WARNING: Graphic Images Not For The Squeamish
Abort the Obamanation not the Constitution
Those who would, deny, require permit, license, certification, or authorization for me to bear arms are as vile, dangerous & evil as those who would molest, abuse, assault, rape or murder my family

Eew.
I am impressed by (1) his gunsmithing skills (changing out the grip safety without so much as removing the magazine), (2) his courage in posting the whole story, complete with pictures, and (3) his luck in not shattering any bone along the way.
I also note, with some dispassionate observation, that there wasn't a lot of expansion after the, oh, maybe four or so inches the bullet traveled through various parts of his leg.
And I am most definitely glad this was Not Me!

Here's the original thread. Was a forum member over on Glocktalk and happened just the other week.

well it must have expanded somewhere for there to be pieces left in the leg? It is a sobering reminder Guns are always loaded. and never point them at anything you arent willing to destroy. hope he heals well and fast

This has certainly given me another reminder of what can happen when not paying enough attention to matters, ugh.
The most exhilarating thing in life is getting shot at with no results.

all i can say is glad it was not me. It always pays to triple check yourself

He last updated it 2 days ago. He's going tomorrow to get checked out again. It's the ultimate reality show. I'm glad he's doing this to show people that no matter how good you are, you can have an accident. He mentions gun safety shouldn't be automatic, I disagree. Gun safety should be automatic, but it shouldn't be done on autopilot.
Great to get these reminders. Think Think Think........

Those images certainly were a big reminder as to the difference between putting holes in paper and human flesh. With two separate holes it is as if he was shot twice. I hope he fully recovers. This incident again goes to show that an ND could happen to anyone with just a moments inattention.
Not to make light of a serious issue but his screen name on the other site is Darwin.
