I was at the range today shooting a Glock 9mm. In my limited experience and notwithstanding the popularity of Glocks- I really don't like them. I find the grip not long enough to accept my little finger and as a result I hold the firearm higher than I should to compensate. The slide came back and nicked me twice.
This is a testament that strange things can happen. My shooting partner today accidentally loaded 11 rounds in the clip! I did not think this was possible in a ten round. The gun was proven safe and cleared prior to loading the mag. I broke off 10 rounds, ejected the mag and aimed uprange as I always do just in case, and pulled the trigger. To my surprise an 11th round fired uprange!
This goes to show how important that safe practices are. I did pull the trigger with the gun above waist level but in the future I'll always clear it as if there are more than 10 rounds in the firearm!
