Doc, I'm curious about the specifics of the MOI. Do you happen to know exactly where the pistol was tucked? Was the hammer cocked?

It's SOP on many if not most teams to leave the safety off when carrying the M9. If the hammer was not cocked, the blast would had to have racked the slide to the rear in order for the hammer to fall on the firing pin. I'm not asking to be critical, but to be safe.
Great question and thanks for asking. Was concentrating on the injury and medical side not the details as the injury needed to be cared for. I do not know the details. So many times things are cloudy when incidents happen and many times they cannot tell you or are too embarrassed to let you know what "really happened". It wouldn't change our care.

Thanks,

D-
