Ok, since no one else will say it I will. my guess would be he effed up and used the fumbled drop as an excuse. he was probably dicking around with it doing who knows what and popped himself in the hand. since he knew he'd be ostracized by friends and family he came up with the fumble story. I think this is more likely than what he said happened. I could be wrong and my unsolicited free opinion is worth every penny. either way it looks painful and lessons were learned.
Yes, I agree completely.
I vote he was disassembling it, didn’t make sure it was unloaded, and when he pulled the trigger to remove the slide, sent a round through his hand. Then made up the drop story to save face.
Very likely.
My guess is he was FOT coming out of the holster and discharged the gun as he was bringing his support hand to the gun. Not buying the fumble story.
Also compelling.
