well i was holding the slide when i pulled the trigger but who knows. i know the new splint sucks. did u put the sign on my desk?
However judging by the photos you took a .40 through the hand. You can pretty much see where the bullet entered, traveled and exited your hand.
would the escaping gases be enough to do that much damage (in combination with bite)? I remember Mythbusters doing an episode about a thumb being blown off by escaping gases on a large caliber handgun...they confirmed it. Just wondering if that would make sense (I'm no expert).
Hope you have a quick recovery...from one VW guy to another (judging from your S/N)...
A revolver has a different design than a sem-auto (obviously).
A revolver has a gap between the cylinder & the forcing cone to allow for cylinder clearance on closure. On Mythbusters they used a high powered round (I think it was a .44 mag). Lower powered rounds hurt but not that kind of damage.
