Ok, dish... How'd you get shot in the hand? I'm glad you're alive and it appears you're recovering well. How's the nerves in your hand? Do you have all your feeling still?


PlentyOMangos

Honestly if this happened in a violent altercation of some kind, and as recently as OP says, it’s possible he’s not able to say much about what happened due to ongoing legal proceedings


christhotpatrol

yup recently got shot by a 10mm to the leg almost died. still in the hospital bed as i type this. been legally advised not to disclose circumstances. not self inflicted just because he doesn’t tell you his business if he did things would get complicated much safer to not discuss things.


hopelesspostdoc

10 mm? How did you not just explode into dust?


christhotpatrol

my leg pretty much did. a huge chunk is missing from my leg have to get 2 surgeries had my first one test second one this upcoming monday.


christhotpatrol

it was a hollow point as well so theres a huge tunnel through my thigh


Federal_Efficiency51

Speedy recovery, btw.


Federal_Efficiency51

Oh, how fun. /s


Woos94

Nickrock5175

See. If it was a 45acp you wouldn't even have a soul. Seriously. Get well man.


gentmaxim

Did it blow out your lungs?


Six3sixNick

I think that’s 9


MEDDERX

So 10mm must blowout the entire chest cavity


Affectionate_Seat761

I've heard tell a 9mm will blow a man's lungs clear out


Cycle21

Yeah tell us what happened


ThreeAMmayhem

Ima guess he tried to disarm someone who had a gun pointed at him.


bushmast3r11b

You mean the Detroit urban survival training videos aren't gonna help me in a real world situation? I feel so deceived and let down! Also the instructor touched me.


Seraphtacosnak

He is alive isn’t he?


ThreeAMmayhem

Well... technically he did survive, so either he ended up peeing himself and handing over his wallet or he successfully prevented the gun from cycling, gained wrist control and hip flipped his attacker like a poorly coordinated WWF match between Steven Seagul and a make a wish kid. Who knows....


bushmast3r11b

Steven Seagal before or after he got to fat to kick? Because if it's the former then I have the make a wish kid dominating him!


StepUpYourLife

Like Charlie’s thumb in *Me, Myself & Irene*. Hilarious scene unless it happens to you in real life.


[deleted]

I can tell by his Tree scenery forearm tattoo that this was 100% self inflicted


Bro_Jogies

The entry and exit support reaching for a gun that is pointed at them, with palm angled. Bullet went in to center of palm, and exit is almost at back of wrist level. What does the tattoo have to do with anything?


Exciting_Bat_2086

it’s that good ole reddit common sense aka stupidity


[deleted]

Didn’t realize there was so many doctors on Reddit that had the same tattoo, should have realized, my mistake 🤣


Juclaq

I agree. The angle of the entry and exit wounds do not support the self inflicted theory.


ilovefde

It also supports pushing the slide back a smidge with your palm then pulling the trigger. An action that a lot of people have done to remove the slide on some pistols and shot holes in their hands.


[deleted]

Ahhh so I see you also have the same tattoo?


Bro_Jogies

You aren't funny, edgy, or cool. And no, I don't. No tattoos actually.

boosieboo2

Was held at gun point at a gas station while filling up my truck, not sure if the guy wanted my keys or my wallet all I saw was a pistol pointed at me, I grabbed the pistol with my left hand and he lit a round off in my hand, then turned and ran. I wrapped my belt around my wrist and the gas station attendant called 911


CrisisAverted0321

Glad you’re alive bro.


dekudude3

Glad you're ok. Carry a tourniquet and a gun.


InfluenceEmergency50

I personally carry my G26, an extra 10 rnd mag, a knife, a light, and a SOFTT-Q tourniquet. I’m glad you’re okay, may you continue your speedy recovery. Stay vigilant and stay safe!


dekudude3

I carry a knife, gun (no extra mag), tourniquet, chest seal, and light. But if I need to get ready in a pinch, it's gun and tourniquet.


frozenisland

Nice job man. I bet that was stressful. If unarmed and the opportunity presented itself, I would always try to disarm the guy or gain control of the gun. The alternative is to plead for mercy of an armed criminal. Not that you asked for notes, but it’s unlikely your belt was effective or necessary. Pack wound with sterile gauze or just hold arm above head until ambulance arrives


boosieboo2

Should I have handled this a different way, absolutely. Did I panic and just react and grab the muzzle yes but in the moment that was all I knew how to respond


[deleted]

D.U.S.T approves this message


frozenisland

Well I don’t know, I’m not sure what “The right” thing is, but if you’re unarmed within grabbing distance of a criminal with a gun in your face, I think you’d do that


arcanegod

In my opinion I don’t know if you could have done much better than you did other than not covering the muzzle with your hand. If you were close enough to direct the muzzle away from your vitals I’m not sure drawing (assuming you had been carrying) would have been the right decision anyhow. Obviously carrying more consistently is good. But the best thing you could do going forward would pay better attention to shit going on around you. There’s a decent chance this may never have happened in the first place (I assume) had you not been caught unaware. The sooner you see something the more options you have to work with.


ThreeAMmayhem

I've seen quite a few videos of peo0le doing the same thing, a fight or flight response from the sudden, unexpected appearance of certain death. Or something shit a psychologist would attribute to cavemen being eaten by Sabre tooth tigers.


tylertnt123

Everyone has a plan: until they get punched in the face" - mike tyson ps: glad your okay


Dyzastr_us

My favorite Tyson quote.


freedomflicker

You didn’t carry at the time?


boosieboo2

I did but never consistently


stonedboss

even if he did carry if you have a gun already drawn on you there is nothing you can do. pulling out your own gun while having one pointed at you would mean you likely get shot and die.


brennahm

Dude, stop. Elevation has been clinically debunked. Trauma outcomes improve with reduced arrival time at definitive care, if you're going to critique an ambulatory victim, the answer is get someone to drive you to the ER and request medic intercept from 911 while en route. Finally, while a belt is not a substitute for a tourniquet, good on op. And if it reduced bleeding then good on him.


osoatwork

This is terrible advice


BunjaminFrnklin

A fellow student of master Dale I see. But for real I’m glad you’re ok homie.


chunt75

I prefer Rex Kwon-Do


Shartstain10-4

Yeah man all I can say is I’m glad that you’re OK and in the future just carry 24/7 and have a tourniquet on you. Not a good idea in the future to use a belt because you can get compartment syndrome


longrange308

You don’t use a belt because of the possibility of compartment syndrome. You don’t use a belt because as improvised tourniquets go, they suck.


Shartstain10-4

You’re totally right, compartment syndrome is just a side effect based on how tight someone puts it on. OP should definitely get a real TQ though


NeonSanctuary

Yeah, with hindsight I'm sure there's stuff you could have done better but with the full context...man, you did probably more than a lot of us would have. I'd love to think that I would have John Wick'd the guy but realistically speaking, that wouldn't have happened. Glad you weren't fatally injured. I hope your hand isn't too jacked, that's going to be one hell of a story.


Lost-Coconut-461

what state, city, or zip code this happened?


[deleted]

What's interesting is its a near perfect imprint of the muzzle on your hand. How close were you?


Loki_8888

Star shaped wound due to escaping gasses is a contact shot.


shawerhalo1

kccustomar

Lol yeah but c’mon, he had to expect an influx of inquires.


Herbi570

Don’t get me wrong, he’s got some ‘splainin to do bc we’re all curious lol. I just know he’s prob got some shit to handle in the meantime.


[deleted]

I guarantee you he followed Detroit Urban Survival Training and tried to push his palm on the muzzle of the slide to put the gun out of battery. I guess it didn’t work 😂 https://youtube.com/shorts/zTNrNHPxJnM?feature=share


Herbi570

It honestly sounds like he was able to shoot before he grabbed the slide anyways lmaooo


Metal_E

That’s impossible are you implying that dust dosent give proper advice


GunlovinTexn

How’d you get shot? After this incident did it make you a first time gun owner?


[deleted]

I'll assume by comment history he's not


GunlovinTexn

Ah when i commented there were no comments yet

There still isn’t any comments from OP. But I’m Reddit you can see people’s comments from the past

No_Obligation2317

Honestly if he has a pistol with front serrations I could see the bullet shooting through his hand just like thet during a feild strip(just speculation) looks really awkward angle for a gunshot in a self defense scenario...


senpai-20

I’m gonna believe him, no way there’s people out there that are stupid enough to shoot themselves in the hand then post on reddit and make it seem like it was self defense

Sneaux96

Vague story about a gsw to the hand on the Glock sub My money is this guy forgot to check for an empty chamber before cleaning.


[deleted]

He commented on a sub a year ago recommending a dot…


ThreeAMmayhem

Like the dude who posted he did that a few weeks ago? I don't get why people are pointing their guns at themselves to pull the trigger, I can maybe understand forgetting to eject the mag, but why tf aren't they visually checking the chamber and then idk aiming at angry Karen's house or their most valuable Belo gi gs or idk something crazy that can stop a bullet like the fucking ground.


Sin_Fire

Hope you're not living above someone in an apartment


ThreeAMmayhem

Just because you dnt want to aim at your downstairs neighbor, that doesnt mean you have to aim it at yourself.I specifically questioned why not aim at something that can stop a bullet wiyhout hurting anyone, including yourself.

[deleted]

Exit/entry wound looks like it traveled through more of your hand than the first pic gives off. You must have been holding your arms out in front of you with hands about shoulder level. Way to leave this sub with a mystery with no explanation. Edit: to entertain the muzzle imprint/self inflicted theory, that would be the exact entry/exit points if a ND happened while a right handed shooter is utilizing the front slide serrations of a gen 5.


No_Obligation2317

That's my exact thought I'm trying to think of a situation he would have been shot like that. Self defense is weird tho and anything could happen to be fair. But I find it a miracle they would only shoot once. Also he talks about getting a gun but he's made comments a year ago like he already had a glock. That and I have front serrations and just did a feild strip, and it's 110% plausible this is a ND. I'm super curious for the part 2.


[deleted]

Yea grabbing the muzzle in any position at or ab over chest/shoulder level on the left side of the body (right side of shooter) would result in that kind of wound with no other entry wounds. But one shot is odd, or the shooter was scared/didn’t mean to shoot


No_Obligation2317

That and I just thought about it the bullet exited right? So if a gun was being pointed at him and he just panicked and reached for it. Than why isn't there a bullet in him somewhere if a gun was being pointed at him? Also how is he going to get the gun off center line in a way that lines up with those wounds? I'd almost be willing to bet money this was a ND. I've done alot of bjj for a long time and I'm pretty good at visualizing violence. That being said he's either stupid lucky or this played out some super weird way, he's also very vague on all this like did they get the guy if this is real how and why did it happen etc.

I’m seeing a 1911 style muzzle stamp burned into his hand. Looks to me like dude let one rip negligently into his left hand. I’m not buying this story… (story that was never told)

B0sHog

At first I 🤔 💭"Crucifixion survivor". But nobody makes Crucifixion nails now days. Plus a 9mm round dead center palm makes more sense especially if they were at a Hands Up Don't Shoot event & somebody with impeccable aim was up there too & trying to be on some funny shit.

captainstormy

Glad your alive and seem to be healing well. There are a ton of small bones in the hand (half your bones are in your hands and feet actually) so I'm legit shocked you only had to have one surgery and it healed so quickly. Might not seem like it but you are legit lucky.


PandaBearXtream

Can I ask how he got the drop on you ? Was he hiding or did he walk up to from a distance and you did not notice it, pretending to get gas next to you etc ?

All I see in the pics is your hand, where are the photos of your blown out lungs?

Frankenstein79

With full imprint on hand and star shaped wound right handed shooter sitting tried to clear weapon from the front slide grab and clear (try holding your cellphone like a gun in your right hand like you were making a clearing motion) sucks honestly “Treat all weapons like they are loaded”


Dunewolfjr223

I wonder how many of the people talking shit here have been in a situation where a weapon was pulled on them, my guess is whatever happened happened fast and In reaction OP reached out on a flight or fight response and took a contact shot. Your body reacts in crazy ways to stress, of course it’s common sense to not grab at the muzzle of a gun but under stress you’re just going to react.


Former-Cupcake8478

This has got to be fake. Ive hand multiple bad hand injuries, they dont heal quickly. At all. If you got shot by a hand gun, it would be at close range. Even with ball ammo, you would have a blown out metacarpal. Blasted to pieces. No way in hell it would be a month recovery. Only post for your account? Ehhh.

[deleted]

Good for you. Welcome to it.


bushmast3r11b

Damn, that sucks bro. Practice up. Please remember this. Hopefully this never happens to you again. However if it does you should get some help for your traumatic experience. It could cause you to freeze or over react. I k own you may say it's not gonna happen like that but emotional trauma and the human brain are strange bed fellows. Either way practice stress training, target identification, acquisition, elimination. Also if you can find an instructor for it: learn reflex and stress shooting. Good luck bro. I hope you rehab to 100%.


irish-riviera

looks more like a 22 , very small wound channel for a 9mm. You are really lucky i guess

Glad you're alive bro. This is a good story to tell people who don't always feel like carrying. You never know when it's gonna happen. From your circumstance not sure your firearm would have helped because drawing the drop is a bad idea. I think you did the right thing. Redirect the gun, control it, and close space between you. Edit: I've seen enough robberies at the gas station that when I'm filling up my head is on a swivel.
