Gun disgorged from holster

[WildBill]

Originally, I chose the title "Gun discharged from holster", but decided that had a whole different, unintended meaning.

"Ejected" is probably a better choice of word, with the correct connotation, but disgorged was the best I could come up with at the time.

Disgorging is certainly a more colorful word.

Until those dogs are trained,they are susceptible to being run over. Regardless of their present stage of training they should be restrained for their own protection and your own peace of mind.
Even a well-trained dog is not 100% reliable.

You'd be surprised how well this actually works, just going with it until the momentum is exhausted, as opposed to trying to stop it directly.
I've managed to avoid some serious injury tucking and rolling in the past

Make no mistake, it still hurts, especially as I get older but I think it's definitely lowered the injury I've received on multiple occasions.

Just gotta make a quick judgement call as you're falling as to whether rolling on further would be more dangerous or not (Rolling into Traffic, electric fence, etc)

your just a young pup..wait til you hit 40+
thats when you experience mystery pains without any explanation as to what caused them

I'm 26 and I already have that... I did something to my right wrist a few weeks ago, no idea what happened, but if someone comes up to shake my hand, I have to try real hard not to scream out in pain.. No idea what I did to it, but to make it worse, I'm a mechanic, it's not like I cant just use my other hand to do stuff..

I have a Don Hume IWB tuckable holster.. I LOVE it, I love it so much I want another one just like it, and I dont know why... I've done a full out run and tackle in the pasture ( long story ), hitting the ground hard, rolling, the whole bit and the gun never moved.. I've rode horses with it ( long trail rides ), mountain bikes, dirtbikes, you name it, it goes with me during my normal activities and I dont have to worry about it falling out.. The holster uses a snap style break away, I can draw it fast enough that I promise a BG wouldnt notice the snapping sound before the gun was pointed at him.. I've got a few other holsters, and the whole time I've got them on I'm worrying about the gun falling out..

Just curious...to the OP, have you rechecked the holster to make sure that your initial adjustments for retention have held? It might have slipped a bit over time...

My IWB is extremely secure....thats because the DPS make sure my gun can never fall out of it when outside the house by not sending me any plastic!! .... actually I can't really complain as I am only on day 78 .... so not even halfway there yet

I'm torn between two options:

• Tightening down the screws, giving up the more fluid draw and reholstering.
• Disarming briefly when in such a situation

My further two cents -- you need to fix the holster or find another one that does work. Disarming so you can chase your dog? Or being able to predict well enough when you are going to get upended that you know when you can disarm or not? Nope.

Additionally, the moment you realize you are going to need your gun might very well be when someone knocks you for a header onto the sidewalk or down the stairs. That's not when you need to see your gun skittering across the ground. You need a holster that can handle that; also, your broken wrist is why some people carry two guns in a manner that one is reachable by either hand. Your risk assessment may not go that high, but really, your holster needs to be able to hang onto the gun. I have had a couple rather ungainly falls with my C-TAC, and it hung onto my Hi Power OK. If you can tighten up the screws or the belt and fix the problem, that's good. Otherwise, time for a new holster.

Good luck.

Indeed, and you can train yourself to do it every time.

I am a mountain biker and I have a drawer full of jerseys with holes or abrasions on the back of the right shoulder. Seems like every time I crash, I roll onto my right shoulder. Never a hand, arm or collarbone injury. In fact I have never had a serious injury from any of the numerous 20+mph bicycling wrecks I have had over the past decade except for the one time when a car was involved.

Completely off original topic, but you think you could teach this guy the mountain bike tuck-n-roll technique?

It's possible, could be several things unfortunately.. The worst part is most joint conditions require steroids to treat them, and I cant take steroids ( type 1 diabetic, steroids mess with my blood sugar, which leads to bigger problems if not controlled, which is very hard to do on steroids ). I have taken them in the past with caution, and it does help considerably.. What really stinks is I had to quit play guitar, been playing for 11 yrs... Thats just the way it goes sometimes... I have a feeling I wont be able to turn wrenches for a living for another 10 yrs, that type of career is hard on a person's joints.

Interesting that you laugh at someone else's injury. The rider is lucky to be alive, and he had an amazing recovery.

This guy was trying to set a speed record on a bicycle. I saw a story on this very run and the follow-up (a year or so later after he healed from his numerous injuries). He's a professional stunt rider and definitely took every precaution. This was an extreme equipment failure that caused his crash, not some fault of the rider. And contrary to the ignorant youtube comments, this was a purpose-built bike handmade for this high-speed run (this was in the dark ages of mountain bike technology, this bike was cutting-edge at the time), the very best equipment you could have possibly used at the time.

The hostility that Texans show towards cyclists is often shocking to me. To watch a guy crash a mountain bike at 100mph and then post a " " emoticon is beyond my comprehension.

Sorry to go off-topic.
