I'm pulling this story I posted out of the p320 thread so that maybe others, especially new shooters, can learn how quickly bad things can happen and the importance of making sure your pistol is drop safe.
If the other folks who posted similar stories in that thread (or anybody who has a similar story and isn't afraid to own their mistake for the benefit of others) could repost in this one I think we could build a valuable training tool.
Now I'll fully own my screw-up.
I was sitting down one evening to take a dump. Like usual I removed my loaded and holstered glock 26 from my belt and placed it on the edge of the bathtub. Because I wasn't paying attention I set it a little too close to the edge. I watched it slide off the edge of the tub in slow motion and land on the tile floor on the back of the slide with the barrel pointed right at my face. I'm glad I was where I was when that happened and I don't put my pistol there anymore.
Having abs on my motorcycle doesn't encourage me to ride like a jackass, but I have activated it before when I screwed up. Just like having a drop safe pistol saved me when I screwed up my administrative gun handling.

Mod's if there is a better place for this move it, I wasn't sure of the correct forum for it.
