‘At this point I’m like: why isn’t this working, this guy is trying to kill me if he gets ahold of his gun. I pulled a third time, it goes off. When it went off, it shot through my door and my window was down and glass flew out of my door panel. I think that kind of startled him and me at the same time. When I see the glass come up, it comes, a chunk about that big comes across my right hand and then I notice I have blood on the back on my hand.

The muscle memory that conditioned him to rack slide on FTF may have saved his life.

This situation would have never happened to Deputy Barney Fife

Just read that too. Not a good showing for Sig.

Could have been adrenaline, and he just never heard the shot. We've all experienced it hunting, I know I have. I don't think I've ever heard a shot I've fired at a deer. I would think in a fight with a person like that his adrenaline was through the roof, his mind may have thought the gun never fired because he didn't hear it. That's just my two cents.

My P229 9mm never fails.

Sig didn't wanna be racist

I'd like to think the slide was slightly back when they struggled in the car. I guess one downside of a hammer-fired gun is that the recoil spring is, in fact, weaker, since it works in conjunction with the hammer. But then again, if the slide is slightly retracted on a striker-fired pistol it wouldn't discharge either.
But the restrike capability of the Sig and his quick failure clear saved his bacon.

Despite the misfires...........I'd say the Sig did its job in the long run.

A. Maybe none in the chamber? Otherwise, shitty ammo.
B. Why not release this depiction of the incident immediately? Seems like it would have prevented all the bullshite while everyone waited to hear the only actual participant's story.

his is just FYI for those that are interested, but do not have time to review the grand jury information.
Officer Wilson fired 12 times.
Brown was hit 6 times.
From officer Wilson's first encounter with Brown to Browns death 90 seconds elapsed.

Where are the Glock boys. Figured you'd be drooling at the mouth.

Thats why you need a JUDGE
a wheel gun would have went bang.
I would like to say this shite about these people wanting to piss on my constitution and the president is culpable with this side show also, and this crap is getting old but its past the point of getting old its actualy getting scary. We have seen the results of idiots buying into sound bites with grobels then obama and now the dumb driven cattle that belive anything al sharpton says Hallelujah! Holy shite! Where's the Tylenol?

Glock lovers, your shite need not apply. It's SAO and won't "click" twice without racking it. Lawd only knows what would have happened when the 3rd "click" was needed.

Going thru 3rd childhood with my toys. memory is waning. A very detailed comprehensive list of reminders to self.
1. shoot my concealed carry ammo out occasionally, or, at least top round.
2. Barney's old wheeled 38 would have been much more effective in this hth scenario, than my or anybody's pretty semi's.
3. this board has corrupted me, made me spend money on guns I don't need. I read my posts from when this board 1st started and I preached wheel guns, now yall have me loaded up with high dollar pistols and evil black looking rifles.(the couple that survived my many boating accidents).
4. fire sale @ the geauxt pen, I'm selling all my pretty stuff and investing in a more profitable venture, cake baking and decorating.
