[QUOTE="tslabaugh, post: 1316846, member: 2226"] Man, sorry to hear about that! Best of luck to you on the recovery and keep us updated on how you are doing! My older cousin took a .40 round to the hand a few years ago while racking the slide incorrectly. He lost his index finger in the incident, but the doctors did a real good job of making it look normal. I believe the round hit him at the base of the index finger and they took the entire bone out where it looks like his hand has only had 3 fingers on it. I try to make it a habit with any gun I handle to check the chamber atleast 3 times before dry firing. Then, I will stick my pinkie finger down in the chamber, if possible, to check. I've always been really nervous about decocking an external hammer gun on a loaded round and really prefer not to do it. Now that nervousness is alive and well. Take care man! You are an eye opener to us all! Good luck on your recovery! [/QUOTE]
