My dad always carried a 22 pistol carrying it the exact same way. Long story short, the pistol fell off, discharged, and the bullet went in his back.

I know you said “pistol” but was it really a pistol or was it a revolver? Either way I’m guessing this was an older handgun without modern drop safety or transfer bar. Was it a 22LR or 22WMR or something else?

The good lord was watching out, the bullet (FMJ) went in approximately 1" due to the angle of trajectory.

That is very unfortunate and I am sorry such a thing happened. That gun would have had to be just at the perfect angle in the X, Y, and Z planes to even hit your dad. Seems to me like if the LORD really had any involvement he could have easily deflected it away from your dad, not just hit him in a non vital area.
