Watch Those Clothing Dangles! Guns Go Bang Without Fingers

[Kirk Freeman]

No, you do not need a finger to make the gun go bang. Watch that dangly crap on your clothing. Cut it off (finally a use for all those goofy tactical knives) or tape that stuff down.

Gun only has one job.

Yeah I've cut those things off of few jackets. I never use them anyway.

 

[lovemachine]

I don't buy anything with that crud anyway.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Pffft, but you are on a gun expurt forum so you know that guns do not discharge without fingers being on triggers.

What's your definition of a goofy tactical knife?

 

[Kirk Freeman]

A knife that is "tactical".

Yes, the string of fire.

Have no worries the gun expurts on INGO tell me that firearms only discharge when fingers on are triggers.

Maybe the Devil's right hand touched it.

Have some &^%$#@* respect for the snake that bites and stop treating it like a ^%$#**@ toy.

Yeah, not a fan of Dangle's clothing...

A friend's wife shot herself at a match several years ago, as a result of this very phenomenon (I don't recall if it was a toggle thing or just a piece of jacket that got into the trigger area, but the effect was the same). In addition to removing potential trigger-pullers from clothing, it's also a reminder to take an instant and make sure your holster is clear before you put the pistol back in. No prizes for speed-reholstering, and all that.

MY EVIL PLAN IS WORKING

Don't forget to make sure your shirt or clothes in general is clear of the holster. Fabric clumped up can set it off. Almost had it happen once

Alrighty then

Cheap draw string..........shoulda changed it out to Paracord.

Tacticool always gets along with tacticool.

I always coon-finger my holster (not my gun!) to make sure that it is clear before holstering. In addition, I always use my weak hand to hold my shirts close to my torso allowing me to visually inspect that the holster and trigger guard are clear while holstering. Be alert and be safe!
