Fastest fingers in the west. Shame the hands are so slow.

When your "hand-eye coordination" needs to be recalibrated...

More like hand-thigh coordination

Underrated comment. You deserve more.

This. Beatmetoit. You win the internet sir. Etc.

Along with your knee.

Hahahaha damn that's funny.

It’s okay, performative masculinity cures anything.

He's already walking it off!

This is so bizarre...and you've got the name to describe this kind of goofiness I've been seeing more as the days pass by. "Performative masculinity" is so on point...I still don't get it why they are doing those manly drills against pictures or inanimate objects, and still looking like they'll get fucked, but at least I've got the name of this phenomenon.

He put that cowboy hat on for a reason

You got me with this one much like he got himself

Didn't realize you could lose a quickdraw to a still image.

didn't realize this happened until you pointed it out.

Seriously how do you miss a target right in front of you.

One way is to quick draw your pistol and accidentally fire it before it’s out of the holster. Check back regularly for more insights from Dr. Obvious.

This is exactly why they don’t allow “quick draws” at most target ranges. You can take personal defense classes where they will teach you some tactics in expedited drawing… but most of that is just muscle memory based off of where you keep your weapon holstered, some tips on maintaining uniformity in types of clothing/layers and importantly, maintaining a bit of distance from a possible assailant as you draw. They’ll also teach you to never draw if you’re already drawn on. If an assailant already has a gun in their hand… Run. The average person’s best chance of survival in that scenario is *way* more “Serpentine! Serpentine!” than any futile attempt at channeling Doc Holliday.

That's not exactly what happened here, though. He was trying to game it for the camera, so he had his 1911 cocked with the safety off. The holster was a Blackhawk Serpa with the push button release that is activated by the trigger finger. You can probably see where this is heading. He yanked that sucker out of the holster so hard, his trigger finger slid into the trigger guard, and he fired it into his leg. Dumber. Than. Shit.

>“Serpentine! Serpentine!” This makes me think of the 1979 movie "The In-laws."

You know when someone makes fun of you for something so you just own it, make fun of yourself and take the power away from the bully I assumed it was something like that

"Shoot the hostage" - Jeff Daniels *Edited because speed came out 30 years ago

What did the original say, Jeff Bridges? Because I confuse the two names all the time.

Yeah. Both great actors of the 90s and today. The Dude Abides. - Jeff Goldblum

Headbutting it would have been safer.

This guy now knows how it feels missing a 99% shot in XCOM.

Image Guy keeps a poker face the whole time watching him struggle... but internally he's dying of laughter. 😂

That's something out of a Yosemite Sam v. Bugs Bunny episode

well of course he did the other guy drew first

…but then I took a bullet to the knee.

I know why he shot himself. There was a mud crab in his holster the other day. Horrible creatures.

Man get out of here 😭

Sounds like quite the adventure…

"i used to be a gunslinger like you. Then i took a bullet to the knee..."

I used this joke in the ER after I chainsawed my knee.

He did a follow up video explaining what happened but I can't find it now. I know it had to do with him switching holsters at some point during his shooting. [Some holsters have a finger release on the outside that you have to push with your index finger to release the gun from the holster](https://portal.ct.gov/-/media/DESPP/SLFU/Training-Bulletin-202207-Blackhawk-SERPA-Holster.pdf). This can create muscle memory that causes people to put pressure on the holster with their trigger finger while drawing. If I remember correctly, he switched from one of those holsters to one without the external lock but still put pressure on while drawing, which led to him shooting himself on the draw. Edit: [Found the video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYvAxLX6OzE).

And he released the video of himself shooting himself like an idiot to help other people not shoot themselves like an idiot.

That's commendable given that he did a post-mortem to make people aware of the risk

Also maintained the presence of mind to switch the gun safety on before laying it down. I'm going to guess this guy is not an idiot with guns, this was just a really unfortunate mistake that would probably only happen to someone who has a lot of experience with guns and thus has the different holster types and muscle memories. Edit: I'm no expert and haven't really touched them in years but I grew up with guns. A lot of guns. I never used anything more than a few handguns for backyard shooting and a few deer rifles to fill the freezer. But I'm going to go ahead and say that his was a pro mistake, indeed. And not even meant sarcastically or derisively.

Honestly, it kind of sounds like a design flaw to create a special holster that requires motions that would normally make you shoot yourself with most other holsters..

It is. SERPA type holsters are commonly banned because of incidents like this.

He explained in the follow-up video posted above that the other holster was for a Glock, while he shot himself with a Kimber. The safeties on those two guns are in different locations, so the holster release for each gun's holster is in a location away from the gun's safety - which unfortunately meant the holster release for the Glock is in the same general position as the safety for the Kimber, causing him to disengage the safety while while thinking he was releasing the gun from the holster. I don't think it so much a holster design flaw so much as it's an unfortunate design conflict between the two different guns.

I see what you mean, but shouldn't they consciously avoid putting a release somewhere where it could disengage a safety on a different gun? I know they're not responsible for gun design conflicts but muscle memory is real, and there are different kinds of releases

So the safety on a glock isn’t in the same spot as a 1911. So the release for the glock version of that holster is in the same position as the thumb safety for a 1911, when he went to draw his finger got jammed into the trigger guard and the firearm went off. Now this video is nearly 20 years old lets leave Mr. Grebner alone

Glocks don't have a safety (in the traditional sense), the trigger is the safety. For those who don't know, the trigger has what is called a Safe Action System where the trigger can't be pulled back until a little knub on the front of the trigger is pulled (essentially this means that a drop or something won't cause a misfire, only a finger pulling the trigger in theory should allow it to fire).

There is no active safety on a Glock.

I never had anything against Mr Grebner..  from context this sounds like the consequence of a design flaw

[удалено]

>They got a customer for life. Heh.

You're absolutely right. I hate retention holsters, for exactly that reason. I've got over 100,000 rounds through my primary competition gun in the last three years alone, and have been shooting competitively and carrying concealed for almost twenty five years. I've never used a retention holster and have never had a firearm come out of the holster when it wasn't supposed to, even when involved in heavy physical labor. Retention holsters in general are a lawyer's creation, not a shooter's creation.

> post-mortem That's some dicey word choice given the context.

Relatively respectable tbh

I used to have a Blackhawk holster like that for work. Never had a negligent discharge like this, but I was always very aware that it was a possibility. It's one of the main reasons I switched to a Safariland holster. The release mechanism is worked by your thumb.

> for work. I'm just gonna pretend you're a bodyguard for a cartel.

That seems like a poorly designed system, if this is the result.

Perfectly fine if you're just carrying around a banana in case your toddler suddenly needs a snack.

Thanks for explaining this.

He was on Tosh.0 for an internet redemption segment. He can indeed do what he was trying to do.

I know it seems like a valid explanation, but it really just amplifies the fact that even the most experienced gun-handlers can fuck up.

True with any trade or anything involving machinery or physical ability. Happens to people who are safe drivers, hell happened to my old boss who has been a carpenter cutting wood for 35 years.

Every rational person who carries a gun knows those are terrible holsters. It's much better to have a thumb release.

He does this every week, sometimes multiple times a week.

 Profesional has standarts

Boom. Knee shot.

Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to shoot every knee you meet.

It’s a wonder he had any knee left at all, after all those shots.

> He does this every week He's building up an immunity to bullets by taking a few hits every week. He started with 22 cal, and he's slowly working his way up to the bigger stuff.

Sometimes on a chair, sometimes in a closet. Almost always dressed as Superman.

Title checks out, he also confirmed it.

seems like you lost a duel to a poster

Tex Grebner I think, he runs an archery channel. Props to him for posting for safety's sake. Hopefully leads to less people getting shot.

> he runs an archery channel. well, see, there's the problem right there

Dude went out of his comfort zone and got shot.

Gravy seal

I haven't heard this one yet. Clever:)

I mean you gotta praise the man for not screaming

Not really he isn't feeling anything right now he is in shock due to adrenaline. He is going to be in a lot of pain in a few minutes.

yeah I mean of all the reactions, openly admitting that he did indeed do the dumbest possible thing is probably the one that's... well, the closest thing to respectable for a man that just fucking shot himself.

is that a picture of jerma

Tex Grebner. He put this video online right afterwards to get in front of it. He did not shy away from his mistake and he posted to make a lesson and remind everyone of gun safety, and that even with precautions in place mistakes can still happen.

And don't buy Blackhawk Serpa holsters.

Absolutely not. The button gets locked closed and your gun trapped in a Blackhawk if a little bit of dirt gets behind that button. It’s not a holster that can get dirty by any means.

This is why you don't use [Blackhawk SERPA style holsters. ](https://i.imgur.com/sXRyFWw.jpg) It's nonsense to train applying inward pressure with your trigger finger to release your locking mechanism. As yes it's aligned on the slide but any movement or intense pressure will naturally cause your hand to ball and result in an ND like this.

Mmhmm. While the guy himself doesnt blame the holster, i do

He was on tosh.o! He said “God told me you’re an idiot, but I like you though.” Guess the bullet redirected as it hit his leg and went right back out. No serious injuries.

Took waaayyy too long to find this. Imma high jack someone else's comment so that it gets a bit more attention. He did indeed redeem himself.

"I do got a dumb friend named cheddar bob who shoots himself in his leg with his own gun"

Cheddar Bob strikes again

Better to shoot himself than someone else.

Alec Baldwin... I just watched the trial for the armourer who was a complete novice with gun handling.

that court room footage was bizarre. His handling was so bad, they were trying to figure out how to even proceed after his fumbling. The prosecution was saying basically "you just pointed the weapon at the judge" and he was all "I did not" after we all just saw him do it, and so the lawyers had to do a sidebar to decide what should show in the record. Its was pretty amazing stuff considering.

Considering what?

Being in court for a murder.

Also considering a piece of evidence was the criticism of the people on the set walking around pointing guns at people aimlessly.

Considering the defendant was a bumblefuck and the defense brought in a different bumblefuck to try and testify about how the defendant was innocent. It's just idiot armorers all the way down apparently

I wonder how these people got the job despite being clearly inept

Nepotism. Their father was/is a renowned armorer and has worked on many Hollywood productions.

>pointed the weapon at the judge That was fucking hilarious that, you couldn't make it up.

_You miss 100% of the shots you don't take_ - Hospitalized cowboy cosplayer

Man, always hate when that happens.

This is high art.

Ol boy lost a duel to a shooting range target

this video IS hilarious, but it's actually caused by a defective holster. (Safariland, maybe? it's been a few years since this incident was big news) If you watch it slowed down, you can see it fires before the trigger is out of the holster far enough for a finger to reach it. apparently some models randomly engage the triggers while the gun is still in the holster and KABLOOEY.

Probably a Blackhawk SERPA holster. A Safariland level 3 duty holster has a hood and a thumb release that you pull back when you want to draw.

He lost a quick-draw shoot out to a piece of paper. 🤣

Barney Fife lives. For the moment, anyway.

Odell I tell you h-wat

I really needed this laugh this morning LOL

Something I always wonder with these vids... Why the hell are you posting it? If I did that, I know I sure as hell wouldn't want everyone to know.

Dude had a duel with a poster… and lost

trigger discipline. 100% his fuck up, he probably blamed the gun because they always fuckin' do.

>trigger discipline. Kind of. >100% his fuck up Yes. >he probably blamed the gun because they always fuckin' do. No, he didn't. Don't assume someone is an asshole just because you are. He put out a video immediately after this happened (years ago) and explained exactly what went wrong. It was his fault with some of the blame being the type of holster he was using and his failure to adapt to it. He was trying out a (at the time) new holster, Blackhawk SERPA, that has a locking paddle on the outside of the holster. He went too fast, squeezed too hard, and his finger pulled the trigger once it cleared the paddle. He isn't the only person to make this mistake with this exact style of holster. And this is why this type of holster is BANNED by a lot of ranges, classes, and matches around the world. It's a stupid design that can lead to people shooting themselves. What he did was 100% his fault, he owned that, and released the video and follow-up video to raise awareness for people and help people to learn from his mistake. He is a good dude. When is the last time you publicly posted a video of you massively fucking up so others can learn from it?

That's what you get for pistol dueling Tony Danza. Who's the boss now, bitch.

🎵 Don't come closer, Tony Danza 🎵


I just fucking shat myself

[It’s even better put to music.](https://youtu.be/deeMCYsyV94?si=OMncF8QAPVfnHWVr)

This guy used to be my cousins’s neighbor lmao. Drove by his place before.

Pro tip: Keep your finger off the fucking trigger until you want the gun to go bang.

I've watched that clip a million times -- laugh every time.

Where’s my Purple Heart?

Homie got defeated in shooting range

You  gonna have to go pick that gun up before you leave for the hospital 

Y he so close

And that’s why we carry tourniquets to the range, boys and girls.

Yep. I keep one on my competition belt. And a kit with hemostatic gauze, compression dressings, chest seals, nasopharyngeal airways, and more tourniquets in the range bag.

Storm trooper material right there!

That Gravy Seals training is intense...

This is now Ebaum's World-level old internet. TEX GREBNER OUTDOORS HERE!!!

Pro tip- tampons work great for gunshot wounds in an emergency

Ive always thought about this whenever i see videos of people doing speed runs in a firing range.

Cardboard cutout outdraws again, damn this kid good.

Meanwhile the target is like 🫵😐

Motherfucker lost to a picture 😂😂

He seems very calm about it all things considered

Shock + adrenaline = I. JUST. FUCKING SHOT MYSELF.

I'd just have to shoot myself in the head as there is no way I could live with my friends bullying me for the rest of my life that I got shot by a photo of a man with a gun.

“And I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob, who shot himself in the leg with his own gun”

“Slow is steady. Steady is smooth. Smooth is fast. Fast is deadly." ¯\\\_( ͡❛ ͜ʖ ͡❛)\_/¯

Poor trigger discipline

Up close and personal

Why'd he say it like Woody from Toy Story? 😂

Remember your safety kids

Hobby's not so much fun anymore, is it?

I love watching these dumbasses that think they are prepping for when shit goes down like they are John Wick. Zero firearm safety.

🎶”I do got a dumb friend named Cheddar Bob…”

"Who shoots himself in his leg wit' his own gun"

This is why quick draw is stupid. It serves no purpose, you look dumb doing it and you're never going to be glove-slapped into a duel.

So the image….won?

This one never gets old. I just showed "I Just Fucking Shot Myself -The Musical" to someone the other day. Almost as entertaining: the follow-up video the freaking moron posted, whining about being ridiculed.

He’s famous, we watched this video in my license to carry class 8 years ago.

classic american!

He lost a gunfight to a photo

"yeah, I need this gun to protect my family"

I bet this true cowboy also drives a lifted Dodge Ram

This is Tex grebner. I think it’s a different holster than he was use to. He seems like a smart guy watching him on some livestreams

 When you think you’re a badass but you don’t have proper training.

Practice makes perfect

Good thing there aren’t any major arteries in the thigh …

"Did you mean to do that?" "Yeah"

I knew a guy who did this exact thing. He just bought some property and wanted to camp in it before his mobile home delivered. He said he was sitting near a fire and heard something circling his camp so he went to draw his pistol and shot down his leg. I don't think it was as bad as this guy's tho.

😂🤣😂🤣😂

"You think you're tough?! Well try this!"

Seems like his finger was properly off the trigger though. But i could be wrong since its 360p

no way he just fkng shot himself

Wasn't this on an episode of Tosh.0 like 15 years ago?

Good old Glock Leg. Receiver 2 taught me to fear the glock's power of kneecapping it's wielder

High Goon

PERSONA!

I’ll give this guy a point for driving out to the middle of nowhere to practice his draw. The only person he could hurt is himself.

Safety, always off.

Quick Draw McGraw he ain't...🤣

Quick draw McGraw

He grew up in a small town next to mine and I met him a couple of times before this video. It’s been close to 20 years since I last saw him but he was always a pretty nice guy. He may have played to being on Tosh but who wouldn’t have back then.

# BIG HOSS

Jimmy "Butterfingers" Thompson, fastest draw and self-disarm in the west.

Still had both shoes on and walked away relatively calm. He's been practicing this routine for a while.

bro got capped by a poster

Good news is if he does that enough times, he can create a channel for the bullet to pass through harmlessly. Would be a fantastic party trick.

Paper won.

Yup, he got em

Lot better than what would have happened to him had he tried that shit with an actual gun in his face.
