Big toe hand?
Big toe hand?
I call bullshit.
He was probably wild-west swinging his gun around, it got loose in the air, he tried to grab it with both hands, and that's when he shot off his finger.
Because 'who doesn't unload a gun before cleaning it'? Nobody. The first step is always to remove the mag and any bullet that was chambered, before you disassemble it.
Yeah, I suspect that some accidents attributed to "cleaning" are actually caused by something else.

Remember this manly man showing off to gun skills in the show Dooms Day Prepper shooting off his thumb!

I totally agree that it's most likely bullshit but glocks are somewhat set up for this kind of error, as you have to pull the trigger to decock and allow disassembly. Many stories of idiots ejecting the mag and failing to cycle the chambered round out prior to pulling the trigger, and often the weak hand is in front of the muzzle to complete the takedown assembly. It takes a lot of stupid to shoot yourself in the hand tho.
This guy still wins.

I think that one was stupid with an exponent.
a glock has never gone bang without a bullet in the chamber
that's user error, not glock setting you up to shoot yourself :ninja:
