Holstering is Dangerous.
Good thing he wasn't shooting his .44RemMag.

Interesting........ Wondered why it wasn't already on the Forum. As it happened, It was directly linked to a very current news item.
Provides an opportunity for me to say that in my CHP classes, the shooters are required to holster "dry". That is, no round in the chamber. Empty tube.
On command, they first draw, then rack the slide, chamber a round, then fire. All the time, muzzle pointed downrange.
A bit unorthodox. Not prohibited by NE State Patrol CHP rules. And much safer than if holstering with a live round in the chamber.
Wouldn't use this procedure if all shooters involved were experienced, proficient handgun shooters.
But they aren't. I can show Living Proof. Not picking on my shooter-clients at all, but each class usually includes some Total Handgun Newbies. Who have never holstered a handgun before. And who sincerely intended to get to the range to practice before qualification shooting, but "just ran out of time".
That's About It For Now...........

Thanks for the heads up.
Please don't tell Mrs. sfg. It would only confirm what she already deeply suspects.
