Naw, we all carry on an empty chamberDamn, how did you all survive? There must have been bullets flying everywhere with all these drops
Once about 13 years ago.
I was trying out a slide clip-on type carry option and I had not placed it properly on my belt and it fell out and hit an exterior concrete surface at my house.
That put a scratch onto the rear slide of my XD-9 SC stainless. Its still scratched.
(I could buff it out smooth, but then again, I have a long list of things to do that life does not allow enough time for..... so its got a "CCW Scar")
I've been daily-carry since 1983. Always 1, most times 2 handguns. Never lost, left behind, had a ND, or dropped a firearm. Ever.
Are you familiar with the expression "Tempting fate"?
Back in 2009 I purchased a CZ-50 from a fellow NESr. It was a gun I used as my PMC Raffle fodder that year. When I bought it the story of the guns history was passed to me. Seems the fellow NESr had it on top of a towel while he was taking a shower. When he reached for the towel the CZ slipped out of the holster and fell to the floor. Upon hitting the floor it discharged and shot the fellow NESr in the leg. NOT a drop safe handgun. It's the only gun I owned that I knew for sure actually shot someone.... Funny now, but I'm sure it was not funny then.
I was the owner of that gun, who sold it to the guy that you bought it from. Your story is wrong though. He had it in a cheap nylon holster while sitting at the dinner table in his kitchen. He shifted around or something, the gun fell out of the holster and hit the floor hammer-first, discharging a hollowpoint round up into his ankle/ lower leg. His wife called me from the hospital the next morning flipping out. I felt bad for them but how was it my fault?! He called me the following day after getting out of surgery and apologized that his wife was pissed at me. LOL he's a good guy.
Wow, thanks for clarifying. I would have sworn about the shower story. Mind plays tricks I guess.
Dudes, I am very sorry, but you have scared me a lot. I will avoid public places from now on!
The last thing I have dropped was 2 meters long tapeworm. That was in 1983.

Now I'm scared!!!!!
I liked the second to last paragraph but I unliked the last oneMy first handgun purchase after getting my LTC in 2000 was a crappy FEG .380. I carried it in my waistband, with no holster, empty chamber, safety off, full mag. (idiot)
A few months into carrying I was at a party wrestling around with a buddy and it fell out of my waistband and hit the concrete patio. My buddy picked it up before I could reach for it, pointed it into the backyard and pulled the trigger several times. Nothing. He handed it back to me and said "shit's broken".
Thankfully I'm a bit wiser since those early LTC days. That same buddy though, he hung himself about 17 years ago.

I was in a military back then and they believed we will become giant commie Rambos if they will feed us a raw meat. It worked with some exceptions. I was promoted to become such an exception. Doctors thought I had a cancer. At some point my tapeworm decided that I should not eat anymore and I started losing weight and also appetite. When it became borderline stupid I took some pain killers which tapeworm did not like and it has decided spontaneously to leave me. I was in a public bathroom and it looked like my guts are leaving me via my rear end. I grabbed the tapeworm and started pulling it. I pulled about 2 meters out and then it has decided to go back home. This is when I broke it off. I dropped what I've got in the glass jar and delivered it as a present to my doctors. They never saw it live before.
This was all happening in a public bathroom and most of it's visitors became my fans! I was their hero who fought with a yellowish snake!
I was getting dressed in the gym after a workout and when my gym bag fell off the bench, my G27 in an IWB holsters fell out and landed a foot or so away on the rug. There were 3 or 4 guys in there and I calmly walk over, picked it up, and placed it back in my bag. Nobody one said a word.
Wait so you dropped a Glock .40 and it didn't KaBoom?!!!
