OMG! I'm glad you're ok!

Holy crap.
Glad you'r still alive.
You say you didn't feel anything?
I never want to be shot, ever, but always wondered what it would feel like.

Nasty! The holes look really quite unpleasant.

That's a shame because I thought that Budapest for the last two months might be an ideal place to find out (what with the riots and rubber bullets).

He knows when you are sleeping.
He knows when you're on the can.
He'll hunt you down and blast your ass from here to Pakistan.
So, you better not scream.
You better not move.
Your better off dead, I'm telling you dude.
Santa Clause is gunning you down!

So......you claim this was an accident?

At least its a manly wound. Impress the chicks!

I don't see how shooting yourself in the leg is manly.

OW !

. . . glad you're all right. I wonder why you didn't feel it when it happened, nerve damage, shock, combination of those ? ?

I had a knee operated on a couple of years ago and it's wierd, it hasn't been the same since. I have full range of motion but it always feels like there's parts missing. . . I hope you get good PT.

fortunate you weren't sticking into the front of your pants.
you might have shot your short leg.

never have believed in "accidental discharges"

only an ND..... Negligent Discharge. 
and yeah.. been there, done that too.
I feel your pain.

Missed a main arteryand bones, there's an entry/exit wound; if you was in a movie, it'd just be a flesh wound, and you'd have driven yourself to the hospital - but not before helping out an old lady in distress, and foiling a bank robbery. :wink:

In the real world, I'm glad you're okay, and hope you have a speedy and successful recovery.

I prefer the "cocked n locked" of a 45acp myself.
my personal history feels that " guns" of the antique style should have a dummy round glued in one chamber.
btw...
a 9mm is like a cigarette, proven it can kill.... just not the same day
ANY 45 cal is my preferred calibre.
the 40 Short n Wimpy would be second.

wound looks like they did a good job fixing you up.
coulda been much worse.
I did say an ouch for ya tho.
it's a bummer.
good you kept your humor and glad ya look n sound like you will be OK.

Dude, glad you got luckily unlucky rather than just really unlucky. Hope it heals well and quickly and doesn't get infected!

<shudder>  How about linking those pics?  thanks

That said, I hope you've no lasting effects, like a limp.

What caliber was that?   . . Oh, you mentioned an antique revolver, possibly a 45.  I'm glad it was (relatively) low power.  A newer weapon would have done considerably more damage.

I've a 357 magnum revolver with the 'transfer bar' that allows carrying a round under the hammer.  This thread reinforces my prior choice not to ever own a revolver without that safety feature.
