The fellow is left-handed and was carrying his 1911 pistol inside the waistband. The pistol was holstered, but the hammer was not cocked, there was one round chambered. He withdrew the firearm, holster and all, from his waistband to change for work, and it discharged. The round went through the upper thigh/groin of his left leg and exited the back of his thigh landing in an adjacent locker. When police arrived at the scene, they had to remove the firearm from the holster to make it safe and the spent casing was still in the firearm.
What went wrong?
