Shooting the upper

Safety lies in the mind, not in the hands. Had a co-worker fail to eject the round from his Glock 19, pushed the slide into his had and pressed the trigger. Boom.

For those unfamiliar with Glock pistols the chamber must be empty, the trigger in the rear position (fired) and the slide moved to the rear about a quarter inch. The slide lock is held down and the slide moved forward off the frame.

My guy was lucky, no permanent damage to his hand. Twenty years later you can't see any sign of injury.

Tho.. we did call him "Boomer" from that point forward.
