Enjoy!

On a recent MythBusters episode they asked the question:

“Is it possible to shoot a gun out of a bad guy’s hand”

Fly to Your Dreams Blog has a good writeup including some of his observations.

I agree with all his points.  But here is an idea…

Why risk collateral damage when some scumbag is doing something threatening with a gun?  Do the world a favor and just shoot him.

Disarming someone with a bullet does make for good family friendly T.V. though:

Yea yea… Glocks explode… I’ll save all you Glock haters the trouble and post these before you get a chance:

I have not had a Glock explode on me yet… and I’ve never seen it happen.  Every gun store on earth though has employees that have seen “LOTS” explode “with their own eyes” and they love telling you this every time you inquire about a Glock … riiiiiighhht *rolls eyes*

I still think that most of these problems could be attributed to the “unsupported” chamber on the Glock, and shooting hot reloads.

If you want to shoot hot reloads, and you have a Glock, it would likely be best to buy an aftermarket barrel like the one on the left.  Notice the amount of the body of the cartridge that is exposed on the Glock factory barrel (right).

I’ll stick to my factory loaded ammunition and the factory barrels for now.

MARSHALL COUNTY, W.Va.

a Marshall County officer was shooting at the range Tuesday morning when his service weapon literally blew up in his hand during a round of fire.

“The weapon went to the ground, the range officers were yelling for cease-fires,” he said.

Cecil says it was the first time the .45-caliber pistol had ever been used.”All that energy blew out on the top of his hand. And that’s where his injuries are,” Cecil said.

The deputy is now recovering at home. He’s still undergoing testing to find out the severity of his injuries.

The chief believes bad ammunition caused this bizarre accident, but he’s looking into it further.

Hat Tip: SaysUncle Blog for the story

Like the ninja method, I can’t get this one handed loading technique to work for me either:

Relevant part starts at 8 seconds

Maybe my hands aren’t big enough?  Either that or i’m chalking it up to a weak, or aftermarket spring in that beretta… just like my excuse for the glock ninja method.

Can any of you guys chamber a round using this method with your Glock? What about your Beretta?
