If you are going to be an idiot ...

I removed this clip because posters made good points about whether or not it belongs here. I won't debate whether or not the guy was an "idiot," but I still do think that he wasn't practicing good safety measures.

A real old video, but not funny.

And not so much an idiot. He explains what and how this happened. I think many learned from this

Not sure what makes this video C&R... Is it 50 years old or did you go the museum curator route?

I would be interested in the "how" background on this. I wouldn't mind learning something more than just not to shoot myself.

In the world of online viral videos, this one is definitely old enough to be a C&R.

I would agree with this. I will also note that I remember back when this video came, out Serpas were the king of tactical holsters. Now, not so much. I don't have any experience with them, but the video makes a compelling argument to be careful.

With the clip gone, I may never know whether I'm an idiot.

Maybe I should ask the wife.

I'm pretty sure it was the video of the guy that shot himself while training solo with a serpa holster.

If so worth noting the guy came back and followed up with exactly what and why he thought it happened, as a good faith safety warning.

It was his video and a few other reasons, I purchased a few serpa holsters, to train with specifically so I would have firsthand experience with it. The retention is good, holster is quality, but because it can be difficult to release under stress in an emergency, I do not recommend this holster for self defense carry.
