Actually, I believe he has a four

Damn, that blows. At least you just hit the cylinder. Glad you're ok. How much is a new cylinder?

Better than shooting your AR with your snubbie.

Aside from the engine block, for the most part cars are concealment, not cover. Just nitpicking.

Here's a screenshot of me shooting my gun. The revolver is circled in red.

so this *is* the first true semi vs revolver thread?

That'll buff right out...

But hey, if you get it opened, you can make it a 4 shot revolver... .

Hope you can get it fixed... I love my 442...

What do you want to bet that those pictures show up elsewhere on the 'net with some heroic story about how the pistol deflected a round that would have hit the owner right between the eyes?

OP: Thanks for being honest, but I'll say the same thing to you that my dad always said when I fucked up..."well that wasn't very smart, but at least you learned from it."

You are lucky you didnt shoot your roof.

And you wouldnt be first to do so.

Sorry about your luck though...

I honestly really wouldn't care if I shot my roof, otherwise I wouldn't have used my car like that. I just didn't realize my revolver was on there.

I'm not even going to bother listing out all the things you did wrong. Instead I'll just say that you're damn lucky you've still got 10 fingers, both eyes and didn't need to have a doctor remove shrapnel from your face.

looks like your AR is jealous of all the time you spend with you S&W

too bad cause they would work well together.

[#19]

Fuckin' awesome!

Is that a Ford Probe?

Maybe you and piccolo could go on a date or something.

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:14:27 PM EDT

[#20]

That will buff out. I would love to be at S&W when they get this one in the shop for repair. Be sure to send the story along, I'm betting it's not the first time, but there won't be many to duplicate this one.

They might give you a new revolver so they can keep that one for marketing. "Strong revolver, resists high power rifle fire"

that sucks dude.

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:14:55 PM EDT

[#22]

Ouch.

Oh well, could have been a lot worse than a new cylinder and a small hit to the ego.

Kudos for owning up to your accident and as long as you learn from it it's all good.

Ouch! It'll need more then a new cylinder. I'd bet it'll need a new crane and it wouldn't surprise me if the frame was tweaked a bit also. Since the new cylinder would have to be timed you might as well send it in and see what S&W will do for you.

Consider it an expensive lesson in the difference between point of impact and point of aim.

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:17:54 PM EDT

You win the AWARD!

Q. What's the best way to shoot your S&W 442?

A. With your AR-15, of course!

That couple of inches 'tween bore & sight will bite You.

I once thought I had that strand of barbed wire cleared.

Twice.

Two in a row. After the first "Twang!" I thought "gotta remember to add a little more clearance!". wasn't enough.

Glad it was a fence that wasn't used any more. I figured Gawd didn't want Me to shoot those Gophers that Day, so I drove on Home.

Anyway, I know about the sights being higher than the bore, which is why I DIDN'T SHOOT MY CAR. The revolver happened to be just a bit higher than my car....

OUch! What an expensive lesson. I bet you will not do that again.

I've seen people shoot their cars ... just because the scope clears the hood ...

You don't own a holster? Or do you not have CCW? Either way, seems odd. Read about the FBI Shootout in Florida in the 80's for some examples of why it's bad to have your gun under your leg in a car chase....

And, yes first time I've heard of someone shooting their own gun. Hopefully you can get it fixed....

Eventually you are going to shoot your car.

Yes I own holster, but not for the 442. If I'm driving it goes under my thigh for quick access, ever tried drawing from a holster while seated and belted in?

Yeah but he hit what he was aiming for, he didn't eye it up and then proceed to plunge it into the mattress a couple inches below.

I would have hit what I was aiming at if my damn revolver hadn't been in the way.

Wow. Shooting that close to the car's roof is . . . well . . .risky.

Lucky you only hit the revolver about two inches above the roofline!!

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:52:08 PM EDT

Glad your ok on that one... lead splatter in your face can be a bitch.

At least you had the balls to post it up on here for the rest of us to benefit from the mistake as well.

I am ALWAYS leery of the AR's sight height over bore. And after watching AOTTC and this thread, it is really evident how important it is.

Any damage to the car?

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:52:14 PM EDT

[#49]

Send it to S&W and tell them that it came that way.

Posted: 5/21/2009 1:52:55 PM EDT

[#50]

Wow...had I not read the whole story I would have thought for sure you used a GLOCK BULLET in your gun...
