I've wanted to run this by an 18B or someone knowledgeable about the old military .45 and any glitches it might have.
Back in 1971 I was on a rifle range with my Cambodian company. Me and my bode CO were firing our .45's. I don't recall if I had fired a box of amo more or less. When finished I jacked a round in the chamber, put the gun on safety and put it in my custom holster which had a small leather strap that went over the hammer and buttoned down. The strap would not snap had the hammer been back.
I then walked over to a team member and was talking with him. I had my hands on my hips not touching the .45 when it discharged. The bullet took off the button on my fatigue pants and just caught the inside of my boot and nicked my big toe.
I've been around guns all my life and I consider myself extremely safe when handling guns.
I'm sure I put the safety on and I was not touching the grip safety so it was not depressed. I've always been of the belief that the gun cooked off, but not sure how a .45 could get that hot.
Anyone know if a history of this weapon discharging accidently and don't tell me this thread should be in the Comedy Zone
