Is this the guy who posted his story here and it turned into a LONG thread? Or a different owner with the same mistake? I do know of a case of the same issue in my area, I'm sure there's more.

Sued S&W for making a dangerous product, judge ruled in favor of S&W. ETA: Archived thread where the guy posted about the event. (I think it is the same guy, can anyone verify that?) http://www.ar15.com/archive/topic.html?b=1&f=5&t=664580 Please tell me this wasn't our guy. The S&W manual even has pictures for the illiterate demonstrating how properly hold and how to NOT hold the revolver when shooting. |

I was next to a guy with one of these hand cannons at the range and when he fired, it blew fragments into my arm. I showed him the bleeding spots on my arm and he didn't care at all. He didn't even apologize. I moved to another station. Then he fired again and had his hand next to the cylinder and it bloodied up his hand. He packed up and left. I will not sit next to one of these again.

I have one and you can literally feel the heat on your face when you fire a .460 hornady round in it indoors. It was also shaving off tiny pieces of jacketed .454's and sending them flying into my face, cutting my cheeck. At first I didn't realize what was happening till I noticed I was bleeding. Sent it in for repair and it's a little better but not 100% with .454's.
Another reason why you should ALWAYS wear shooting glasses!! |

Isn't this the guy who posted on a motorcycle forums that was cross-posted here or linked? That picture above seems to have come from that. I remember the guy asking questions saying that he was not interested in suing, but towards the end of a very long, multi-page thread, it became clear that was his intention.
Somebody even posted a picture of the S&W manual where it said do not hold the revolver that way due to the risk of injury. |

Wow, should have worked with the litigant in question here ... we might have had a chance if it was a class action
Just kidding of course, and that's my thumb pictured above. Still hurts looking at it. The difference is I quickly realized it was my own damn fault for making the mistake, and as such took full responsibility. I didn't try to capitalize on my own mistake. However, it would have been nice to learn the lesson with a 38 Special instead! But then again, my 'freak thumb' as my daughter calls it is a great conversation starter. |

First time i shot one was at an indoor range and it was epic win. Anybody who doesn't really take a hard look at their grip before shooting one of those has it coming. It's pretty damn obvious that gun is not something to be F'd with.

I remember some genius who had a Five Seven shot his reloads (5.7 is more finicky than a Garand in this respect) and wouldn't you know it blew up the guy and screwed his hand up,
So he asks FN "I shot my own reloads in this gun even though the manual says no reloads can I get a new pistol"? FN say "Yeah.....No we don't do that for reload incidents" He then goes on pretty much every internet gun forum (Here,THR,and The FSF for sure) and proceeds to go off on FN until they gave him a new gun.
