all day Saturday for a gunsmith in Noble for a couple of years till he passed away and one night he was working on a little .25 auto handgun trying to figure out why that it would not feed and eject shells as it should and he didn't have any dummy rounds so he was using live ammo. I was in the back of the shop about 20' away sandblasting guns to get them ready for the bluing tanks and I hear the gun go off turned and Roger is standing there with a sort of "oh s*it !" look on his face with blood pouring out of his hand. He had been holding the little gun in his right hand and was racking the slide with his left and at the same time the meaty part of his left hand / palm below the little finger had slipped over the muzzle of the gun, his finger was on the trigger and about that time the front door to the shop opened, he lost concentration for a split second and shot himself in the hand......I hurriedly grabbed two or three clean shop rags and duct taped them tightly to his hand and had the customer that had just came in take him to the hospital. The customer brought him back form the ER a couple of hours or so later just as I was getting ready to lock up, the bullet had went in and out through the flesh and no bones or anything were hit......like the fella above he also got lucky.
